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.

Warm salmon poke bowl

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 […]

Mackerel Fennel salad with fried capers

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 […]

Pickeled veggies

Never ever made this before, but now Im a fan. Such a good thing to have in the fridge and add to salads, or Indonesian food or something. You can make it with all kinds of veggies ofcourse, but this simple version is with cauliflower and carrot.

And art puzzles, one of my guilty pleasures, that hardly anyone I know understands. Puzzles.., is that not for retired grandmas with not much to do. Well maybe, but also its something […]

Surviving V day the right way

Sometimes you don’t want to buy yourself the fucking flowers Valentine’s Day… Cupid’s day, a commercial day, probably invented by people who wanted to sell us more stuff and make money. So officially, I don’t care about it that much. But since love is my biggest love, it’s also hard […]
