Hi, my name is Anita. I love bread baking, especially sourdough breads, cheese making and cooking from scratch.
My favorite cuisines are French and Asian.
Most recipes here are in English; some are in Dutch. If one is to your liking, let me know: I will be glad to translate.

Vandaag een heel bijzonder gerecht: gerookte camembert. Met salade en brood erbij een makkelijk hoofdgerecht. Simpel en snel en altijd een succes! Extra fijn: zo'n kaasje hoef je maar 10 min. te roken, dus sla maken, brood snijden en binnen een half uur aan tafel!
Geitenkaas kun je ook prima roken!

Superlekker, zo'n knapperige flammkuchen net uit de oven. De pulled pork kun je zelf maken, maar dat is wel een project voor het weekend. Gelukkig kun je het kant-en-klaar halen in de supermarkt. Vervang pulled pork evt. door gebakken gyros- of shoarmareepjes.
Komend weekend: flammkuchen-party! Maak ook flammkuchen met zalm én met muhammara en spinazie.

What’s the one thing that makes this Mushroom Soup stand out from the rest? You’ll enjoy mushroom flavour in every mouthful. As strange and obvious as that sounds, most mushroom soups are actually nothing more than mushroom bits floating in a generically-flavoured creamy soup broth. But this one is 100% mushroom flavour – down to the last spoonful!

Truffel maakt van ieder gerecht een feestje, zeker deze romige aardappelsoep! In dit recept wordt de soep geserveerd met zelfgemaakte crostini’s gemaakt van een Italiaanse bol. Restjes over? Heerlijk om tot de volgende dag bewaren en als lunch op te warmen.

It’s the essence of summer: This is a silky and smooth Cold Corn Soup that’s creamy, sweet and utterly refreshing. It’s a soup intended to be served chilled or at room temperature, but it’s just as sensational served warm.
For the best results, use fresh corn ears when they’re at their prime (and cheapest!) But if frozen corn is all you’ve got, you can use that instead!
Prep: 15 mins Cook: 45 mins Chilling: 4 hrs.
A creamy, delicious soup that comes together in minutes thanks to Parmesan stock. This creamy garlic soup relies heavily on the flavor of a stock made from leftover Parmesan rinds, which are simmered in water and then blended to produce a creamy liquid with a lot of Parmesan flavor. With that stock on hand, the soup comes together quickly and requires very few additional ingredients.

This recipe was created for Karen Walker by Sarah Tuck: Reading Karen’s interview, I was delighted to see some of her food likes – garlicky, buttery, vegetarian pasta. My sons and I share the same favourite flavours. To that end, I've created a version of a dish that we often enjoy, which has several variations. Simply swap out the red onions and kūmara for pan-fried mushrooms and a pinch of truffle salt, or sliced zucchini with mint – the magic is in the reduced cream sauce that coats the pasta so that the result is silky, not overwhelming.
If you’re in need of some extra nurturing, there is nothing like a bowl of soothing, creamy soup to set you right – especially when teamed with crunchy, blue-cheese walnut toasts for dunking – bliss.
This beautiful winter soup comprises Portobello or Swiss Brown mushrooms, good quality chicken stock, lots of pungent garlic, thyme, some fresh cream and a wee bit of sherry to give it that extra little somethin' somethin'.
If you are pressed for time and just happen to have a whole lot of left-over chicken staring at you from the fridge, well then this is the recipe for you! The whole thing takes just half an hour to make, and you are left with a nourishing, warming soup that will make you feel so good. Perfect with a good chunk of ciabatta spread with butter for dunking!
This light Vietnamese salad bowl is loaded with fresh and fragrant flavours. The chicken can be grilled on the barbecue on those warmer spring evenings.
I always have frozen peas on hand and this soup is the perfect example of what can be whipped up with a few pantry essentials and a couple of veg. I’ve topped it with a poached egg but the soup is delicious served as is, or try crumbled crispy bacon or a few crisp croutons.
A fabulous soup for all seasons, fragrant with kaffir lime leaves, coriander and cashew nuts. The quick pickled zucchini adds a sharp freshness. Serve it with bowls of cooked white rice to make it more substantial.
These French crumpets are so yummy – great for feeding a crowd when you're in a hurry and still want to make something special. Change your fruit up depending on what's in season, I used frozen boysenberries and strawberries.
Tacos don’t have to always be Mexican. This Asian-inspired version is super tasty and the red kraut or kimchi adds a lovely tartness to balance the flavours.
