This is a quick and healthy recipe for the weekdays. Aside from some grating, you’ll only need one pan. The recipe contains two types of vegetables, healthy fish and fruit. I bought some smoked trout over the weekend, with the intention to have it for brunch on Sunday, but I forgot we had it. I…

Sea bass and turmeric potatoes in rasam broth, by Yotam Ottolenghi and Ramael Scully
I tried another recipe from cookbook Nopi today: a delicious sea bass recipe inspired by South Indian cuisine, bathing in a beautiful and tangy rasam broth, a soup eaten in South India that is traditionally prepared with tamarind (a sweet and sour pod-like fruit). The recipe does require some ingredients for which you would need…
Kerala fish fry & Cabbage Thoran
I fell in love with Keralan cuisine when we visited India 2 years ago. In this recipe I try to recreate my memory of some of the most wonderful dishes we have had in Kerala. Unfortunately you cannot enjoy the Kerala experience in Indian restaurants in NL, but hopefully, with these easy recipes, you can…
Vietnamese Prawn Skewers with Lemongrass
Vietnamese prawn skewers are an impressive dish to serve, and they are deceptively easy to make. Prawn skewers are low in fat and fun to serve as finger food at dinner parties. However, you could just as easily transform them into a complete dinner by combining them with some rice noodles, generous amounts of mint…
Nobuyuki Matsuhisa’s New Style Sashimi
I discovered new style sashimi when we were eating out at Ichi-e in Amsterdam before going to the movies. New Style Sashimi has all the elements I am looking for in a great dish: fresh products, notes of sour, heat and salt and it is visually stunning. New Style Sashimi is so subtle and delicious,…
Farinata with Confit Tomatoes and Cavolo Nero
You are going to fall in love with this! Crunchy and nutritious farinata, a chickpea flatbread from Liguria, Italy, perfumed with rosemary and caramelized onions. I have combined the farinata with Ottolenghi’s tangy cavolo nero (a type of cabbage) and confit tomatoes. I discovered farinata last year. I had a whole pack of besan (chickpea…
Detox before X-mas: Fennel, Celery, Pear & Cucumber Juice
Detoxing before Christmas, what? why? Usually people start detoxing & well… de-everythinging after Christmas. But the December month is so full of treats and parties that I felt completely out of balance before Christmas even started. In The Netherlands the festive season starts early with Sinterklaas on the 5th of December. I can’t tell you…
Chicken with Walnuts and Pomegranate
This is a Persian recipe called Khoresh Fesenjan. Admittedly, it is not the prettiest sight, but it is low effort, healthy and very tasty. I discovered this recipe about 2 years ago, as I was changing jobs. As part of my goodbye, my colleagues bought me all sorts of food stuff (knowing the foodie I am)….
Vegetable Curry with Brown Rice
This is a no guilt, yummie and healthy recipe that you can get on the table within 30 minutes. It contains three types of vegetables, creamy coconut milk and a hint of lime. We still had some leftover curry paste in the freezer that we used for the Malaysian Laksa. When I make my own…
Rainbow Carrots with Coriander Seeds and Maple Glaze
I noticed a pack of rainbow carrots in the vegetable isle of our local supermarket today. They looked so pretty and I could already hear them calling out my name. Of course I needed to buy them. Carrots are a delicately sweet vegetable and I wanted to prepare them in a way that brings out…
