Kroepoek, quick Asian snack
Tuesday, July 12th, 2011
Post 101. That means we have posted 100+ entries on this blog since I started two years and 9 months ago! It’s been a fun way of sharing food adventures and recipes, and the plan is to continue until I run out of inspiration, which will probably be: never! So here’s something I want to [...]

Huzarensalade (Dutch)
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009
This is one of my all time favorites: Huzarensalade, a delicious (pink) potato salad that could be served as a meal salad or as an appetizer. So where did the name come from? The Huzaren were Hungarian riders of origin, fighting for the Imperial Austrian armies against the Turks. Huzaren were especially useful to explore [...]
