Sound on! Lockdown has changed our routine. Saturday night is now pizza night instead of Friday. Experimenting with new toppings is fun.
Labneh, spring onions and Italian sausage with a kick from @limoncellocambs. ⁠⠀

What is your favourite restaurant? A question I of

What is your favourite restaurant? A question I often get asked. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For me, there is only one place in the world. It is not about the food, wine, but the location and memories.
⁠⠀
I moved to Cape Town in 2000 and lived here for 2.5 years. One of our first weekends away was in Franschoek. On our way back to Capetown we travelled via the Helshoogte pass.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It was raining at the time, and we stopped off for lunch at a small vineyard. We couldn't enjoy the view as the weather was terrible. My son of then almost 2 decided to play the piano here, which was a completely new experience for him. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The gourmet destination @delairegraff opened its doors at this location in 2009, and I have been lucky to have dined here many times. Every time I visit, I think back on that special moment in 2000. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
My son turned 22 today, so I thought it might be nice to share this special memory with you. ⁠⠀

It's been a while since I posted here. A lot has happened in the last few weeks.⁠
⁠
Let's start with a delicious creamy recipe of broccoli soup. If you have an allotment yourself, you probably have a huge crop of purple sprouting broccoli right now.⁠
⁠
For this recipe I have used the whole plant; the leaves, rosettes and the flowers. The white miso gives it a delicious creamy texture.⁠

A throwback to my birthday celebrations.⁠

From fine dining to long beach walks and a Spanish lunch. ⁠

Estefania from @tapascambridge surprised us with truffles last Sunday, which she foraged herself. Keen to find out where she found this black gold?⁠

We love to support new businesses at the @cambfood

We love to support new businesses at the @cambfoodtour and especially if they are filling a gap in the market. As you probably know, I hail from the Netherlands and I crave Indonesian food regularly. I was chuffed when I came across a new enterprise on Instagram. Yes, you probably have guessed it, Indonesian food!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Edward from @nusantara.uk hails from Java and moved to Cambridge last year. He launched his business a few months ago and is slowly building up his business. You will soon be able to sample his delicious food at pop-ups in Cambridge. Keep an eye out on his social media and if you can't wait, message him for a takeaway, which is £ 8.50 per portion. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And my verdict of the Dendeng Balado ( spicy beef) and the Tempeh Kecap ( Tempeh cooked in sweet soya sauce)? Delicious!⁠⠀

I was going to post a throwback to the great food

I was going to post a throwback to the great food adventures I had this weekend, but my heart is with one of my favourite countries today. Let's hope that the dark clouds over Italy soon will clear.⁠
⁠
I made this photo of the Vatican when we had a delicious dinner on the roof terrace of @hotelraphaelroma on my first visit to Rome in 2011.⁠
