My visit to a Finnish supermarket was successful, I could find almost all ingredients. For tonight I bought 1 kilo of beetroot, 50 grams of chorizo, 150 grams of a creamy … More Inspired by delicious.nl
After living in Italy for a while, I realized that instead of having carbs as main ingredient, I (we) prefer vegetables. This is of course not how most of the traditional Italian main dishes are served. Our Italian friends will disagree with my recipes and will surely prefer old-school ones.

I’m a passionate cook, but my preferred recipes are simple, healthy, colorful and no waste. Now and again, I try something more ‘fancy’. Delicious.nl dedicated an article on Kobe Desramaults’new pop-up restaurant in Sicily. I was immediately inspired by the recipes. As starter, a combination of calamari, stracciatella ( the inner part of burrata), pistachio … More Imitating star chefs
Temperatures are going down, grass growing back since we have regular thunderstorms, finally I can harvest some courgettes of my little yard. It’s always remarkable how one season shifts into the following one. In Italy you can follow the seasons also in the offer of vegetables, but this week I found green asparagus 😋 from … More Gradual change of seasons
