Bananas are an easy fruit to buy and to eat, but very often I find them almost brown in the fruitbasket. ‘No waste’ is an important rule in my kitchen and thus, when I search for recipes with ‘mature’ bananas banana cake is often where my search leads to. Put all the ingredients at room … More Bananas in a cake
First frost in winter as initial start for Brussels sprouts doesn’t count anymore as ‘rule’, but let’s agree that we are in that kind of season now. For Iris those cute vegetables ask for mustard, so let’s find something more sophisticated. Libelle lekker.be has a whole edition with Pascale Naessens (cook/model/ceramist/popular). This idea of mustard … More Brussels sprouts… nostalgic mood???
I love gratins, not only in winter. As for many recipes there are rich versions, and less rich versions. My preference is obvious, the less rich versions, but still ‘gratin’. For 2p, cut 2 fresh fennels, 2 sweet potatoes (approx 300-350 grams in total) and 1 large onion in slices of 0.5cm. Put the slices … More Gratin
Tarte tatin… yummie, so easy. This version is a bit more fancy, using the seeds of a pomegranate to create some extra color. I love sundays!

A delicate fish, sole, is at it’s best in a real traditional recipe, sole meunière, but….Let’s prepare it a little lighter, but still ‘à la meunière’ which means ‘the miller’s wife method’. Season each side of the sole (without skin) with pepper and salt. Put then some flour at both sides. Bake in a mixture … More Sole meunière
The beautiful green soup of peas was always a real winter soup if combined with meat or bread crusts. This soup is perfect for any season, and above all it’s a great way to use the ends of parmigiano cheese. I usually use those ends in my tomato sauces and soup, for extra flavor, but … More Pea soup
