Rustic Roasted Vegetables
I live on the edge of Gouda. Literally on the edge. Right next to my house lies a huge park that marks the end of Gouda. I adore walking around there with my boy, seeing all the golden en red autumn leaves twirling around, my munchkin tossing them high up in the air, small leaves ending up in his fuzzy blond hair, his cheeks all flushed and his eyes sparkling…
Caramelized Carrots
I’m redoing one of my older recipes. Not just because it didn’t have photo directions, but mainly because it’s one of the best side dishes I ever came up with. I kid you not! Ok, that and my Asian Style Beans :) It’s definitely not one of the prettier dishes I’ve ever made, though, but the amazing flavor makes up for where it lacks in the aesthetic department. It’s the…
Stuffed Zucchini
I like the simple things in life. Simple ingredients, simple techniques, maximum flavor. But I guess you know that by now. Especially when you hand me a recipe that doubles as an appetizer or side dish, you just reel me in. Stuffed zucchinis are so versatile. It creates an endless amount of possibilities because almost anything goes with the smooth and silky flavor (and texture) of the zucchinis. Preparing them can be…
Creamy Brussels Sprouts
I never really understood how Brussels sprouts can have such a bad reputation. They just don’t deserve it. To me they’re little jewels I even serve as a side dish on Christmas. But since there are people out there who don’t share my love for them, it’s fun to try and come up with ways of cooking them so that those people might learn to appreciate them as well. A girl…
Caramelized Chicory
Now there are no forbidden fruits vegetables in my kitchen, and we all love chicory here (endive when you’re in the US), but I think most -and I use the term loosely- people don’t care for the slight bitterness. Such a shame because you can actually use it to your advantage and create a perfect balance between all the flavors. It’s so much fun to come up with recipes that…
Asian Style Beans
Green beans, snap beans, string beans, French beans, whatever you want to call them, they’re in season, they’re cheap, tasty and healthy. Go for it! We’re very high on vegetables here. We easily eat 10 oz a day (per person), so I’m always trying various ways to prepare vegetables making them slightly different every time we eat them. These have a little Asian twist to them and rank high on…
