Not much of a restaurant when you look at it from the outside, is it? Well perception can be deceitful. Actually it is very much of a restaurant, and a really great one on top of it.
The story so far
Viva M’Boma. Confused? So were we. Meaning ‘vive la grandmere’ (long live the grandmother) in bruxellois, [...]

Brunch. Probably my favorite part of the day … weekend to be precise. I would be a lady who brunches. That much is for sure. Of course reality bites, so I am very much a lady who works, has a quick lunch, and then back to work. On the other hand weekends are entirely dedicated [...]

A good cause. And it’s all about recettes pink en francais. So girly, and also such a great initative. Every down load is worth 1,00 euro, so get clicking and cooking.

Isn’t autumn just the best season? The colours. The mild sunshine. The richness at the farmers market: vegetables and fruit in their full glory. A pleasure for the eyes, for the taste buds, less for the waist lines (hello stews - bye, bye waist line!). Anyway …

I could easily just leave it at that, and let the photo talk. Creamy polenta, wild mushrooms and Parmesan shavings. But I simply have to tell you how wonderful and comforting this dish was.
How did it all start? Well I am currently going through my pile of magazines, which due to work and a lot [...]

Somewhere, sometimes I have mentioned we have a lot of pears going on at the moment. Sort of a peary month for us. I also asked a while ago for inspiration what to do with so many pears? The great thing about the food blogosphere: everyone has a suggestion! We opted for a proximity one [...]

I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later: starred chefs making starred chocolate. 9 chefs, 9 different Neuhaus chocolates, celebrating 150 years of Neuhaus. Rain of Stars. I love the idea.

A recent and very pleasant discovery is Amfora. Set in a side street you always somehow pass by but never actually take, Amfora is a recently opened wine bar in Brussels. I eyed it for a while (the wine bar effect I guess) but we never actually made it there. Till recently, when after a [...]
