My dream vacation is a combination of city and nature. So this summer we first spent a week at the Lower East Side, Manhattan. A cool, vibrant neighborhood with boutiques Read more…

Long Island Clams with Herb Butter
Summer Break! After spending the week in Manhattan, it was time for a change of pace, and we decided, as so many New Yorkers do, to settle on Long Island. We occupied a beautifully restored, 200-year old barn on the East End and enjoyed the sandy beaches, gorgeous bays, fertile land and vineyards, upscale beach towns, […] Read more…
Time for a toast!
The very last recipe for our upcoming cookbook has been written, photographed, cooked, checked, and sent to our layout designer. The book is about to be published! A good reason to bring out a toast. Plus it’s almost the 4th of July so all the more reason to fix ourselves a cocktail. No need to […] Read more…

Peach Frozen Yoghurt
More refreshing than the AC: Frozen Yoghurt! It’s extremely hot in DC and when I tried to take pictures of this Peach Frozen Yoghurt outside, it had turned into a sad liquid within 3 minutes. There are five Frozen Yoghurt places in my neighborhood, but I prefer to make it myself using fresh ripe summer […] Read more…
Easy Moroccan Chicken
I’ve been planning on posting this Moroccan recipe for months now, but never got to it. We’re very busy writing our upcoming Kitchen Table Food cookbook, which will be full of recipes inspired by our lives in Berlin and Washington, DC. It will be published this fall in the Netherlands (and hopefully soon in de […] 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…
