Piet Hein Eek Restaurant

Finally had the time to visit Piet Hein Eek’s restaurant in Eindhoven. Totally psyched by his funny written small book ‘Het Pand’ (The Building) about how he began his entrepreneurial adventure as a furniture designer, making awesome pieces from wooden waste and renovating an old warehouse with his partner in crime Nob Ruijgrok into their HQ. But how was the kitchen in his wonderful decorated restaurant?

Steak salad. Note to self…Marinate small pieces of steak in sesame oil, soy sauce and crushed garlic. Season and put it on the side.In the meantime cut some onions, cucumber, any salad you have, spring onions, tomatoes and some chill without the seeds. Fry the onions in some olive oil add the steak and bake until the steak is ready. Serve all vegetables with the meat on top. Sprinkle the spring onion and chilli over the meat and salad. Squeeze some lime or lemon juice over the salad if you like. Enjoy :)

Cook & Book

I never knew that there would be something as awesome as this store, Cook & Book. Food and books you’ve ever dreamed of. I was fortunate enough to visit this place while in Brussels. Cook & Book has four themed rooms with a menu to please everyone. Have a thought about what kind of mood you’re in and what you’d like to eat most. Pick your room!

Went all macrobiotic in Amsterdam at the Kushi Institute, Deshima. My sister introduced me to this place. She’s a health freak and likes to take me to try before you die places haha Not really my cup of tea, yet I think… a macrobiotic diet is all about going local, but most of the time it’s just Japanese food made of Japanese ingredients shipped from Japan… Not really good for the environment if you live on the other side of the globe right? Can somebody help me with a macrobiotic joint where one uses ultimately Dutch products?

Two for Joy I’ve ‘quit’ drinking coffee, but went back drinking decaf with soy and even tried a cappuchino with goats milk (don’t try this at home). So I’m a fake coffee drinker with a strong passion for Kopi Luwak wanting to go back to the realness. This feeling came back now independent coffee roasters like Two for Joy are poppin’n here in Amsterdam. Coffee lover or not. Two for Joy offers delicious lunch, pastries, good service from coffee fans and wifi. The lentil soup with lemon and bean soup with cumin and cream fraiche are delicious! An ideal place for business meetings and another scenery change than the desk you are used too.

Sunday Up Market

This market is also one of the markets of all markets! Friends told me (again) not to eat before visiting the Sunday Up Market. What they didn’t tell me was that you shouldn’t eat cupcakes on an empty stomach haha. Well, what to expect? All cuisines you can imagine!
