Experimental dough for a quiche before a little blog-break to visit friends and family in Belgium

1 October 2017

I love quiches, and pizzas, but I often avoid preparing them because the excessive amount of kcal and fat. The new fashion of using cauliflower instead of flour is of course a perfect alternative, but there must be other ways, no? The experiment of today is still not perfect, but it’s already going in the … More Experimental dough for a quiche before a little blog-break to visit friends and family in Belgium

Shells in a creamy green vegetables mix made in a Portugese Cataplana and served with quinoa

30 September 2017

It’s time to use the cataplana. The Cataplana is a Portugese cooking dish, available in cupper (is the original), in inox, or in aluminium. The wonderful thing about travelling and food is buying a real genuine cooking tool in the country and using it to cook genuine but also non-genuine dishes. Split the cataplana into … More Shells in a creamy green vegetables mix made in a Portugese Cataplana and served with quinoa

Bringing back old memories, old flavors

27 September 2017

Moekenik, the day care mother of Iris, is associated with a lot of positive memories. One of those is her carrot puree with a poached egg. Sorry, Moekenik, but I will probably offend the original version and do it my way, knowing that puree reminds me of the afwul hospital meals which I had to … More Bringing back old memories, old flavors

Observational study in the supermarket ;-)

After 1 year visiting the same supermarket at least once a week they probably recognize me (hopefully in a positive way). It’s fun to observe people while shopping for food. My attention tends to drift in the direction of the people who inspect food in many different ways. Since last week the fresh porcini have … More Observational study in the supermarket 😉

At least one Asain meal a week, I promised Iris!

The smell of Thai rice and coconut cream is immediately in your nose when you think about it.
