When Belgian bitterness becomes sweet
This recipe always reminds me of my sister. She didn’t like Belgian endive because of the bitterness. Orange braised endive on the other hand is a very tasty dish, inspired by Discover Endive.

Vegi what?!
I got my food mojo back. There, I have said it! It feels liberating. It’s about time for some new ideas and experiments. I started off with some vegi craziness, Gobi Manchurian inspired by Sunshine and Smile.

The world upside down
Sometimes the simplest ideas are often best. Of course the Tarte Tatin is a great example of that, turning your apple tart upside down. I took a spin on that and made some upside down apple cakes, inspired by Wikipedia.

Food is all about senses. Taste and smell are pretty important senses for me. But sometimes I wonder if sight is also important when it comes to food? Sight was also the main reason why I made Chinese tea eggs last week, inspired by Wikipedia

Crunchy inspiration
Always got new inspiration for food. A lot of things can be the trigger. This time it was a new kitchen gadget, a mandoline. A perfect tool for a new DIY project, making potato chips. Inspired by a recipe from The Merlin Menu.

Have a break
Working outside the office has been really busy lately. But it also has it pros. You meet new people, see new places and of course I come across different food. For instance, fresh cherries. I used them for cakes inspired by Muffin tin mania.
