One of my favorite flavors combination in a toast would be salmon and cream cheese or a toast with avocado and tomato, so I had a wild idea and made a toast tower combining all these ingredients in one dish and the salmon toast tower was born. Simply layering all these lovely ingredients and serving with some lemon parts on the side. Ingredients (2 persons) 300 gr smoked salmon 10 cherry tomato 1 avocado 4 slices toast bread 1 lemon Salt & pepper Arugula (optional) 3 tbsp cream cheese 1 small onion Preparation 1. Slice the avocado in cubes, season with salt, pepper and a drop of lemon juice and mash with a fork. 2. Toast your bread. 3. Cut the bread in a triangle as shown below, this way the two outsides match the shape of the one triangle on the inside. 4. Take the middle triangle to start and put a layer of the mashed avocado. 5. Place the two half triangles on top and add a layer of sliced smoked salmon. 6. Again place the two half triangles on top of the salmon. 7. Now use a piping bag to add a layer of cream cheese. 8. Add the last full triangle on top, place a little bit of arugula on the top toast and add some more sliced salmon in the middle. 9. Top of with a bit of cream cheese, some onion rings and optional some fresh dill. 10. Surround the tower with some lemon parts and some half cherry tomatoes. 11.

In this cold winter season I love a good thick and rich soup but as a chef I also like to give a special twist to this comforting bowls. So this Turnip soup is always flavored with some truffle before hitting the table at home. The aroma from the truffle blends so well with the earth taste of the turnips and the potatoes that are the base of this amazing soup. It's a super easy recipe which can't go wrong and with the truffle you'll surprise your guests time after time. The basic ingredients are onion, leek, turnips, veggie stock, salt and pepper and just before serving you hit it with some truffle paste or white truffle oil. Hope you'll try this special version out and let me know how it was. Ingredients 500 gr turnips 2 large potatoes 1 leek (only use the white part) 2 onions 2 liter veggie or chicken stock Truffle paste or oil Salt and pepper 1 tbsp butter Equipment Cutting board Cooking pot Preparation: 1. First wash and peel all your veggies and chop them up in chunks. 2. Put some butter in your cooking pot, add all the veggies and stir fry them on a low fire until they are glazed. 3. Add salt and pepper and the stock. Cook for about 30 minutes. 4. Blend the soup, let it cook for 5 more minutes and blend again. Blending it twice will get a smoother and better binding of your soup. 5. Taste and if needed season with salt and pepper. 6. Just before serving add a tea spoon of truffle paste or a tsp of white truffle oil. 7. Serve with some roasted bread for the ultimate taste experience.

Is this the best Bolognese ever? Well, no cause my Grandma's was the best but I'm aiming for silver here today. Serve the sauce with a pasta you like and some bread and Parmesan cheese. Same sauce is used to make a Lasagna Alla Bolognese which we will take on in the coming weeks. Hope you'll try my recipe out some day and let me know how it was. Enjoy!

It's a so easy to make 5 min craft and I find it a lot more tasty as the bought versions in the supermarket so today I wanted to share my recipe with you guys. All you need is a blender or a high bowl and a mixer. Canned chickpeas, garlic, tahini (sesame paste), olive oil, salt and pepper and a drop of lemon juice.

What is better than bacon and eggs for a hangover breakfast? Well, this Hangover Breakfast 2.0 is. A super easy egg and bacon rolls pie to defeat any hangover bothering you, and you'll have 55 minutes oven time sipping coffee as a excuse for doing nothing and let your braincells try to fall back into place. I used a pre packed quiche dough, put it in my cake mold, added rolled bacon stripes, thrown in 9 whole medium eggs, some salt and pepper on top and simply put in the oven for 55 minutes. Ingredients 1 roll pre-made quiche pastry 200 gr bacon slices 9 eggs Salt and pepper Butter for the mold Equipment Oven Cake mold (15 cm) Fry pan Preparation 1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 ºC 2. Fry the slices of bacon till they are almost done but not crispy. 3. Butter your cake mold and place the pre-made quiche pastry inside, keeping a 5 cm high border. 4. Roll up the fried bacon slices and put in your cake mold. 5. Once they are all set up in the cake mold just start cracking the eggs one by one putting them between and on top of your bacon rolls (I used 9 but depending on the size you might need 8 or even 10) just make sure the bacon rolls are totally covered. 6. Place into the oven for about 55 minutes. 7. Unmold and serve hot.

