I'm the type of girl that likes to be busy with eating and drinking áááll day. And I don't mean, "oooh-i-have-a-crazy-craving" or "when is-it-wine-o-clock ?!" No, put me in the kitchen with a pile of fresh products and I'm HAPPY.
It has to be super tasty
Rule number one in my kitchen: tasty comes before healthy.
Infused water - This week I found these massive and small 'Mason' jars at de Blokker here in Amsterdam (10 euros for the large jar + tap, nice!). It's perfect for colorful infused water. I sliced a lot of lemons, limes and oranges: et voila! Didn't drink this much water in ages!
To my opinion, not everything needs to be sugar free, gluten free.... "everything"-free. I guess I'm blessed with being able to eat everything. I believe that when you eat all the 'bad' stuff balanced (+ as clean/pure as possible + enjoy what ever you eat/drink)... the recipe to a stressfree happy foodie life!
Anyhow, some people (more and more ) really need to be careful about what they eat.
When the sun starts to shine, I prefer to start the day with a fresh and healthy smoothie. This is actually the first time I made a smoothie with cucumber. Makes it super fresh. Love it!
I'm a bit hooked on puddings.... Tried my first one years ago with a Christmas dinner. Completely ruined it (only the dessert ;)). Yes, I can say: I have improved!!! This buttermilk panna cotta worked out so nice. And so did this yoghurt pudding... If you want to surprise you guests, this dessert is absolute a must do!!! You can prepare everything, so it won't take much time during the dinner.
This is (so far) one of my favourite Ottolenghi dishes. I have to try many more recipes from his book 'Plenty' (Dutch version) - a fantastic b-day present from Lelle & Len-, but I keep making this one! No wonder. Everybody loves it. Same thing at my housewarming yesterday. Well guys, here is the recipe!
More Ottolenghi recipes on the blog soon.
There we go again, another Yotam recipe :). I love this mix of pumpkin with red union! My dear friend Alex surprised me so much! He gave me this wonderful cookbook 'Jerusalem' a few months ago. Once a friend gave me a cookbook and said: "Sorry I'm giving you such an un-personal present." But it's actually (really?;) something that makes me incredibly happy. Especially 'An Ottolenghi'.
