It’s time to reconnect. We are at the end of our holiday at home. Don’t worry, I didn’t stop cooking, I only took a break in writing down what I cooked. Marinate 4 mackerel filets in a few spoons if teriyaki. Spread on baking paper. Clean, chop and fry 500 grams of green beans, 1 … More Staycation, home cooking
I try hard to reduce plastic containers and other plastic material. Sadly enough radishes are not available without. Almost every vegetable here in Italy is sold per kilogram, as radishes. If you would present them without package a lot of people would leave the green part and only take the radishes. In the near future … More Pickled radishes
Broccoli looks good, tastes delicious and is super healthy food. Whole grain pasta is perfect in combination with this top ingredient. Boil 70 grams of whole grain pasta pp in salted water. Add 400-500 grams of chopped broccoli pp (no waist!!) during the last 4-5 mins of cooking time. Drain and keep some of the … More Another Italian tradition in a different coat
We only have a small freezer. I’m not that kind of person who prepares tons of food in advance to save me time during the week, and I usually tend to forget the frozen meals. Fish, home made stocks and curry pastes are the only turists in the freezer (and in summer also ice cream … More Frozen fish
After our first truffle hunting I learned that the best way to store the truffle (fresh truffle can be stored for maximum a week) is in a glass recipient with a perfect lid together with rice, barley or spelt in the fridge. The rice, barley or spelt gets the awesome flavor of the truffle and … More Barley with a flavor of truffle

Gerda, my mother in law, probably worried my inspiration will be gone soon ;-), collected a lot of recipes for me. This eggplant recipe which she found in the magazine ‘Body talk’ as starter, is a perfect main dish in a larger portion. I make a ‘docV version’. For 4p 1,2 kilo of eggplant is … More Eggplant soufflé
Since I discovered the combination of melon in a salty salad ( Fruit in a salty salad, ideal lunch!)I try to create variations on that theme. Certain people will never eat fruit at the same moment as the rest of a dinner, for many probably good reasons, but in this case you have a wonderful … More Fruit as a starter
Bibimbap is a popular Korean dish often served in a real hot stone recipient. Meat is optional, egg is optional, rice and vegetables are the main ingredients.

After 17 kilometers of walking we can use real healthy food. An oven without oven dish, without proper tray? Fish in papillot is managable. Use strong aluminium foil in two layers (to keep the oven clean). For 3p, make 3 different packages with sliced 2 onions, 4 chopped garlic cloves, 1 chopped spicy little pepper, … More Dinner 2 in New York
