‘Stampot’ (mashed potatoes with kale) belongs to the Dutch ‘cuisine’. It’s part of our winter. And of course, stamport traditionally includes bacon and sausage. But not here, of course. And with these amazing spicy mushrooms, you have a whole new ‘stampot’ experience. One that overrides the other. It’s better. More tasteful. Really great.

It’s one of those bites that’s going to be talked about for a long time. It’s one of those things your guests will talk about for years: the other day I was at a place and I ate the most delicious truffle bitterballs ever. It’s uncomparably delicious. It’s worth the effort. Hands down.

Snacking can be so good. And healthy, too. These fries are made from strips of parsnip. Very tasteful. Very crunchy. And of course full of flavour. Delicious as a side dish or just instead of a bowl of chips or nuts.

Bread, it’s not my favourite. I prefer having a warm lunch. Even salad are lukewarm often at my table. But if I make this little mushroom dish for lunch, than even I have some bread to go along with it. It’s a smasher. Irresistible and greedy, that’s what it does to you. But hey, there are worse things we need to deal with.
