Maple Syrup Granola

Every weekend, I make a large batch of this granola. Can’t do without it, because together with fruit and yoghurt it’s my start of the day. With strained yogurt, which we call ‘hangop’ in Dutch, literally ‘to hang up’, it’s even more of a treat. This creamy rich yogurt is an old-fashioned Dutch dessert, but […] Read more…

Biscuits with Avocado & Egg

Last summer, we spent a couple of days of our vacation in Brooklyn, New York. We had breakfast at this very nice place, Café Madeline. I had these biscuits (also called scones) with avocado and egg. They were delicious which is why I decided to make them for our Sunday morning breakfast and the blog. […] Read more…

Rose-hip jam

I live about ten minutes away from the beach, where we go very often in the summer. To get to the beach, you have to walk through the dunes, where there are a lot of rose-hip plants blooming this time of year. I’ve always wanted to try making rose-hip jam so this year, I gave […] Read more…

Breakfast Burritos

The concept of ‘Breakfast All Day’ finally gets some attention in the Netherlands as well. And rightly so! I mean, what’s wrong with eating fried eggs with bacon and potatoes for dinner? Or having burritos for breakfast? When it comes to breakfast I’ve never been ‘the coffee with a croissant type’. It leaves me unsatisfied […] Read more…

Sunshine Smoothie

Hello, sunshine! Yesterday we prepared almond cashew milk and today we make this sunny smoothie with mango, fresh ginger root, and turmeric with it. Ginger root and turmeric add extra flavor and some spiciness to the drink, plus these roots are also good when you want to save yourself from an upcoming cold. Something you […] Read more…

Vegan Bircher Muesli

One of my favorite breakfast recipes from our cookbook is this Vegan Bircher Muesli. It’s slightly different from another recipe for Bircher Muesli I shared on the blog before but just as good, creamy and healthy. And yes, vegan. Read more…

Compote: A Different Kind of Jam

My first couple of years in Berlin, I happily joined the jam-making madness. In spring and summer, when the fruit is cheap and almost overripe, the markets are crowded. You will see people buying way too much fruit and I bet you: about to make way too much jam for the rest of the year. Read more…

Scones with Cranberries & Cherries

When I was young, Easter wasn’t complete without matzos with butter, sugar and garden cress – something I still eat around this time of year. In Berlin, the stores and bakeries are filled with chocolate eggs and bunny shaped bread rolls as of early February. Whoever celebrates Easter with a brunch, can’t go without lots […] Read more…

Avocado Toast & Poached Egg

Which restaurant doesn’t serve it, Avocado Toast? Both Tal and I like to make a quick sandwich of toasted bread and avocado for lunch, but I also like to order them at nice Berlin lunch spots such as Melbourne Canteen, Roamers or Betty’n Caty. Read more…
