Romancing the Stove

As coincidence would have it, I wrote this blogpost about a week before the ‘intelligent lockdown’ (as our Prime Minister has proclaimed it) started. For a while I thought this might not be the right time to post about ‘emergency pasta sauces’ as people are probably sick of that type of food by now but then I figured, why not. It is the epitome of easy to make food, and let’s be honest: even with a sudden overflow of free…

I’m sure everyone is familiar with sundried tomatoes in various salads; pastas; quiches and whatnot, but is it a viable main ingredient for soup? I was wondering this very question as I was holding looking at an opened jar of sundried tomatoes in my fridge. Some things I was certain off: the contents of that jar would go bad if I didn’t use it soon, I really don’t like wasting food, and my usual go-to for incorporating leftovers is making…

It has been years, ages, eons, since my last post. I can apologize but well, life just got in the way. It got too demanding with my studies, internships, minor, thesis-pressure, graduation and now I’ve embarked on a new adventure where I started a management-traineeship so you know: busy as always. However, despite me being ‘busy as always’ I am finally getting some structure in my life. I have an alarm that repeats at the same time every weekday, which…

Oh my sweet potato! And no, this isn’t a cute nickname, although after tasting this, it migt as well be..So let’s talk about food! Now, I know that in january everybody is trying to lose weight, eat healthier etcetera. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some healthy food. Give me a crisp bowl of salad with some vinaigrette, and I’m a happy girl. But, as most people, I also happen to love cream, butter, cheese, and bacon. Don’t lie,…

So, I might be just a little bit late to still jump upon the ‘resolutions’ bandwagon, but I’m gonna do it anyway. My first resolution: find more time to blog about the things I’m passionate about (so, mainly food and wine). My second resolution: stop apoligizing when in fact, I don’t blog at all. It’s not that I don’t want to, but it’s hard to find the time! With that out of the way: let me get you guys up…

One of the things I enjoy doing is reading the supermarket discounts and create dishes with those ingredients. As potatoes and bratwurst where one of the discount offers, I didn’t have to think that hard. I was going to make a stew with sausage in beer, accompanied by potatoes, whether boiled/mashed/baked/au gratin, potatoes it would be. Though apparently the bf is not a big fan of mashed potatoes.. How is that even possible. It’s mashed potatoes, there’s nothing to not…

After a rather busy and hectic school-year/summer, and starting yet another study (in Utrecht this time), I feel almost ashamed to return to my blog after such a long leave of absence.. So much has happened, so much has been cooked (and eaten) and somehow I’ve never been able to find the time to write it down. I am so so so sorry you guys! ‘Nuff said. Bach to the important things in life, like food. First of all, omygosh…
