Winter coleslaw

The winter brings interesting and dull veggies such as cabbage. Just found out you can do a lot with it. I received all kinds of cabbage in my weekly treats from the local food exchange program and was tired of stir frying it and making stew with red cabbage, balsamic vinegar and apples. 

I was thinking about  a winter salad which was easy to make using ingredients I had home (red, white cabbage, apples and walnuts) with the help of BBC Food!! The best source for help in the kitchen.

Egg in the basket?

How do you call it anyway? I found a dozen of names for this egg in toast. Here’s a quick how-to in just three images. The images say enough, right? First, use a scone cutter to make a whole in your favorite bread (I used sourdough bread), heat a non - stick frying pan with awesome olive oil, toast your slice of bread and gently pour your egg into the hole. You can put a lid on the pan if you don’t have the patience to cook the egg. Like to have your egg yolk soft? Just keep an eye on the pan. When it’s ready (egg white cooked please) season, serve it with lettuce, your favorite chutney or organic truffle mayonaise. Ideal for your DIY breakfast and brunch!

Succes beef stew

This recipe is really for the lazy ones. Last Saturday I tried out the infamous beef stew recipe of Jelle Spanjaard. Both Jelle and I have a subscription to de Krat, a North Holland CSA service (community supported agriculture). We receive local produced goods like jam, juices, vegetables, fruits, eggs, bread and meat or fish on a weekly base. Most of the time Jelle and I cook together with de Krat items and make several feast meals like beef stew!
