Pan-Fried Salmon with Vegetables
Pan-fried salmon with vegetables “But aren’t you a vegetarian?” I sometimes get asked this question when people see me eating fish. And yes, I usually eat a vegetarian diet, but every now and then I’ll have some fish. The main reason for this exception is that fish contains a number of very healthy nutrients. I pay attention to…
Saborós Salad
Saborós salad No, it’s not a gap in your cultural knowledge if this term doesn’t mean anything to you. It also has nothing to do with that latest cookbook on Indonesian cuisine that you don’t have on your shelf yet—though I don’t think you can ever have too many cookbooks. Here’s the thing: I had a…

Wrap with salmon, bell peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes
Wrap with Salmon, Bell Peppers, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes The combination of pointed bell peppers with pickles, sun-dried tomatoes, and salmon might not sound as appealing as banana and chocolate, but trust me, that’s completely unfair.

Verrassende slabootjes
Verrassende slabootjes Laatst zag ik een tv-programma waarin een aantal chefkoks het tegen elkaar opnamen om een origineel viergangenmenu op tafel te toveren. Elk recept was tot in de puntjes afgewerkt en werd door de jury beoordeeld op het gebied van smaak, textuur, presentatie en originaliteit. Het eten moest een ware beleving zijn. Hoewel ik…

Dat wil niet zeggen dat er minder groenten gegeten worden, integendeel zelfs, er is geen beter moment voor een zomerse salade als nu. Laat de potten en…

Pasta with pesto “Good habits are as addictive as bad habits, but much more rewarding.” (Harvey Mackay) And you don’t create those good habits through a single, massive effort, but by living a little healthier each day than you did the day before: the principle of becoming 1% better every day than you were yesterday….
Spaghetti
Spaghetti Bij dit gerechtje wil ik graag de tomaten in de spotlights zetten. Die hebben namelijk heel wat te bieden voor onze gezondheid. Wie regelmatig tomaten eet, heeft minder kans op hart-en vaatziekten. Dit is o.a. te danken aan de kalium, vitamines B3, B6, B9 en lycopeen die ze bevatten. Lycopeen is een stof met…
