Do you recognize this? You feel like pizza or another less healthy snack in on a weekday in the afternoon, but you don’t want to choose the unhealthy way right away? I have something for you: flammkuchen with fresh figs, rosemary, thyme and goat cheese. Deliciously fresh, full of herbs and vitamines and a healthy alternative to a high-calorie pizza.

For my new book Lekker Gelukkig we made a donut recipe. When the donuts were in the oven, I suddenly realize that we don’t have a donut recipe on the blog at all…

I would therefore like to present: Carries healthy vegan vanilla donuts.

One calls it halloumi fries, the other calls it cheese sticks but I think we at least agree that French fries + cheese is the best combo ever. The best of the best.

My homemade fries addiction all started with sweet potato fries,

Okay, okay. Maybe the Mars is my ultimate number 1, but the Twix deserved a well-deserved second place. With a base of almond flour, coconut oil and dates, a caramel of dates with peanut butter and a dark chocolate layer, this homemade twix pie is vegan, crunchy on the outside and deliciously creamy on the inside.

We all know the big bag of Celebrations from when we’re young. What I would reach when it showed up? I don’t have to think about that for too long. My absolute favorite is the mars. That delicious creamy milk chocolate in combination with soft caramel and nougat: a unique flavor combination, if you ask me.

You all probably know that I am a huge fan of peanut butter. Preferably homemade and so deliciously creamy that there is still an oil layer on top of the peanut butter. However, recently I discovered something new: tahini. Tahin (also called tahini, tachina and techina) is a paste made from sesame seeds and is mainly used with dishes such as

Mmm… Today I made one of the Indian classics. A vegetarian Samosa with a potato and green pea filling. Actually, all samosas are vegetarian because, although you can put anything in a samosa, about thirty percent of India is vegetarian. And because I’m also a vegetarian, I had to give this recipe a try. Normally you fry the samosas, but I just made them in the oven.

Mmm… This delicious orange cake is super easy to make and has a wonderfully fresh taste. You know that feeling when you want something fresh after dinner, but not just a piece of fruit? Then this orange cake is your best friend. Besides being super refreshing and tasty, oranges are also good for your health. Citrus fruits, including oranges, are:
