I am a big fan of puff pastry, because you can really do all kinds of things with it. Use it as a base for delicious sweet and savory dishes which you can put on the table in no time! For this recipe I used creamy goat cheese, flakey puff pastry and in combination with the sweetness of the dates you get a nice contrasting flavour. Put this easy snack on the table soon and thank me later!

Again, I had a Mozzarella lingering in my fridge and decided to make some Mozzarella Waffles or the trend of 2019 “Chaffles”. This recipe can be made with 3 ingredients only, but I wouldn’t be called The Spiced Chickpea if I didn’t add any more spices. They are also Keto and gluten-free, and no am not on a diet, I just like to try new things and I hope you too! ;-)

I'm sharing these crunchy crostini’s today to get in the mood for those sultry Summer evenings! So, get inspired by this vegetarian dish that is delicious as a snack or as a starter and fits perfectly with any menu!

Take a grilled cheese sandwich, add sautéed chestnut mushrooms and Truffle Tapenade what will you have then? Well ladies & gents, the most the delicious grilled cheese sandwich of your life! That is if you adore truffles (fake or real) like I do. So, truffle fans head over to the recipe and make this deluxe sandwich soon!

So, this year I wanted to come up with a million recipes for your Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, a lot happened and with lockdown No.3 whilst dealing with other stuff, I didn’t have time to work on as many recipes as I wanted. However, I did make a Christmas dinner for two (greedy persons ;-) consisting of a Chicken Roll stuffed with Cranberry Compote & Brie, Sweet Potato and Garlic Galette and Roasted Purple Brussel Sprouts. I shared this lovely meal with my two neighbours, who have become my good friends during this Pandemic. I guess, that’s the bright side of this whole drama; that we get to connect and reconnect with others and ourselves.

This is Christmas in a Chicken Roll! It’s an ultimate stunner at your dinner and not hard to make at all. The sour cranberry compote works really well with the creamy cheese and the spices bring the whole dish together. Use the leftover juices to make a sauce by adding a little bit of butter and stock to the pan.

I love eating wraps for lunch. And when I do, I love to stuff them with grilled veggies, Halloumi and hummus. But I often I end up with a stale or old store-bought packet of wraps which are lingering in my fridge because I couldn’t finish them all. So, what to do then? Well, make your own homemade flatbread for one person...duhhh Here’s how I did!

Back in my student days I used to eat this sandwich a lot at a cute little place in Leiden, my Alma Mater. It was such a new thing to me: a grilled Brie cheese sandwich with chicken, onions and pine nuts. I couldn't imagine that so many years later I'd still eat this. It's that good!
