Apple cardamom cake

It must have been somewhere around November or so that I was contacted by Sabina Posthumus who asked if I wanted to help in making her cookbook. She explained the concept of the book and I was immediately enthusiastic. You see, one of my favorite markets in the Netherlands is the Beverwijk Bazaar and then more specifically the ‘Oosterse markt” (eastern market) For a foodie that is a true paradise; beautiful produce, all the spices in the world, dried fruits, nuts… you name it and it is there.

Fig gorgonzola tart

I know it is technically not the season for figs but you can always save this recipe for future use and hey, it might be fig season anywhere else in the world right? Plus it is ALWAYS gorgonzola season as far as I am concerned… More then that this delicious tart is just about perfect for an appetizer or with a salad it could very well serve as an entire meal. Or… you could start your meal with this and then finish with that delicious strawberry tiramisu…

Strawberry tiramisu

Tiramisu that is making you long for a good long and hot summer!

I feel like it’s been way too long since I posted a proper recipe here… So time for something summery and truly delicious. Strawberry tiramisu..!
So far summer or spring rather has been erratic. Warm days mixed with cold and rainy. Unfortunately at the moment we are at the latter of the two, with today being quite miserable. If you haven’t seen it or heard about it yet on Facebook or twitter or on Scribbles and notes…

I am late…. Very, very late… in posting the winner of the Spring challenge! That doesn’t mean we are loving this gorgeous image by Soma any less though.. This image breaths Spring season for me. Lovely strawberries and the human element in this image really makes it special for me. And apparently also for the other judges so Soma congratulations on the winning image!

Port… Ruby or Tawny?

Simone — Tue, 07 May 2013 16:00:34 +0000

I gotta be honest here…. I know (I knew!) virtually nothing about port wines so when I got the invitation from Oscar Quevedo to join a group of select wine bloggers for a tour of Porto, the Douro valley and their wineries I send him a note first asking if he was sure he had the right person. But he confirmed that yes, he did and if I wanted to come. Obviously I said yes and was quite eager to learn something more about port and how it is made….

My true favorite was the 20 yr old Tawny….

I met two of the other bloggers already at schiphol airport; Bart from wijn-blog en Mariella van wijnkronieken. Both – you guessed it – are wine bloggers…. The fourth member of the team was Irene who flew in from Rome and whom we met in Porto.
