One of the things I absolutely love about my new iPhone is the insane amount of recipe apps you can download for it. I’ve tried a few dutch apps, and in one of them I found this jewel of a reci...
What on earth could be better than dipping pieces of crusty French bread or crunchy vegetables, mini hotdogs and meatballs into hot, melted cheese? I was so happy when Boska, a Dutch company responsi...
Time flies, that’s for sure. Can’t believe it’s almost Super Bowl Sunday again. Let’s hope that whoever sings the American national anthem this year won’t mess up the wa...
I had chicken breasts in my fridge, a kitchen cabinet filled to the brim with fragrant spices, a crunchy ciabatta, and some Greek yoghurt. Plus—and this is the important part—my beloved s...
I made these for a friend of mine. She’s a huge fan of sickening sweet foods. Something I’m not. Quite the opposite, really. I didn’t want to deprive her of her beloved dates all to...
And not only because my intentions to eat healthier in 2012 already seem to have morphed themselves into something quite he opposite. I’ve failed 5 years in a row now! But it’s not my fau...
I’m a little late to the party, I know, but I finally did move over to the dark side (they didn’t even have cookies!). I ordered an iPhone. Yes, I did. If all goes well it will be deliver...
And then it happened; I seriously craved pork. And kabobs, especially those with a warm, oriental flavor. Add some fruit and red onion, delicious. You’d be hard-pressed to find pork in Moroccan...
I was so glad I grabbed my camera when I decided to give this recipe a try. Here’s what happens when Sloppy Joe meets Parmesan meatballs and is slightly tweaked. It’s a serious mix and ma...
I was trying to come up with a new beef stew recipe for Kayotic Kitchen. The best side for beef stew, in my opinion, is a crunchy green bean dish and steamed rice. I already posted an Indonesian-styl...
Here’s one you must try, provided you have a slow cooker. I’ve gone crazy with my crock-pot this past week, and this recipe—along with a gazillion other ones—turned out to be ...
Like every food blogger out there, I too struggle with a serious loss of light during those long autumn and winter months. Never made a secret of the fact I prefer shooting with natural light, but al...
One of my favorite Dutch food shows is called: ‘Over de kook“. It’s a show, or better yet, a contest between five amateur chefs battling it out in a restaurant kitchen using their f...
Wait! Don’t start your weekend just yet. I need you for a split moment. A couple of years back they started selling slow cookers here. Okay, so I admit we were a little late to the party! Suffi...
I’ve got a fantastic -not to mention easy- and slightly strange lunch recipe to share that I got from a friend of mine. I guess you could say I’m blessed, recipes find their way to me fro...
Can’t you let you start 2012 without an easy and incredibly delicious snack recipe, now can I? Revival of the Italian cheese cookies. J-man was looking forward to these so much. He loved them a...
Christmas Eve is almost here for us, so we lit the candle holder our munchkin made at school and want to take a moment to wish you and yours a Christmas filled with light, love and hopefully a...
Spur of the moment posting so had to shoot this really quick. It shows. I must have jumped a foot high when I found these brilliant breakfast egg, bacon & toast cups on the Martha Stewart site. H...
One of the cons to living in the Netherlands and especially the Randstad (conurbation) is that the houses are relatively small and oftentimes have such undersized living rooms that I just don’t...
You must try this. I’ll be twisting your arm if you don’t because you’ll miss out on the best beef stew, ever. You will want to bathe yourself in this stuff or use it as a perfume, ...
Now before you start throwing eggs at me: I know deviled eggs are about as predictable as the setting of the sun itself. They are definitely a 70′s type of retro party food that you either love...
It wasn’t until a friend of mine casually asked me what I had put into the chicken casserole that made it so creamy without making it greasy, that it dawned on me this is more an American than ...
Note to self: don’t leave your expensive mascara lying around in your living room.

Almost but not really a recipe. I just had to post it! I made lasagna the other day and still had some cottage cheese leftover with no idea what to use it for. Never been a really big fan of cottage ...
Hot chocolate and pink peppercorns. Now there’s a combination Willy Wonka didn’t think of. His loss: its liquid perfection. Found a variation to this recipe in a Dutch magazine (probably ...
This recipe is real tricky because it tastes so sinfully good you just can’t stop taking bites here and there while making them. At least I couldn’t. Makes it hazardous to your new Christ...
I like this photo so much, I think I might just hang a copy of it in my kitchen. But anyway… I’m looking for a recipe and really hope you can help me out. You see, very little makes me ha...
Here’s one for when you get tired of my other sausage recipes (Lazy Sunday casserole or beef sausages & balsamic tomatoes). It’s every bit as good. Nothing fancy or extravagant: just ...
The kid likes to bake so much that I secretly think he was switched at birth. Just my luck. So today was one of those days. We were tired of baking cookies, but we had chocolate chips and weren’...
