Stunning beetroot, water mellon and crispy tofu salad!
I do not know exactly why, but I wanted to try a combination with beetroot and water mellon. Not something that has not been done before. When you Google “beetroot and water mellon”

Red cabbage and peppers salad with a sweet-sour dressing.
The area where I live is famous for its cabbages, white, red or green. This has been cabbage country for several ages and still is to this day. There are several houses in my village were you’ll find a small crate standing outside containing some fresh cabbages with a small money box on top. If…

An absolute smashingly delicious salad which will put your dislike of cold beans aside forever. Sweet and savoury, refreshing and packed with protein, a great plant based salad!
Kale, figs, sprouted beans and quinoa salad, a superfood combination!
There is a lot of discussion about super foods, both positive and negative. While food research proved that all of the above-mentioned ingredients are bursting with al the necessary nutritional values, others question these outcomes. And of course there are those who say it is a hype and it will blow over. I usually stay…
Eggplant, chickpeas and sticky dates salad
This week there is a heated discussion going on in the Netherlands about a “50 day green diet”, a company started by a bunch of girls. The so-called experts (dietitians, culinary journalists, people who work for governmental subsidized company’s related to food etc.) claim that eating only plant based food is dangerous(!!!). Needless to say…
Spicy Gingery Cucumber and Sweet peppers salad
Nothing more refreshing than cucumbers I think. It is also the most favorite vegetable for many children. They do not see cucumber as being a vegetable, often they eat it as a snack. Whenever I serve my kids a meal I feel slightly guilty about (fries, pizza, that kind of stuff) I always serve cherry…
Cactus fig with fried, caramelized Brussels chicory and roasted pistachios
We are experiencing a heat wave in The Netherlands. I would almost like to say finally! The warm sunny weather is probably not for everyone, but I totally enjoy feeling the sun prickling on my skin, lying on the beach, go for a swim etc. This summer’s weather is also an excellent opportunity to eat…
Greek choriatiki vegan style
The Dutch summer season is utterly disappointing. We suffer from a serious lack of warm sunny days. So I decided to create a little bit of summer myself. In the form of this lovely vegan stye Greek choriatiki. I replaced the feta with avocado, added also grilled bell peppers and some rocket lettuce. A simple…
Heavenly grilled eggplant-figs salad.
When I bought fresh figs and Turkish eggplant, I had no way of knowing that they would turn up together in this heavenly salad! I do not always buy ingredients with a recipe or idea in mind, it is more the other way around most of the times. I see fresh produce which look irresistible…
Lovely fresh cucumber-ginger salad.
This lovely cucumber salad is not only fresh but spicy as well. The ginger and garlic that go into it make it so much more than just a cucumber salad. It combines with just about anything you can think of, but I especially like to have it as a side dish with spicy food, it…
Seaweed-ginger-shiitake salad
When I opened the package of seaweed spaghetti I must confess I was a bit put off by the smell that came out of the bag! But I put my small disgust aside and boy oh boy was that a good decision! This salad is stunning! It is based on the original recipe of Ottolenghi…
Red grapefruit, quinoa avocado salad
I do not particularly like to watch cooking programs, except for one: the Australian version of My Kitchen Rules. I indulge myself to watch every workday at 17.00 hours while I prepare dinner. It is funny how you start liking the contestants during the course of the show. To be honest it is not…
