Crazy Pita
Close your mouth and stop staring! That’s really melted cheese you see there! But what’s the red stuff? What better way to test my new lens (Nikon 28-105) than to show you my completely bizarre snacking habits in the shortest posting ever. This is the pita I’ve been snacking on ever since I was a teenager. It seems like a strange combination, but really, trust me … it’s so good. Very…
Herbed Bread Sticks
Despite what you might think, nothing is more difficult to me than shooting in direct sunlight. So many exposure issues to pay attention to, so many harsh shadows, so much soft, yellow light to mess up your white balance. But I like a good challenge and believe I’ve used the soft and rustic light to my advantage. What did I make? Another party snack/appetizer, of course! Simple herbed bread sticks….
Chicken Puff Samosas
Snack time! In case you haven’t noticed; I’m totally into puff pastry! It’s the perfect party food. Think about it, most people keep a few sheets in their freezer anyway. It’s quick, tasty, can often be made ahead of time and even served hot or cold. On top of that you can stuff them with anything you like; from crab or surimi, minced meat with veggies to curried chicken, veal ragout and everything…
Parmesan Twist

Lots of friends, food, cocktails, champagne and laughter. It doesn’t get any better than that in my little world. I usually start preparing things one or two days ahead of time, so I’ll have my hands free…
Kayotic Olive Dip
In Holland it’s quite common for people to stop by unannounced. Guess it’s just the Dutch way, pretty laid back. Friends or family coming over, my son having unexpected playdates with his little buddies, neighbors dropping by for a cup of coffee, people that show up spontaneously and end up at the dinnertable, it all happens here at Kayotic headquarters. Now I’ll be the first to admit I’m not always…
Tangerine Dream
Still on a major smoothie binge! Having fun trying to come up with new flavors. Kiddo and I really like ‘Jayden’s Smoothie‘, but lately I have another favorite as well. While growing up we had ice creams called ‘Sinasplit‘. Not sure if they still sell them, but basically it was a creamy vanilla ice stick covered in orange flavored water ice. Water ice is just a layer of water-based, non-dairy and…
