    • 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

    • I heard it's National Egg Day so it's the perfect opportunity to celebrate amazing eggs with this passion fruit curd I made over the weekend. Tangy fruit custard is my new favourite. I can't wait to find all kinds of ways to use curd. This batch went into a tart. I never knew how easy it was to make creamy, luscious, tangy and beautiful fruit curd. Now I want to try all the flavours. Next on my list is grapefruit, raspberry, and then maybe watermelon lime? Is there anything you can't curd? I'm going to find out. Happy National Egg Day all...may your yolks always be golden. . . . . . . #feedfeed #bakedfeed #thefeedfeed #buzzfeast #foodphotography #bakersofinstagram #foodblogfeed #dessert #thekitchn #vscofood #desserts #thebakingfeed #thebakedfeed #huffposttaste #sweeeeets #foodgawker #beautifulcuisines #dessertlover #pastry #lifeandthyme #hautecuisines #foodstyling #gloobyfood #spoonfeed #tart #thesugarfiles #cheatday #foodfluffer #yahoofood #naturallightphotography
    • Have you ever had a Jamaican patty before? When I was growing up in Toronto you could find patties at every corner store. Now living in Amsterdam they've become a rare treat - last one I had was this past February in Jamaica and it was just as good as I remembered. This weekend I did a ton of research to try to replicate my version of an authentic Jamaican beef patty. It wasn't exactly like the one I had on the beach in February, but it was pretty close 😁 I also made some jerk chicken, rice and peas, and cinnamon grilled pineapple. Jamaican feast complete. Wishing everyone a great Sunday! . . . . . . #sundaydinner #sundaydinnergoals #sundaydinnerrecipes #foodphotography #instafood #foodporn #bbq #bbqchicken #jamaicanfood #caribbeanfood #jerkchicken #islandfood #foodlover #jamaicancuisine #westindianfood #foodgasm #food52 #food52gram #feedfeed #feedfeedbaking #gloobyfood #eeeeeats #instagood #buzzfeast #forkyeah #foodpics #onthetable #foodstagram #huffposttaste #foodandwine

    • This Monday was calling for roast chicken. Made in my new-to-me römertopf clay bakeware that I found at the kitchen thrift store for €5 👌 We ate it with blanched broccolini, roasted red pepper, and creamy buttermilk and tomato polenta. . . . . .#f52grams #feedfeed #thefeedfeed #yahoofood #huffpotaste #buzzfeast #buzzfeedfood #foodgawker #tastingtable #gloobyfood #thekitchn #heresmyfood #hautecuisines #onthetable #rslove #foodiesofinstagram #foodiegram #foodielife #foodforfoodies #beautifulcuisines #onmytable #inthekitchen #inmykitchen #mykitchen #eeeeats #cookmagazine #dinnerisserved #foodphotography #winnerwinnerchickendinner