This Panna Cotta with berry sauce is a take on on the classic Italian Panna Cotta, which literally means cooked cream. It’s a milk, cream and gelatin based recipe which can be flavored with a lot of different garnishing's. I’ve chosen for a milk only based recipe today flavored with a fresh vanilla bean stick and some vanilla sugar topped with a berry sauce. It’s a truly easy recipe that cannot go wrong, only thing to keep in mind is that it needs a few hours to set in the fridge so prepare it in time. You only need whole milk, sugar, vanilla bean stick, vanilla sugar and gelatin for this recipe. Hope you’ll try it out enjoy it! Stay safe and stay healthy my friends! Ingredients (6 servings) 1 liter of whole milk (divided) 2 bags gelatin from 9 gr (or 12 sheets of gelatin) 1 bag vanilla sugar (8 gr) 1/2 cup sugar 1 vanilla beans stick 2 cups frozen forest fruits 1/2 cup sugar Equipment 1 Cutting Board 1 Knife 1 Pan 2 Cooking pots Preparation 1. Take out 12 spoons of milk and mix with the two bags of gelatin, set aside. 2. Slice the vanilla bean stick open and put together with the rest of the milk, the sugar and the vanilla sugar. 3. Heat it up until you reach the boiling point, take it away from the fire and wait for 5 minutes, then add the gelatin mix and let it cool down a bit. 4. Fill up your glasses and put in the fridge to set, this will take around 3 hours, meanwhile don’t stir or move the Panna Cotta. 5. Meanwhile put the frozen berries in another cooking pot and put on a really small fire together with the sugar , when it boils you take it away from to fire and set aside to cool down. 6. I prefer this berries mix being saucy, if you prefer it a bit more solid you can add 1 gelatin sheet to every 100 gr of berries. 7. After 3 hours of setting, put some of the berry sauce on top of the Panna Cotta and enjoy. #holidaypastrycollab #tasty #belgië #foodie #homecooking #instafood #foodgram #fastrecipe #kerst #feestdagen #foodstagram #foodblogfeed #instafoodie #foodphotography #foodies #foodbloggers #milk #food #homecooked #forestfruits #holidayseason #strawberry #blueberry #sugar #christmastime #sweets #dessert #christmasrecipes #christmas #pannacotta

Ingredients 1 roll pre made puff pastry 100 gr goat cheese 50 gr small bacon cubes or ham Handful blueberries 100 gr mozzarella 2 tsp pesto 3 sundried tomatoes 100 gr ricotta 60 gr cooked spinach Salt and pepper Equipment Oven Cupcake mold 12 pieces Cutting board Preparation 1. Pre-heat the oven to 200 ºC. 2. For the Italian style filling, chop up the mozzarella and the sundried tomatoes, put it in a small bowl, add the pesto, some pepper and mix. Put aside. 3. For the fruity filling, soften up a bit the goat cheese and mix in the bacon or ham cubes and the blueberries. Put aside. 4. For the ricotta filling, season the spinach with salt and pepper, add the ricotta and mix. Put aside. 5. Now slice squares out of your puff pastry according to the size of your cupcake mold (I always advice to test one so you can adjust if needed before cutting the others(, normally 1 sheet puff pastry will do for 12 cupcakes. 6. Butter the mold and place all puff pastry in the mold, keeping the edges opened. 7. Fill 4 with the ricotta mix, 4 with the Italian mix and 4 with the goat cheese mix. 8. Close the puff pastry bringing all corners to the inside. 9. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, until golden. TIP: The cheeses will tend to expand a bit, don't worry its normal and they will shrink in again when taking them out of the oven. 10. Give them 5 minutes to set and unmold. 11. Serve them hot or cold. Enjoy! TIP: Even if you want to serve them hot later and reheat them I still advice to unmold them first after baking and put them back in the mold to reheat. #puffpastry #foryou #kaas #munchies #ricotta #eatingfortheinsta #mozzarella #feedme #spinach #christmasrecipes #belgium #baking #goatcheese #cheese #cheeselover #foodies #cheeselovers #lovefood #homecooking #chef #cooking #foodporn #instafood #foodgram #fastrecipe #foodblogger #foodstagram #foodblogfeed #instafoodie #foodbloggers #buzzfeedfood
