Arabic pumpkin allspice bread/appetizer

Virry – actually Virginie – walked into the restaurant one day. A farmer at her back – with us in Gameren – had a lot of pumpkins left. Could I do something with that? Naturally. And so we made soup, salad, main courses, mashed potatoes and more of those whoppers of pumpkins for weeks. And this bread. As one of the two starters of a four-course menu. Almost wanting to eat them with your hands.

Lentil-eggplant stew

It’s such a cold day outside, you come home and you need comfort food. Then this is your best option. If you’re lucky, it’s already on the table, otherwise you’ll have to work for another 45 minutes. But then you also have something… By the way, it’s delicious all year round.

Cavolo nero (palm cabbage), chickpeas with fennel seeds and sumac yogurt

In the two vegetable gardens we work with, the palm cabbage continues to grow. That means that we have this delicious, versatile and mega healthy vegetable at our disposal for months. And every time we can conjure up something new and surprising and delicious on the table. Also this time.

Fennel soup with pickled lemon and black olives

It’s yellow, it’s in your plate and it’s incredibly tasty. This fennel soup will delight your tongue and more. It’s soft, it’s surprising, and it looks beautiful too. The pickled lemon makes it fresh, the olives give it a good foundation and the fennel is wonderfully soft.
