I never used kataifi pastry myself and to my surprise I could even buy it in the local store. Cooking for 2p, back on track 😉. Crumble 200 grams of feta in a bowl. Add 2 eggs, 300 grams of chopped courgettes (still growing), 300 grams of precooked and chopped swiss chard, 1 large clove … More Another pie
Last week we were still wearing a bikini and having meals outside. Today I’m covered in a warm hoodie 😏. I’m a true sun lover, but what is more magical than the change of season, as long as it doesn’t rain a whole week. New season, and thus other cooking styles. If you want a … More Change of season
Ottolenghi has a new book Flavor. The September edition of delicious.nl is extra thick with Yotam Ottolenghi as guest editor. Tonight’s dinner for 6 is a variation on the eggplant rolls with dahl. My ‘creation’ is an easier version, with even more vegetables. People sometimes complain that the ingredient list is to extensive. If I … More Flavor
Certain people bet for money, other people for soup. One of those crazy soup-lovers is my mother in law who is one of our visitors. Harira is the typical soup during the Ramadan. My version is a vegetarian version. Chop and fry 2 onions and 4 garlic cloves in a drizzle of olive oil for … More Harira
Beetroot and leek combined in a starter seems rather unusual, but… If I would have to choose the best Ottolenghi cookbook until so far, although I haven’t seen the recent one ‘Flavor’, my favorite is ‘Jerusalem’. It was my first meeting, ‘the first cut is the deepest’-sensation. In search for a menu for friends (5p … More Ideal starter
Fennel and gorgonzola, heavenly combination. Yes, I know, I probably did something similar already. Puppy school finishes at 8.30 PM and it’s dark already. Oskar is really doing well, as long as he gets little pieces of wurstel during his training😉. Although those wurstel are perfectly eatable for human beings, I prefer other ingredients. Slice … More I did it again!
Tomatoes are probably one of the most combined vegetables ( or is it fruits) in the entire world. The Italians are experts in cultivating and preparing this ingredient. Cut about 800 grams (for 2p)of roma tomatoes in halves. Spread on an oven dish. Chop 4 garlic cloves, 1chili and spread on the tomatoes. Season with … More Italians and their beloved lovely tomatoes
I can’t say that I’m a fan of tofu, but living with Iris who is a vegetarian, I have to pay attention to her balanced diet. Mix 2 chopped garlic cloves, 2 chopped chili, 4 cm of grated ginger, 1 teaspoon of dried lemon grass, 2 table spoons of lemon juice, 1 table spoon of … More Marinated tofu
We have an older fig tree in our backyard. This time of the year you see them gradually getting ready for consumption. The first harvest is the protagonist for tonight’s dinner.I bought some giardini base on chickpeas and lentils. Each package contains 3 piadini, with total weight of 225 grams, which is an ideal base … More Fresh figs in our backyard
Remember, if, by chance, you’ll visit us, and, you don’t want to travel ‘light’, bring me some of those 😜. Anyway, thanks to Dorianne Aussems, one of my lovely nieces, I still have a few halloumi portions waiting in the fridge. Inspired by Sabrina Ghayour, spicy halloumi salad is a perfect lunch for 4p, or … More Halloumi and all- in-bread- mix from AVEVE
