Waterside stories

After a long break from publishing any portrait and fashion photography, I’m pleased to show you my latest work. Together with Caitlyn we managed to create a series of dreamy images as the sun set over a lake. Shooting with Cait was a walk in the park – she didn’t even question jumping into the cold water! Look out for more of our creative projects soon!

Foodie Recipes: Foccacia

This Italian pizza-like bread appetizer was so good it literally disappeared within minutes. Amazing with just a drizzle of olive oil and sea salt, but you can top it with pretty much anything you wish: cheese, onion, panchetta , rosemary or anchovies with olives like I did. Just make sure to keep it simple – after all it’s not a pizza. With this easy recipe you can see for yourself how long it will survive when shown to your housemates 🙂 Continue reading “Foodie Recipes: Foccacia”

Foodie Recipes: The Ultimate Hummus

Here it is. The ultimate hummus recipe. This velvety chickpea paste has been a favorite of mine for quite some time now. Made of healthy ingredients, it’s the best guilt-free dip or bread spread you could imagine. It’s also the perfect addition to your daily portion of fresh veggies. I guarantee your life will never be the same after trying this hummus goodness 😀

Today was the first time I’ve tried making it with homemade tahini (sesame seed) paste and trust me, it makes a huge difference. Continue reading “Foodie Recipes: The Ultimate Hummus”

Foodie Recipes: Chiacchiere

After a longer blogging break I am back with a recipe for Chiacchiere, angel wings or faworki. No, unfortunately there aren’t any chia seeds in this recipe. This sweet crispy ribbon pastry takes minutes to make and deep-fry. Traditionally found in several European countries, they are eaten mainly around the time of carnival. How does your national cuisine refer to angel wings? I hope you’ll give them a try if you haven’t tried them yet! 🙂 Continue reading “Foodie Recipes: Chiacchiere”

Windmills of Zaandam

As soon as I found out that my family would be visiting me here in the Netherlands, I knew we had to go on a day trip together. Even though the idea seemed very cheesy, I wanted to take them somewhere highly traditional. What could possibly be more Dutch than windmills, clogs,  façade architecture, the headquarters of Albert Heijn – the most popular supermarket chain in the Netherlands and countryside landscapes so beautiful, Claude Monet spent half a year creating paintings depicting the area. Here is my vlog from Zaandam, stay tuned for the pictures!

A Traveller’s Diary: Antwerp

It has taken me approximately two hours to fall in love with Antwerp. I was especially mesmerized by the architecture and the creative atmosphere of the place. The inhabitants of the cultural capital of Belgium can not only be proud of the city’s rich history, but also its significance for the fashion industry and arts. Although a day in Antwerp has left me with crazy amounts of photos, I can’t help but feel dissatisfied with the short amount of time me and my travel companion had to explore the city (and its numerous museums!). Stay tuned for the Antwerp vlog! 🙂
