We’re trying to eat more raw food because apparently the enzymes we need to transport all the nutrition from the food into our bodies die when you cook them. Luckily we’re big salad fans so it won’t be a sacrifice. This is a nice starter or, if you build it a little further, a light [...]

Not yet spring salad
Posted in All, Greens, tagged cabbage salad, winter salad on February 9, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
This horrible wind that has been blowing for the past week is gone and the sun showed her smile in the past two days! The first snowdrops are flowering; how they do it in this cold is a mystery to me. My cat is even losing her hair as if to show me that a [...]
Beetroot salad with yogurt dressing

Roasted beets have a wonderful sweet and earthy flavor; but if you end up with a pair of cooked beets of which most of the flavor is flushed away with the cooking water, there is still hope. Naturally roasted beets have my preference but I managed to make a very tasty salad with the cooked [...]
Portobello stuffed with Taleggio
Posted in All, Greens, tagged meat replacement, portobello, taleggio on August 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I made stuffed Portobello in all kind of variations but I prefer this simple version above all others. This is a main course by itself and you don’t miss the meat, you can eat it with salad, polenta, potatoes, pasta, rice or whatever you prefer. A good substitute if you want to introduce another meatless [...]
Garden Pea Zucchini Salad

And yes, as promised a new Indian recipe, slightly modified so I could use the zucchini in my fridge that had to be eaten at that moment. This is such a light recipe and even though you use quite some spices, the taste of the vegetables is still very present. It’s a perfect summer side [...]
Broccoli Curry

I took a new book from the library about Indian food. I love this kitchen but still did not dive into it. Maybe this book will give me the push I need. It writes about making paneer, your own spice mixtures and it has beautiful pictures. It’s not a very sophisticated way to choose a [...]

With my new jobs in the kitchen I learn a lot but I also have less time to experiment at home. When I come home at night I eat something light and easy before giving my feet a rest and go to bed But yesterday I did have one of those nice nights in my [...]
Avocado Goat Cheese Salad

Another summer salad because the warm weather is still with us… hoera! I read so many good things about avocado in a book about food as a medicine that I decided to buy a few in the market even though I’m the only one eating it in the house. And maybe that’s not a bad [...]
fresh Apricot and Leaf Lettuce

It is summer in Holland, this year that means 30c. with an occasional thunder storm. Our houseboat heats up to tropical temperatures due to the flat black roof and that makes cooking a sweaty experience. Time to come up with some variations to our usual salad because that’s what we are eating mostly lately. My [...]
