Right around that peak of the holiday madness of running around cleaning, shopping and meeting up with so many people you might be feeling like I am right now.. as if an unwelcome cold or flu is coming to say Hi. Well, I prefer telling it Goodbye before it even hits my doorstep. So before … Continue reading Lemon Ginger Curcuma Shots
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

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
Quinoa Cauliflower Burgers
The original recipe was actually given to me by a friend who made a vegan version. I wasn’t very patient in mashing the ingredients properly together, so I added two eggs to make the burgers less falling-apart-ish. Also the original has less seasoning and ingredients and instead of cauliflower it has courgette. But ok, this … Continue reading Quinoa Cauliflower Burgers
