Cooking freak and tea time sweets

Cooking freak and tea time sweets
I love throwing parties! My mediterranean side is deeply dominant in that matter. Problem is: I always overdo it and end up spending my time in the kitchen, or serving people. Before I notice the evening is gone and I haven't taken the time to sip one...

Live from "L'autre pays du fromage"
I am a french girl living in the Netherlands, a country we familiarly call "l'autre pays du fromage" in france (no, we french are not food oriented chauvinists...). My diploma in hand, I have deserted my country more than five years ago now, full of ambitions...

Under the sun, at last!

Under the sun, at last!
Sun in the netherlands is something you should not fail to enjoy... as it will not always be there! For the last 10 days, it has been sunny and warm and I did enjoy it, hence the lack of posts on this blog. The thermometer generously exceeding the twenties,...

Awakening...
Spring is in the air! I am slowly awakening from my hybernation. For months I have dreamt of this blog, but the mood wasn't there. Maybe it was too cold, or too dark... Maybe I was just being lazy... Anyway, here I am! With my kitchen diaries I wish to...

I love squids... but would you clean them for me?
Last saturday, 2. p.m, at the crowded local market: I am standing exhausted among the fish stalls, my shoulders hurt from all the bags I'm carrying. I have everything I need for a whole week of fresh season vegetables and fruits. Unfortunately, the asperges...

Morrocan style mackerel!
Smoked mackerel is one of the food delicacies in holland. Often, on "fish days" at our cantine (wednesday) I treat myself with a Mackerel broodje*... The last time I was at the market, I realised that I had never tried cooking fresh mackerel. I decided...

"Blog appetit" or how to become a foodblog addict (EN)
As promised: a translation of my contribution to Blog appetit (I have tried without much success to make it a bit more concise than the french version, because frankly... I talk too much!) As I acknowledged to my french readers, I have a secret: the "...

Somewhere between Morocco and Portugal!

Somewhere between Morocco and Portugal!
Unfortunately, as I speak, I'm not on a cruise somewhere around the strait of Gibraltar. This post is not about geography, but once again about food! As if you had still any doubts about that. More precisely, it is about my latest culinary experiment:...

Blog appetit #9: Tartelettes croustillantes aux sardines et tomates confites
Today is the latest "Blog appetit" contest in the french culinary blogweb. This edition's ingredients will probably seem less startling than the strawberries and asperges from the last edition (I had a lot of fun with them though ), but they are worth...

Summer dreams

Summer dreams
Yes, I know... summer is long gone in the netherlands (if it ever came at all). Just stopped in town today after work to buy myself a new and warmer jacket 'cause I was freezing and blessed god for my heater thermostat when I came home. Not that the weather...

The '1001 nights' breakfasts of my childhood (1)
Moroccan pancakes have the taste of my childhood. It tastes of my summer holidays in moroccan paradise, at my lovely aunt Mina, my mum's little sister. The whole summer, she would spoil us like kings... Her modest house was our palace. That's me, a long...
