'Twas the season of Ayaka. And this year I finally, finished my own recipe. It's now the fifth year in a row that I'm making these lovelies. But what are these lovelies exactly?

Chlash of The Tostas
As you can see in our beautiful clashing photos here below, this recipe's name couldn't be more perfect. The other half of this wipe-out's name is Chloé, a dear friend of mine. And after one of our surf sessions in Faro we decided to go for a toastie or Tosta in Portuguese. We didn't want … Continue reading Chlash of The Tostas
Banana Pancakes
Do you also prefer eating your bananas slightly or even barely ripe? When a banana is too ripe or very ripe I don't enjoy it as much. And when it's overripe I can't eat it without forcing myself to chew or trying not to think of the gooey texture. So, to not throw them away … Continue reading Banana Pancakes
Papa di Aros (Rice Porridge)

These croquettes were very easy to make and I managed to enjoy them for 3 days. … Continue reading Mackerel Croquettes
Quick & Easy Piccalilli
The first time I made piccalilly, I actually let a friend do most (maybe all) of the work. It had to be made because I wanted it in my Ayaka (a typical Curaçolean Christmas/december dish) and on its side. Then last Christmas I made it again because hey, Ayaka time. And this time I was … Continue reading Quick & Easy Piccalilli
New Year’s Eve Oliebollen
It's the last day of the year and that means Oliebollen! This is a typical Dutch dish and tradition which I have grown fond of. I like mine when they are warm, have a crust and are filled with alcohol soaked raisins. Oh and when they are topped with a tiny mountain of powdered sugar! … Continue reading New Year’s Eve Oliebollen
