Kitchen Script

We all love food

This on-line script is meant to inspire everybody to make (or buy) what they love to eat, but foremost the ones who are afraid to enter the territory called the kitchen…

Restaurant Trouw

Restaurant Trouw was on my to go list since the opening of their re-designed restaurant a few months ago. The dear people from Trouw invited me to check it out, but my schedule didn’t allow me. My visit recently was cleverly combined with a screening at the same location of the touching documentary called Inside Out about Legendary photographer Anton Corbijn. I can tell you right now that I’ve ate some of the best dishes ever!

You need to go to Balthazar’s when you are in Amsterdam. One of my favorite gems! Fixed week menu’s with delicious dishes made from local and seasonal ingredients. Go for the vegetarian or the other option. The service is awesome and you’ll experience another kind of Amsterdam while you’re here. And the wine card is great too. I recommend you to make a reservation, because of the limited seats. No extra pictures for you…just check it out ;)

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.

Foodware

Foodware is one of my favorite places for take out with healthy options when you are too tired to cook. The owner and chef Sander makes daily specials with seasonal and local products. A very simple concept: choose your meat, fish, poultry or vegetarian option and two healthy side dishes.

Albion

I love this bakery and always try to find an occasion to spend my breakfast, lunch or tea time here: the Albion Cafe, Bakery and Food store. Take your time to have a full breakfast here or fetch a piece of pastry with organic soda for your shopping or art gallery spree!

The Ladbroke Arms

Our lovely gal Hazel, who left Amsterdam for London took me out for lunch at one of her favourites, The Ladbroke Arms. A traditional old school British restaurant with a beautiful terrace. Quite old school as in, no youngsters on the radar, old school interior, old school website and having an old school menu which looked very good!

Mildred’s Place

In the first week of March 2009 we celebrated our anniversary in London and planned our meetings with our friends in lunchrooms or restaurants. Nalden bumped into Karim and he took us for lunch at Mildred’s. An all vegetarian place with colorful dishes served in a cute bistro.

Market of all Markets

And that’s why I plan my London visits between Thursdays and Saturdays, so I can enjoy what Borough Market has to offer. Make sure you don’t eat before you go to the market, because you’ll be very disappointed when you can’t knock yourself out.
