Pomegranate and Feta Salad
A simple salad with delicious sweet and sour flavors. And because it’s Christmas we’ve added some feta.
Read MoreHasselback Potatoes with Red Beet and Apple Salad
Crispy baked potato slices topped with a creamy mixture of umami flavours from the cheese and salsa ai funghi. Together with the fresh salad this is an easy main course.
Read MoreRoasted Chickpeas
Crispy chickpeas with a nice salty flavor. Perfect as a snack and healthy replacement for potato chips.
Read MoreChocolate and Nut Trifle with Raspberries
A light chocolate mousse with deep and intense flavours. Served on a base of almond and dates and topped with pistachios and raspberries. Creating the mousse is a bit more advanced but should be no problem if you carefully follow the instructions. If you want to play it safe we suggest trying it with other 70% dark chocolate before Christmas day. While it’s possible to use a hand blender, a food processor will make this a lot easier.
Read MoreApple Pear Crumble with Caramelised Cashews
A classic dessert that never disappoints. The warm crumble and sticky, soft fruit served with vanilla ice cream is a match made in heaven. And to give it that extra crunchy Christmas touch, we’re serving it with caramalised cashews.
Read MoreFried Mushroom and Kale Snacks
If you’re looking for a delightful dish to impress your guests, this is it. The fresh raspberry and apple jam is the perfect complement to the nutty and earthy flavours of these deepfried snacks. You don’t need a deep fryer, you can simply use sunflower oil in a pan. After you’re done, let the oil cool down and pour it back into the bottle to use as regular cooking oil.
Read MoreSweet Potato and Walnut Cake
This cake falls somewhere in between sweet and savoury with just the right amount of sticky texture. It is the perfect base for enjoying the delicious raspberry and apple jam.
Read MoreCrispy Bundles filled with Mushrooms
Crispy bites with an explosion of creamy mushroom flavour. The salsa ai funghi adds a nice tomato twist but these bundles are also delicious without it. If you have a family member who doesn’t like the texture of mushrooms, this recipe should be fine because you slice the mushrooms very finely.
Read MoreMustard Soup
This soup is a traditional Dutch dish. It’s a quick and easy recipe with a delightfully sour and rich flavour from the mustard. The taste of the mustard is not overwhelming. Start with two tablespoons of mustard and then add more if you want to. We thought it was most delicious when you serve it immediately but reheating it the following day also works.
Read MoreMexican Fajitas
This classic tex-mex recipe is inspired by ‘refried black beans’, a traditional staple of the Mexican kitchen. Yes, it seems like a lot of beans but it forms into a paste and is just right for 8 big wraps. Two more tips: don’t be afraid to use lots of coriander in the Guacamole and when in doubt, add more lime juice!
