- Wonderful Wontons, Delicious Dim Sum, Darling Dumplings – Thanks Denise!So, what's the difference between a won ton, a dim sum and a dumpling? Very, very little although Dim Sim literally means "snack" in Chinese. These snacks are usually served in bite sized portions and eaten almost exclusively with tea. And I am all for them whatever word may be used for them: gyoza, momo, jiaozi or baozi. They are a brilliant […]
- Making cakes for a Fabulously Good Cause: Bidna Capoeira! And a recipe for Manakeesh BreadIt’s been a very, very busy October and we are all getting used to being back at school and work after the long hazy summer holidays. It really was a very warm dry Northern European summer and we all biked to the beach and made the most of the North Sea. But the last week […]

- Food just became more exciting: Agar jellies, Platters of Peppers, Spirit and GimselI haven’t written much for these holiday months, not about food or fiction nor even any questionable poetry. It’s not that I haven’t been cooking, learning or journeying into new foodscapes, it’s just that it takes me sometime to process the experience and decide what to write about. And sometimes I feel rather bored […]
- Summertime and the Vegans are Easy, Inspiring and Quite Delicious!We reflected how it is absolutely possible it is to cater an event in an entirely vegan way using loads of fruit, veggies, and flowers and the punters went mad for it! Everything was gone in a flash!

- Cakes Galore & More…., nothing ventured, nothing gained! We set up Shop in The Hague!I've been writing about food, experimenting with it, developing recipes and sharing food for most all of my life and now I am about to put my muffin so to speak where my mouth is. We, my friend Bintou and I, have a small 2 metre space in a start up venture called The Barbershop & Co in The Hague.
- Brrr, Party Food Fit for Jack Frost – December is (almost) Here!It’s been 3 years now since I starting writing recipes for this Shiny Bright new blog. Three years of experimenting with food, testing it out on family, friends and complete strangers. Three years of cutting back on white sugar, salt and white flour. And many long years learning that ‘home-made’ is in danger of always […]
- More Pumpkins Than You Can Shake a Ghoul at…. and how to bring a glow to a grey dayThank goodness there is a bit of colour in our lives on days such as these, when grey skies are above and the world is damp and chill. Jack and I were entranced by the pumpkin display at Vlinders ann de Vliet in Voorshoten, so we had to stop and take a photo. So […]
- October Already – Birthday warm Fuzzies, Roasted Almond Pesto, Favourite Things, November 9!There was yet another birthday to celebrate in our house (mine!) and this year I invited my friends to cook their current favourite food or bring a tried and tested recipe to afternoon tea. It's so lovely to share beautiful food with wonderful friends! It all ended way too soon for me so I have decided to do the same for next birthday.
