I recently bought the great new cookbook of Gwyneth Paltrow, (yes, she is a cookbook author, I didn't know that either) which just amazes me with beautiful pictures and incredibly simple but tasty recipes...
There are no pastry fillers in these bad boys, no sugar, just the raw whole ingredients and, believe it or not, they are yummy… slightly chewy and everything...
The combination with fresh spinach, arugula and homemade pesto is great...
I have been busy wrapping! Veggies that is... It was so good and easy, I tried out new things all week. You can use lettuce, green collards, green cabbage, mustard green or nori: it all works perfect. The wrapping takes some practice - and I am far from perfection - but as long as you can roll it up, who cares what it looks like, right?
I found a recipe with sweet red onions, fresh dill, tarragon, oil and wine vinegar. It was so good, he seriously grabbed it out of my hands. Pure and simple. It was the best!
Thursdays are long for me. I don't doubt that I'm alone in this. I'm ready for the weekend. Ready for some laziness and hopefully, some sunshine. I wanted something easy and full of flavor to get me through Friday. A fresh chicken curry was calling...
I think I had this piece of paper sticked to my fridge for about 6 or 7 months, before I actually decided to give it a try. I teared it out of my weekend edition newspaper, somewhere on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, just because I loved the combination of colors, not realising it was actually a recipe, or no, better: a veggie recipe!
Party food often equals junk food, but it really doesn't have to be that way...
In the beginning of January I went for the first time to Cape Town South Africa, for three months of modeling in this gorgeous city. I felt immediately at home. Such nice people, stunning nature, the best food ever and work was amazing for me...
Finally! The asparagus season has started officially, which means we can cook, grill, chop, steam or mix these green or white fellows, until the 24th of June. And despite the fact we'll still be able to buy them off season, that just won't be as much fun...
