Plant based or animal protein A while ago I attended a dinner where there were a lot of speakers that discussed the topic of animal protein versus plant based protein. The problem with animal protein is that we use too much of it. More...
Flax seed crackers When I wrote about snacking not being so good for you, I promised I would share the recipe for these delicious and simple flax seed crackers. I ate them the first time for a shoot for a book by William Cortvriendt,...
Eat six small meals a day.. Can you still remember that recommendation? The theory behind the snacking ‘diet’ was that you would keep your stove burning all the time. Every time you eat your body has to work to burn of the calories. And...
Is it spring already?? I can’t believe it is March already. Whatever happens to time these days. Is it just me or is it part of getting older, that time just seems to slip away soooo easily! The weather keeps being slightly unpredictable. We...
Vegan “mayonnaise” Officially you cannot call this mayonnaise as there are no eggs in it. Apparently it is a thing… Whatever the name, I was very surprised that this recipe worked so well. I tried making vegan mayo before with soy milk. That worked...

On top of the mountain Let’s start with a disclaimer: I have not (yet) slept here. Sadly so I would say as it is a place out of a fairy tale. I am talking about Vuglec Breg, a unique spot that you can only...
Fish, fish and more fish One of the highlights of our trip to Senegal was the fish market in Mbour. Complete chaos but also with a weird kind of order too. Colorful in any case! If you go to the market in Mbour keep...
Dutch oliebollen I figured I could not leave the year 2017 without giving you the best recipe everrrr for olieballen. It’s a Dutch treat and doesn’t translate all that well. You could call them donuts as that is what it most closely resembles but...
