Beautiful Netherlands

Boerenkool

Holland!

More precisely: Brabant.

Trappist (with and without) together with Ellen and Christiaan.

Boerenbordje.

We are preparing ourselves to go to the Netherlands.

Pancakes!

... with Ethiopian beef "stew". We doubled the amount of spices --- not recommended; this is a great recipe (if you follow it).

When Ghillie says "tofu"...

we ask "how high?". And serve it with a nice... cava.

A simple pasta

Just add parsley, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and pine nuts, and it's done.

Kebab and roasted red pepper salad

It was SO good again.


Also, this time we had a non-candy like wine which was a bit astringent and acidic on its own, but actually kind of worked with the food.

Another trifecta

We tried to be careful about our food-wine pairing again, and paired the Italian veal liver with risotto and spinach with ... a nice Chianti.

Lesson 1 in food-wine pairing is to pair food from a certain region with wine from that region, and we have clearly not really progressed far into our food-wine pairing adventures.

Recyclin'

Somehow, the smoked turkey didn't really work in our pasta with grilled zucchini, lime and basil. Oh well, can't win 'm all.

Anke likes cherries

Tea-roasted old veal and warm eggplant butternut squash salad

The recipe called for veal, and we do not discriminate on age.

We should though.

We're back!!

We are very sad to say that b.t. has left the building. So sad in fact that we haven't posted for over 2 weeks. We did eat though.

This is what we had on Nov 24 after having said goodbye to b.t.

Frans turned his grief into some pretty tasty ratatouille:
