Recipe

Grilled artichoke hearts. Crispy right? And then with that delicious za’atar aioli. Well, it is a snack or a side that is ready quickly. A lovely addition on the table. Delicious as an appetizer. Lovely with a mezze. If you always have a few artichoke hearts in the freezer—just like me—you can put this surprising dish on the table in no time.

A salad made of fruit and olives. I don’t think you make it often, but it’s a fantastic combination of sweet and salty. Sweet and nutty. In bright orange with inky black. Of a soft taste with a very dark taste. Very tasty and beautiful to look at too.

Figs are comfort food for me. I eat them with skin and all. I simply cannot get enough of them. I feel happy when I can gently squeeze a ripe fig. En dan als je ze openscheurt. Beautiful sight. I didn’t even mention the taste. The sweetness. The festive taste. Phew… and here with caramelized walnuts and yogurt. A true party.

I’ve been very successful with this recipe this summer. Celeriac. People are shy. Look at it. Yeah, looks nice but… Yeah, celeriac …. Do I dare or not? And if, after some encouragement, they do take a bite, and then it all takes off. There is no stopping it. Do I need to say more? No, thought so.
