A warm salmon poke bowl with brown rice, crisp vegetables, avocado, edamame and a punchy miso marinade. Topped with sesame, spring onion and either crispy salmon skin or nori, it’s fresh, satisfying and easy to make for lunch or dinner. Bam! Switching all my carbs to wholegrain/wholewheat, so wanted to […]
Inspired by one of my favourite restaurants in Amsterdam North, Pllek. This special place really is a little gem. Built from old shipping containers, with a huge glass front overlooking the IJ, a little city beach and that raw NDSM feeling around it, it somehow feels like you’ve escaped Amsterdam […]
Fast and delicious, this super easy-to-make lentil salad with roasted fennel has been one of my go-to salads for years. Lentils bring a useful boost of plant protein and fibre, while roasted fennel and red chilli add sweetness, crunch and a little kick. It’s always good to keep a few […]
Easy breezy fast lunch. This halloumi wrap, or a version of this, is my goto ‘i have little time, but do not want to eat a sandwich’ lunch. Halloumi, it is not for everybody, but it is for me. And wraps…, wraps is my religion, wraps is my sandwich. This […]
Yes you are busy, working on the computer, deadlines, and want to grab a quick bite. Forget that quick sandwich, instead go for a quick & easy vegetable bowl. Grabbing something done is easy, but this takes only ten minutes longer, will taste way better and will also make you […]
I love wraps, salad wraps, corn wraps, vegetable wraps, halloumi wraps, salmon avocado wraps, what ever the.. wraps. 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 […]
This is variation on the classic Indonesian vegetable dish, so a modern gado gado, which literally means ‘Mix Mix’ and is a very easy quick to make meal. I have been introduced to Indonesian food in my early childhood. My friend’s parents owned an Indonesian restaurant, and when I stayed […]
A crunchy cauliflower salad wrap tucked into lettuce or Chinese cabbage leaves, with red onion, chili, herbs, toasted almonds, and tahini dressing. Light, fresh, and quick to make.
A colorful, kinda crazy poke bowl. It was actually an experiment based on a papaya poke bowl, but I could not find Papaya…, hence mango it is. Very tasty and very pleasant to look at!
Sounds exciting right? Ok maybe not, but it is simple, healthy and quite tasty. Soup is becoming a dish that is growing on me. You can make a lot and put in freezer. You can feed lots of people in a short amount of time. Its also quite cheap. Soup […]
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.
