As you know we don’t always have the right kitchen equipment or ingredients, because of our travels, but it forces me to be creative. When … Continue reading Moroccan Veggie ‘Tagine’ with couscous (including recipe)

Filled Courgette Rolls with Italian couscous (including recipes)

It’s just something different than potatoes, pasta or soup. It has been almost 3 years since we’ve had couscous, so I bought a … Continue reading Filled Courgette Rolls with Italian couscous (including recipes)
Peanut Butter Stir Fry (including recipe)
The last couple of months I’ve had a craving for Asian food! Maybe it’s because there is hardly any good Asian food in this part of the world.

In the Netherlands, peanut sauce was ordered … Continue reading Peanut Butter Stir Fry (including recipe)
