Apple Cinnamon Muffins

categories: Websites

I love muffins, specially with fruit or chocolate, I decided to make apple cinnamon muffins because I had a couple of apples that were getting a bit old just to eat like that, so a cake is one of the best ideas to avoid throwing away food. After checking in the internet in few websites I found the one I liked the most to try, the recipe you can find in here: http://carolinebrouwer.blogspot.nl/2010/10/appel-kaneelmuffins.html It is in Dutch but there is a transaltion option. Delicious and very easy muffins. (more…)

Pasta with Sausages, Salad and Cakes

categories: Books, Jamie 30 Minutes Meals

Normally I don’t make the whole menu from the Jamie in 30 minutes meals, I think is too much, not only because it takes much longer than that but because you don’t need the dessert, you make a kind of healthy meal a bit unhealthy. But this time was on Sunday I had plenty time and on Sunday you can have a bit of extra cake, so I decided to make the whole menu. It was good, the pasta was fantastic, the cake was too much, as I expected, we were full, but the taste was great. (more…)

Filled Speculaas

categories: Books, Het Nederlands Bakboek

In Dutch this cake is called “Gevulde speculaas” if would translate is then “Filled Gingerbread”, but I think I should just leave the Dutch name speculaas. Well this cake or cookie, is one of the best Dutch sweets. In this version I am based in the book “Het Nederlands Bakboek”, normally I am not that fun of it, but I have to say this one is perfect, if you want to make one, you need to get this book. The whole house will smell to the mix of spices, fantastic! (more…)

Chocolate Cake

categories: Websites

I have been asked to prepare a chocolate cake for a wedding in January. Of course before then I need to test to see what is working the best. So I had to look into all my books and magazines, in the end I also did a web research and there it was, on the page of the BBC food, “Easy chocolate cake”. Well I can tell you it was easy but not that easy, still it was really delicious. I brought the cake to my work and I got the approval from my colleagues, that’s a good sign. (more…)

Kruidnoten

categories: Books, Het Nederlands Bakboek

Kruidnoten are typical Dutch cookies/sweets. Normally you will eat in November until the 5 of December (Sinterklaas) but lately you can find them in the supermarkets earlier in the year. I have to say I am not really a fan of Kruidnoten, but my husband and daughter are, so I decided that it was time to try to make them myself, that way I would know what are the ingredients. This recipe from “Het Nederlands Bakboek” is absolutely fantastic, I have to say I even like them now. (more…)
