Orange Chilli Spaghetti
This might seem like a weird combination but it’s more subtle than you would expect. You could even eat the spaghetti just like that without any vegetables.
Read MoreCreamy Mushroom Pasta
The mushrooms get some extra umami with the soy sauce and
fresh parsley finishes this creamy dish. If you want a lot of sauce
you should add a bit more cream.
Sweet Potato Roast
This is a variation on the typical Dutch meal of having potatoes,
veggies and meat. A bit of soy sauce gives the extra umami to
the creamy spinach.
Caribbean Chilli
‘Caribbean Jerk’ is a seasoning mix from Jamaica with interesting combinations. Together with celery, lime and mango it creates a dish full of flavour.
Read MoreLazy Tortellini
As a teenager, the only thing I could make for dinner was tortellini with ready-made tomato sauce. This is a homage
to that time, upgraded for more taste and healthy veggies.
Nasi Goreng
This Indonesian fried rice has three important aspects to get it right:
1) The best results happen with cold and dry rice. You could use frozen rice leftovers.
2) Kecap Manis, a sweet indonesian soy sauce. If you can’t buy it, use soy sauce and syrup.
3) Extra Indonesian toppings and side dishes like a peanut sauce or fried egg.
Saffron Pasta
Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world, but luckily you only need very little. Simmering the sauce for a total of 25 minutes allows the taste to fully develop and creates a very comforting pasta sauce.
Read MoreCreamy Gnocchi
Gnocchi are a mix between pasta and dumplings. They are often made from potatoes and you can find them in the pasta section. They only need 5 minutes to cook.
Read MorePineapple Curry
The core of this recipe is curry, coconut milk and pineapple, while the cashews provide a nice bite and protein. The other vegetables can be adjusted to your own preference.
Read MoreChickpea Wat
This Ethiopian recipe is very simple, it just needs a bit of time for the
flavour to fully develop. It’s important to use plenty of spices and better
add a bit of stock later than making it too watery at the beginning. If you
don’t like chickpeas you can replace them with peas.
