Confession time: I love croquettes, oh my god do I love them! Every time I go to a restaurant and it's an option as a side instead of fries I'll order it, guaranteed. The crunchy outside and the soft mashy inside are just such a joy to eat! Unfortunately for me croquettes are a lot more popular in Belgium/France/The Netherlands than they are here in Ireland and the UK but…
If you've ever been in Belgium, there will surely be one thing you must have noticed: their love of good food! Being Belgian myself I grew up with the best fries, waffles and chocolates to name a few, but I must admit I had never attempted to make waffles myself, never even had a waffle iron/maker! But I finally got one and I just couldn't wait to make my very…
Anyone who's ever lived or visited Belgium, knows that there is one type of lunch we are mad for: 'Smoskes', which is a Flemish term for a roll or a piece of French baguette topped with various types of salads or spreads.

It's not a very common thing here in Ireland though and I haven't eaten it in over 2 years so I decided to just make it at home and to try something I had never done before: butterfly and stuff the pork myself. I ended up filming it as well, to…
Rhubarb season is still in full swing and judging by the empty boxes in the shops and markets, it's very popular this year! I've made quite a few rhubarb recipes in the past already, like Rhubarb - Strawberry jam, Rhubarb Oatmeal Cookies, Rhubarb - Strawberry - Mint Limenade and Rhubarb - Plum tart but this time I decided to pair it up with raspberry for that lovely sweet…
Last week I shared my first recipe of basic homemade falafel, but one of the things I served it with was another new recipe: avocado hummus! I'm an absolute sucker for hummus but I wanted to try something new, and decided to try it with avocado's, another one of my favourite things to eat. It might not be very traditional, but hey I'm all for pushing boundaries! You do need…
