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.
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 […]

Apple-Cardamom Cake
Today I celebrated my birthday. My children woke me up with the traditional Happy Birthday singing and a breakfast in bed. We recently just discovered a Dutch bakery, Glamorgan Bakery, that makes one of my favourit breads: Sugar Bread. This bread has a wonderful taste with layers of sugar and ginger syrup. So I got […]
Daddy’s Dutch Pancakes
By far the best pancake baker in the house is my husband Gary. Since a couple of years he is assisted by our youngest daughter Rosemary who loves to give her own spin to the old recipe. They come up with great creations such as Cheese Pancakes, Apple/Bacon Pancakes, etc. Just add your own favourite […]
Chicken Pesto Penne
Mom, I need your recipes! My oldest daughter just moved out. Although I still have three kids at home, I miss her a lot. She is not only my daughter but also my sparring partner for new ideas, my right hand (as she is very creative and handy) and now she is growing up she […]

Boerenkool
Stamppot Boerenkool (Boerenkool = Farmer’s Cabbage) is an old fashion traditional Dutch meal. People love their Stamppots in the wintertime after a nice skate on the canals.There are different varieties on this theme, some of them use carrots or sauerkraut. What I like is to add some bacon bits to the Boerenkool. To be very […]
