local saturday market

Saturday morning.

An early visit to the local market for fresh vegetables and flowers.

We chose anemones for the kitchen table.
Ingredients for tonight's tajine; carrots, fennel, sweet colored peppers, potatoes, snow peas, garlic olives, a preserved salted lemon and chicken.
Fresh figs and chocolate for dessert.

Today Dietske, owner of the coolest house in Amsterdam East, will visit us. She is a sweetheart, whom I met in May as a participant of the Green Gardens workshop in Marrakech. We obviously cook a proper moroccan meal for her. Tajine is already simmering on the stove...

summer dinner

Henk prepared us an insanely delicious dinner yesterday.
Not to mention the appetizing set table with our colorful dishes collection...
Applause for my sweetheart!

We had a lovely evening with friends and enjoyed the summer dinner with the delicious dishes from our favorite cookbook Souk.

The pretty peonies from the market on both sides of the table looked great and the adorable bouquet of Sweet Peas Lammie brought along.

There's nothing like a dinner in good company at a beautifully set table.

Following the teapot of 2010, you might think that's unbeatable, but this Christmas we've got again a superfun personal and useful Christmas gift from my employers.

An orange iron casserole and signed 'koninklijke gerechten', their brandnew own written and illustrated (royal dishes) cookbook.

The casserrole is already on the stove, as today we are celebrating another Christmas day with family.

This one is for the kitchen wall of my friend Inge and involves a 'Jip & Janneke' pancakes recipe;
