Urban Sardines

Grow your own. Urban vegetables. A garden? In the city? Quite difficult that. But after agreeing that herbs count as vegetables too (as own grown) I was in. Hooked on the idea. GYO. But I’ll let you discover the GYO event on your own.
Back to my very own Brussels ‘garden’ and the couple of herbs we grow. [...]

Street Food at Home

Depending on who I talk to, we are either at the end, spot on in the middle or at the start of the holiday season. In our case, we have not started our holidays. Yet.
Which makes me ask the obvious: what do you look for when booking your holiday?
If you are anything like us, chances [...]

Rustic Pâté

A while ago I bought quite a bit of chicken livers. And I got cooking. Personally, I love chicken livers. There is this thing about people and animal organs: some like them, others would run for miles rather than face one. What always confused me though: people get all squeamish at the sight of chicken [...]

Me x 4

I have been recently tagged for the Fantastic Four meme which has been doing the rounds (more than 4 of it). Sophie, from Mostly Eating passed the 4 meme on to me and three other (food) bloggers. Which actually gave me the chance to discover two new bloggers as well. Sort of your win-win situation. [...]

SlowFood in Brussels

Finally. It took a while, but Slow Food is now to be experienced in Brussels as well. More info. And all animated by one of my favorite Brussels chefs/ foodie, Malika Hamza. So, who is going?

Rustic Anchovies Potatoes

Did we have a busy weekend! How was yours?
Potatoes. I really like potatoes. There is no way around it. That doesn’t mean I don’t like things like pasta, rice etc, but I really like potatoes. In itself they are also quite versatile, be they boiled, roasted, mashed etc. 
Discovering how tasty (and easy) roasted vegetables are, translates in a [...]

Oufff … Courgettes

Oufff, I’m stuffed (hi hi, had to say it)
That’s the little food joke for today. Stuffed courgettes (zucchinis). With summer shyly knocking on the door, and vegetables plenty, I vowed I’ll look away from the traditional. Good bye potatoes, good bye aubergines, hello funny shaped courgettes. I know, I know. They are not funny shaped [...]

Very Belgian – Chimay, Fromage Trappiste

It’s been a while. Another very Belgian product – Chimay, Fromage Trappiste. Chimay as probably many know, is a trappist beer. The whole deal about trappist beers? There are only 6 of them in Belgium, brewed under strict trappist rules,  within the walls of a trappist monastery (I’m not joking, only beers brewed within the walls can call [...]

Decadent Brownies

I am not a brownie baker. I am not a brownie eater. Oh, oh, this all sounds so very wrong, doesn’t it? Let me explain: I have never attempted to cook brownies because … well, because, I love brownies so much I can’t stop eating them once I start. So basically I don’t make brownies, because then I [...]

Main a Sel

My current favorite in the kitchen: main a sel (salt hand). Inside, salt from Bretagne. What is your current favorite kitchen item/ gadget?
