Arabic

Whenever I can, I dive into a kitchen to cook with someone. I think that’s the nicest thing there is. It immediately creates a bond, you both do what you like best, you immediately exchange knowledge and passion with each other and in the meantime you are just making delicious things. You do not even have to speak each other language fluently in order to understand each other. So that’s exactly what I did in Tamragth, Morocco, two days after I tasted this dish for the first time. t hit like a bomb and I immediately made an appointment to cook together with Fati(ma). And that’s what we did. And now I serve it in restaurant and the guests say unanimously…. you get a star for this. Well, Fati deserves it.

Bettich, that’s what you call watermelon in Arabic. We had it soooo often in Lebanon. And every time I eat it now, I’m there again. I think many associate it with holiday feeling, warm summers and the like. This salad is delicious, with different taste sensations. Sweet, salty, crunchy, soft. Delicious.

Doperwten, het is misschien wel mijn minst favoriete groente. If I wanted to call it that. Anyway, I had a big bag in the freezer. Don’t ask what he was doing there, but it lay there. And I didn’t want to throw it away. And then I came up with this soup. Bull’s eye, peas have risen in my estimation. It turned out to be a delicious soup.

This is an ‘oh mom, this is nice’ dish. It’s fresh, nourishing, sparkling. A dish that makes you happy. Well that’s no surprise, because that’s goes for all the dishes on this website. It is summery and sunny.
