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.
Sugarless by J&J
Another joint for the ones with food allergies haha a lunch room where you can find all natural and organic breakfast, lunch and sweets without refined sugar or yeast. Have a try and visit Sugarless by J&J in Amsterdam West.
Sweet Company
I was doing groceries at Ekoplaza today and was seduced by this. The label of the pure chocolate coated hazelnuts from Sweet Company sweetened with cane sugar. If you are wondering how it tastes, well.
Digging in the crates
I’ve been receiving weekly surprise crates from dekrat since June. An ideal concept for people who don’t have a lot of time going to the market, yet love to be introduced with old school local seasonal vegetables and fruit or are bored with same assortment of the regular supermarkets. Strawberries all year long? Doesn’t look right…
Starting with a vegetarian crate for five weeks, followed by a meat-eater crate. The vegetarian crates made me very creative, but had to please Nalden too. Quoting him: Ambar, I’m not a %*&( rabbit!
I received some recipes with each crate, but love to be creative if I have the time, so I’d like to share some quick ideas. No measurements, just to make it easy ;)

This guy is awesome
He smokes salmon, eel and trout, real time bebe. You can find him at the better markets haha. I met him at Puremarkt and bought a portion of all three smoked fish for my salad.
You can find this awesome guy on some markets and at Recreation Park ‘t Smallert, the Veluwe where you can catch and smoke your own fish.
I bought some mixed salad with watercress for dinner, threw in some potatoes and made a simple dressing made of
- greek yoghurt
- fresh lemon juice
- garlic
- dill
- salt and peppa
Sorry, I don’t know the measurements. I just throw everything together and taste haha
Sunday Market, Bordeaux
I love strolling on markets when I’m abroad and like to be surprised by what people like to share. Their goods, stories and culture. Love the craft and passion.
After surfing the nets on Saturday, I found out that Bordeaux has an awesome farmers market. A nice way, I my opinion, to have breakfast and get to know a city and its locals. So, you won’t find me at the hotel buffet.
For breakfast I treated myself with sourdough bread, good butter, caneles, fresh apple juice and macarons for on the road. To early for oysters man…
Visit Quai des Chatrons, Bordeaux on Sundays :)
