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. The bun of the 'Smoske' is first spread with mayonnaise and then topped with vegetables (usually lettuce, tomatoes, sliced carrot and cucumbers) and sliced hard-boiled egg. The…
After working on my brand new blog name, design and logo I'm so relieved to finally have the time again to actually cook and blog! Today's recipe is one I wanted to make for quite a while now as it's inspired by my home country Belgium. We have many national dishes that people would eat throughout the year, and one of them is rabbit and prunes. I have some very…
One of my favourite foods to order in a restaurant used to be pork tenderloin with some lovely potato croquettes. 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.

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…

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…
I spent most of my life being completely unaware of how delicious falafel is, as I only discovered it around 3 years ago. I've been a huge fan ever since but I actually never attempted to make it myself, until last week and I can say for sure I will be doing this at least once a week. It's an ideal lunch during the weekend, it's so quick and you…
One of my favourite dinners to both make and eat is anything with meatballs. Over the years I've come up with so many different types of meatballs as well as sauces, going from plain spaghetti meatballs to a meatball wrap with arrabbiata sauce. It was the first time I made meatballs without using panko breadcrumbs, as I can't eat wheat anymore. Instead I've gone for Rice Krispies. Sounds weird but…
