Meat nor fish (vegetarian)

Tulip bulb soup

Straight to the recipe A recipe from the Hunger Winter ’44/’45 I have deliberated for a long time whether to publish this recipe. For some Dutch people this dish raises memories to a traumatic period in their lives. It was a means of survival during the infamous hunger winter of 1944/1945. More recently, tulip bulb…

An old family recipe

I have good memories of this salad. My grandmother (on the right, with me on her lap) prepared it during long vacations during the summer in Maastricht, the Southern-most city of the Netherlands, when it was very hot. My mother also had it on her repertoire as an easy meal during heatwaves. So this is…

Herb soup with potato dumplings

Straight to the recipe A delicate herald of Spring The text for this recipe is from a cookbook from theĀ nineteenth century, but in fact the recipe is older. InĀ Le cuisinierĀ from Pierre de Lune (1656) there is a ‘potage the santĆ©’ with sorrel, purslane, chervil and herbs, and no doubt there are other comparable recipes. Two…

Medieval Easter Eggs

Straight to the recipe Playing with colours During Lent, which starts on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday before Easter, eggs were banned from the table.

Mille-feuille the Dutch way

Straight to the recipe Tompouce is the Dutch version of mille-feuille. It is popular throughout the year, but on some days, it is almost traditional to eat this pastry.

Cheese biscuits

Straight to the recipe The first recipes for 2019 both concern hot, mulled wine. To accompany these wines, I have added this recipe for cheese biscuits from a French cookery book that we used for our Christmas dinner 2018: La cuisine de monsieur Momo, cĆ©libataire.

Braised Belgian Endives

Straight to the recipe Belgian endives are not widely appreciated. It does not look very attractive once it is cooked, with its grey and slimy exterior. That is why generally speaking, today this vegetable is eaten raw as salad, or only slightly cooked. Imagine my horrified surprise when I read the recipe for Belgian endives…

Broccoli in the ‘Opera’

Tourte de fonges

Rice Pudding for Lent

Straight to the recipe This fourteenth-century recipe is especially forĀ Lent, the period between carnival and Easter. Meat and dairy products were banned from the table (see the recipe forĀ Fake Fish), and inventive cooks would create delicate dishes within these limitations, even though meals during Lent should be sober occasions. This sweet almond-rice pudding with raisins…
