The vegetable garden brought in a few kilos of their newly harvested grapes. But they were small, had a hard skin and were also a bit too sour for my liking. Not to be used for our dessert in any case, I thought. But of course, throwing it away is never an option. So, I tried to turn them into something delicious by boiling them in cardamom and cinnamon. And cane sugar. And? Dessert hit. It’s too nice how things can suddenly go like this. Enjoy.

We ate a soup at our friend Astrid’s who is a great cook. And since she had a French mother, we have pretty much exactly the same taste. We know exactly what we think is ‘délicieux’ from each other. She made a soup with fried lemon zest in it. Not normally tasty. And so I made it a few days later in the restaurant. Almost too good to be true.

Artichoke soup, you don’t eat it so quickly I think. And that while it is so incredibly tasty and also ready in no time. It is a soup for all seasons, but even better when the weather is nice.

Oh cauliflower, it’s an amazing vegetable. Just the way it grows. I can’t get over it every time I divide them into roses. The ingenuity of such a vegetable to grow like this. Even with the eighteenth cauliflower in a day, I have immense respect. And then the versatile way in which you can prepare a cauliflower. Unbelievable. And always blissful. Also in this recipe in which we combine savory, nutty and sweet.
