Cupcakes!
Today we had a small but absolutely fun and great tasting Cupcake Exchange Meetup. Members brought there own cupcakes and wow they were awesome! I planned to make some caramel filled cupcakes but unfortunately this kitchen princess turns into a dragon when it comes to preparing caramel. It’s a matter of hit and miss. A […]

Ready Steady Go!
I love watching Jamie Oliver cook. It’s funny how he uses his whole body while he is prepping food. When I was still teaching cooking classes to teenagers, my first lesson was about preparing you self for cooking. Basic things such as washing your hands, take off jewelry, yes, also all your 20 rings :), […]

Jamie’s Spinach Feta Pie
This is a recipe from Jamie Oliver’s 30 minute recipes. I love the way it’s first baked on the stove top in a frying pan.

David’s Vino
As I’m typing this, the sunshine is streaming in through the window and though spring technically began on the 20th of March, it is only now that I’m finding it overly difficult to ignore that feeling of warmth and vigor it generates. Easter is nearly upon us and with it, brings a time of renewal, […]

Lunch Salads
Nice lunch salad! At one of our girl’s day out, we had a lunch at Moxi’s. Both my oldest daughter and me are watching our weight and so, instead of a sandwich or pasta bowl, we tried out a salad. I am not sure if it really was so much “less calories” but it definitely […]

100 year Oreo’s! Oreo Cupcakes
This year we celebrate the hundred year anniversary of the Oreo Cookie. This cookie was first made by National Biscuit Company (NaBisCo) in 1912. No one seems to know where the name Oreo comes from, some people say it comes from “or” which means gold in French. But where ever it got its name from […]

Home made Nutella
I love copying things, it is such great fun to find a recipe that looks like, and tastes like (or even better) then the product you find on the grocery shelves. This weekend I made a batch (1 liter) of home made Nutella.
Time for Chocolate
We love chocolate! To be honest, I don’t know a lot of people who don’t. But when you add some saltiness and a bit of tangyness, it becomes the best thing I ever ate, by far! It’s a bit of a job, but it’s fun and the result is not only really tasty but also […]

NOtaBLE’s Stilton Cheese Cake
About a year ago we (Culinary Calgary) visited NOtaBLE in the Bowness area. Wow! That was absolutely one of the best food I ever ate. We had a beautiful salad with Gouda cheese as a starter. I love cheese and of course as a Dutchie I love my Gouda. This was a Sylvan star Gouda […]

Buttertarts
I was so surprised when I found out that there is hardly any butter in buttertarts! In The Netherlands we have buttertart that has plenty of butter in it, hence the name buttertart. But I love these little tarts, I love the coconut in there, the raisins, this is one the yummiest treats and a […]
Classic Potato Gratin
At our French themed Potluck party last weekend I made a really yummie gratin. I loved how easy it was. Cooking the potatoes, shortly, in the cream with the garlic added just that extra bit of taste. I used Gruyere, one of my favourite cheeses, for this one!
Lobster Macaroni and Cheese
Bored with Mac and Cheese? Too many KD in your past? Try this one! One of my favourite recipes comes from one of my favourite tv chefs Michael Smith. It is a great combination of crab, (or lobster) and cheese, with a lovely hint of cayenne and paprika. Yummy, sooo good. The fun with Mac […]
