Internal affairs

I apologize to our loyal readers (all 3 of them ;-) ) for letting you down. We’ve been really busy the last couple of weeks. Between lots of work and traveling, the additional attention that our business needs in times like these, and the 12-14 working-hour days there was just no time for blogging.

That doesn’t mean we had Campbell’s tomato soup every night! There was a lot of good food, some similar to things we had in the past, many new dishes. I will try to catch up and post some of the recipes.

Enjoy!I apologize to my loyal readers (all 3 of them ;-) ) for letting you down. The last 2 months clearly made me understand that I have bitten off a little more than I can chew. Between a lot of work and traveling, the added attention that our business needs in times like these, and the 12-14 working-hour days there was just no time for blogging.

That doesn’t mean we had Campbell’s tomato soup for the last 2 months! There was a lot of good food, some similar to things we had in the past, many new dishes. I will try to catch up and post some of these recipes. However, I may have to be less detailed with ingredients and instructions, because that’s really the time-consuming part.

Hope you enjoy the blog anyway!

Mediterranean spiced salmon in pita pockets

Similar recipes traditionally use minced beef, lamb or a combination of meats. I wanted to try a healthier version of this, using salmon. It works very well!
I personally like to add quite some spice to this dish, the yoghurt sauce will cool things down again, if necessary…

Beef filet with swisss chard and yoghurt-mustard sauce

Personally, I am a big fan of rib-eye steaks & flank steaks, cuts that contain a little more fat (and flavor). However, the tenderness of a beef filet is a very nice thing to experience every once in a while. This recipe has it’s origin in a classic french recipe but the original version calls for heavy cream and butter, things that we are trying to avoid most of the time. You will be surprised how well yoghurt works in many cases.
