Dutch pastries, part 2

Posted on August 14, 2018August 18, 2018 by Kitchen Munchkin

For work I went to Arnhem and that was a golden opportunity to continue my series about Dutch pastries. Arnhem is a city in the east of the Netherlands. It’s a quiet little town (could also have something to do with, that it’s August – vacation month here), with your typical Dutch main shopping streets…

Tasting Japanese Kit-Kats

Posted on August 5, 2018 by Kitchen Munchkin

After another long hiatus I’m back with my blog. I don’t seem to be able to get into the habit of blogging. After an entire day at the office, which is more or less 8 hours in front of the computer, it doesn’t feel so tempting to set up the laptop and start writing. I’m…

The Bossche Bol – Dutch pastries, part 1

Posted on March 19, 2018August 14, 2018 by Kitchen Munchkin

Today I’m starting a new series: Dutch pastries. I will present Dutch pastries from around the country. I’m hoping to discover more than just over-sweet heavy stuff. Maybe there will be some travel involved, I hope. The adventure of gebak begins with the Bossche Bol from Den Bosch. The Bol is a big ball, see…

Sushi Saturday

Posted on November 12, 2017March 19, 2018 by Kitchen Munchkin

I love making sushi!! I still need practice for making the rolls nice and neat, but I like the versatility of sushi, with just a few ingredients and imagination you can create a beautiful and tasty thing. Yesterday we went to the market in Delft (will do a review post on this market soon) to…

Mungbean pancakes and cabbage rolls

Posted on October 24, 2017November 12, 2017 by Kitchen Munchkin

Today we finished the last left-overs of the cabbage rolls, including two hamburgers. A Swedish way would have been to make a potato pancake – called Raggmunk. I might do a recipe of that as well. But we didn’t have any potatoes. What we did have were mungbeans. And I’ve made Korean mungbean pancakes as…

Kåldolmar – Cabbage rolls

Posted on October 23, 2017October 24, 2017 by Kitchen Munchkin

If there’s one dish that’s really Swedish (?), it’s cabbage rolls, even though cabbage rolls are eaten over entire Northern Europe. There’s a story (probably not true) behind the Swedish cabbage rolls. The Swedish king Charles XII with his entorage had fled to the Osman empire after losing a battle to Peter the Great of…

Trip to Oslo, Norway – city and nature!

Posted on October 18, 2017October 23, 2017 by Kitchen Munchkin

    Since summer is long gone (or so I thought) and we’ve been working for a while now non-stop, it was time for a little vacation. This time we went to Oslo, Norway to visit friends. We flew with KLM from Schiphol to Gardemoen last Wednesday. Wednesday evening was spent catching up with the…

Home-made Mie Goreng

Posted on October 1, 2017October 18, 2017 by Kitchen Munchkin

One of the good things about living in the Netherlands, is that it’s quite easy to get Indonesian food both in normal supermarkets and toko’s (Indonesian supermarket). There are also a number of Indonesian restaurants in every city. In The Hague, I can recommend De Poentjak at Kneuterdijk 16, a bit of an old-fashioned restaurant, but…

Kräftskiva – Swedish Crayfish Party

Posted on September 3, 2017 by Kitchen Munchkin

One of the things I actually didn’t do so much when I was living in Sweden, was attending crayfish parties. I did it a few times with family but apart from not that, not that much. Now when I live abroad I do it every year, at least twice. We enjoyed it during our annual…
