    • Busy Sunday over here. @actuallybogdan whipped up this super tasty eggplant and fennel Bolognese 👌. Meanwhile I found some time to paint this new diy photography backdrop between spending most of the day working from home. Busy week ahead - I'm off to Prague for work on Wednesday and though I'll be mostly working between landing and leaving on Sunday, I will try to find some time to see the sights and of course to eat! (At least one meal anyway 😛) So any recos? If you could only eat one meal in Prague what and where would you eat? . . . . . . . . . . #hautecuisines #dinner_time #food52gram #food52 #feedfeed #feedfeedathome #pastamania #pasta #pastapasta #eeeats #eeeatstagram #foodstagram #picoftheday #yummy #cooking #inmykitchen #foodphotography #onmytable #huffposttaste #thatsdarling #darlingweekend #eeeats #eeeatstagram #sundaydinner #sundaydinnergoals #foodglooby #gloobyfood #foodgawker #foodgasm #stilllifephotos #stilllifegallery #stilllife_mood
    • Another naughty dinner. Lamb chipolata, onion, garlic, tomato cream sauce, and basil over tagliatelle. It's baby Friday y'all. . . . . . . . . #hautecuisines #dinner_time #weeknightdinner #weeknightdinners #weeknightdinnerideas #weeknightdinnercookbook #weeknightdinnersmadeasy #weeknightdinnerathome #weeknightdinnerclub #weeknightdinnerdish #weeknightdinneridea #weeknightdinnerspecials #food52gram #food52 #feedfeed #feedfeedathome #pastamania #pasta #pastapasta #eeeats #eeeatstagram #foodstagram #picoftheday #yummy #cooking #inmykitchen #foodphotography #onmytable #huffposttaste
    • In the midst of another busy week. Had no idea what to make for dinner tonight with random odds and ends - but then remembered the leftover puff pastry (purchased for a party and never used) and decided on a tomato and goat cheese galette. A little decadent for a Wednesday but just 15 minutes in the kitchen so I'll take it - and it's especially fitting for this very fall-like weather we're having in Amsterdam. What summer? Hope everyone's having a good week. . . . . . . #hautecuisines #dinner_time #weeknightdinner #weeknightdinners #weeknightdinnerideas #weeknightdinnercookbook #weeknightdinnersmadeasy #weeknightdinnerathome #weeknightdinnerclub #weeknightdinnerdish #weeknightdinneridea #weeknightdinnerspecials #food52gram #food52 #feedfeed #feedfeedathome #pastamania #stroganoff #stroganoffrecipe #stroganoffpasta #eeeats #eeeatstagram #foodstagram #picoftheday #yummy #cooking #inmykitchen #foodphotography #onmytable #huffposttaste
    • Feeling a little Canadian this weekend in Amsterdam with Romanian, Dutch and Turkish marshmallow friends. Thank you for a lovely camping dinner @meandreea #weekendvibes #sundayfunday
    • When we visited Toronto over the winter my lovely friends @samanthaa_xox and @saminibox put together a Christmas Canada themed care package for us (thanks again guys ❤️)- it was, they admitted, a way to lure us back to Canada with memories of Canadian treats. This Canadian made whisky barrel aged maple syrup by @kinsipspirits was one of the treasures inside. Today we finally opened it. Served over a classic french toast bake with a dollop of creamy mascarpone and (not pictured) a side of bacon. It really does smell and taste like whisky! The combination of smokey whisky notes mixed in with caramel and maple is both comforting and luxurious, homey and decadent. If you like either whisky or maple syrup (or even better if you like both) you have to try this. I only hope I can get it in the Netherlands...or maybe we'll just have to move back to Toronto 😜 Happy Sunday all! . . . . . . . . . . . . #f52grams #feedfeed #dutchbaby #yahoofood #huffpotaste #buzzfeast #buzzfeedfood #foodgawker #tastingtable #gloobyfood #thekitchn #heresmyfood #hautecuisines #onthetable #rslove #sundaybrunch #foodiesofinstagram #foodiegram #foodielife #foodforfoodies #beautifulcuisines #onmytable #inthekitchen #inmykitchen #mykitchen #eeeeats #cookmagazine #thatsdarling #brunch #foodphotography
    • Busy mid week hustle. Even though the sun sets well past 10, lately it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day to do everything I need to do. Workweek dinners are a special challenge. I often feel like being in the kitchen even on weeknights, but sometimes (like tonight) I want to get out of there as soon as I can. This penne primavera with cambozola, black pepper and fresh basil was ready in 15 minutes. It's sweet and creamy meets peppery with the faintest hint of musk from the blue. A worthy payoff for 15 minutes in the kitchen. . . . . . @lecreuset #hautecuisines #dinner_time #weeknightdinner #weeknightdinners #weeknightdinnerideas #weeknightdinnercookbook #weeknightdinnersmadeasy #weeknightdinnerathome #weeknightdinnerclub #weeknightdinnerdish #weeknightdinneridea #weeknightdinnerspecials #food52gram #food52 #feedfeed #feedfeedathome #pastamania #stroganoff #stroganoffrecipe #stroganoffpasta #eeeats #eeeatstagram #foodstagram #picoftheday #yummy #cooking #inmykitchen #foodphotography #onmytable #huffposttaste
    • We had a long weekend in the Netherlands (last one until Christmas 😭) but of course it went too fast. So today felt like Monday and Monday dinner called for this spicy curried cod stew with tons of veggies and basmati. Poaching fish in aromatic sauce keeps the fish soft and infuses it with flavour. I need more fish stews in my life... . . . . . . #dinner #dinner_time #weeknightdinner #weeknightdinnerideas #weeknightdinners #weeknightdinnercookbook #weeknightdinnersmadeasy #weeknightdinnerathome #weeknightdinneridea #weeknightmeals #dinnerideas #dinnerinspo #heresmyfood #homecooking #recipe #curry #dinnerisserved #whatsfordinner #goodeats #yougottaeatthis #forkyeah #eatstagram #dinnertime #homemade #vegetables #easyrecipes #foodoftheday #cooking #feedfeed #eeeeeats

    • It's a gloomy and lazy Saturday over here so I'm in the kitchen. A few weeks ago we had a bbq and stocked up on something like 7 packages of premade puff pastry for quick and easy appetizers. Well we didn't get to it and so I'm left with a lot of puff pastry in the fridge (what a problem to have) and looking for ways to use it. So here's some super simple pain au chocolat. Just puff pastry, chopped chocolate inside, trifold it like a little envelope and bake. The egg wash, almond slivers and powdered sugar are just bonus. So easy and so good. Hope everyone's having a good Saturday. . . . . . #baking #lifeandthyme #onthetable #beautifulcuisines #feedfeed #huffposttaste #eeeeeats #eattheworld #onmytable #hautecuisines #passionpassport #foodphotography #foodstyling #flatlay #heresmyfood #buzzfeast #thefeedfeed #foodgawker #gloobyfood #foodlover #buzzfeedfood #foodiegram #painauchocolat #puffpastry #baking #weekendbaking
