Real food for real life.
There was a morning in Portugal, a big wooden table out on the terrace, plates being passed down the line, a cozy warm little chaos, grabbing stuff from the table. A pile of small pancakes came in and all the kids eagerly grabbed some, this is when I properly understood […]
Some mornings just call for a bowl that feels like sunshine, and this quinoa breakfast bowl is exactly that. It takes me right back to holidays in the tropics, Curacao, Jamaica and also the Philippines, places where coconut isn’t just an ingredient, it’s part of daily life. Someone chops a […]
This is the dressing I make on repeat, olive oil, lemon, Dijon, a little honey and garlic, whisked together in about five minutes. Nothing fancy, just a good everyday dressing that works on pretty much any salad. The mustard helps it emulsify so it stays smooth and doesn’t separate as […]
You know, me and my wraps. If there’s a quick way to turn “not much in the fridge” into something worth eating, it’s usually this one. Falafel, a big handful of greens, whatever crunchy veg needs using up, rolled into something that takes fifteen minutes and tastes like way more […]

A colourful lentil salad with roasted sweet potato, green asparagus, avocado, tomatoes and crunchy cashews, finished with a simple honey mustard dressing. Fresh, nourishing and perfect for days when you want something healthy that still feels comforting.
Easy fluffy vegetable omelette with spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes, perfect for using leftover vegetables and making a quick healthy meal.
Even though it is summer here, sometimes I just feel like a warm nurturing dish. Something that warms my body, gives my face a glow and, as a bonus, is full of all the right nutrients.
Bam! Switching all my carbs to wholegrain/wholewheat, so wanted to try a poke bowl with brown rice instead of sushi rice. And thank god, it does not disappoint, too much :-), and I feel very fulfilled. For the salmon skin lovers like me, bake it (salted) in the oven on […]
Inspired by one of my favorite restaurants in Amsterdam North, Pllek. I would move mountains to make some time to go get their mackerel salad or sandwich. This is my attempt to mimic the salad and its not disappointing! I forgot about fennel…., but now its back and tastier then […]
Hello you, My name is Peggy and this is a place where I share recipes, life hazards, philosophical mind spinsels and everything somehow wrapped in a coat of food. Because I find that food talks life. I love dishes that are quick, nourishing, pretty, made with love and sometimes a little bit messy. Real food for real life.
