Yesterday I wanted to make something nice to eat for Marion and me, but without standing for more then a hour in the kitchen. And of course, there are more then enough options for that. As I really like some good meat, I did go for some very nice tenderloins… I baked the tenderloins for…

That hurted….
This afternoon I was working on the sauce that would go along with pearl hen that we would eat during our Christmas dinner. Of course I used as much as possible fresh ingredients. One of these ingredients was red pepper, the really spicy kind of red pepper. I used just a little and cut it…
Ostrich steak
Marion and I had planned a long relaxed weekend with lots of doing nothing. But sadly the weekend was very short for both of us. Due the bad weather Marion arrived here in Heemskerk begin of the Saturday afternoon and will have to leave again early in the evening of Sunday. Not exactly the way…
Baked Tilapia
Last year around this time I started something. Every time I cooked something nice and I liked it, I made a blog post about it. Somewhere along the road I stopped doing that, which was a pity. Maybe the thing of last week with the recipe book of my mother made me think about that…
