GARLIC-PARMESAN DIPPED CHEESEBURGER 🔥

I totally get why this dish went viral. Not only is it a feast for the eyes, but it is also incredibly delicious.
Honestly, you need to taste this..

Garlic-parmesan sauce

Ingredients
• Butter: 1 tbsp
• Garlic cloves:6, finely chopped
• Heavy cream: 200 ml
• Milk: 100 ml
• Grated Parmesan cheese: 60 g
• Seasoning mix (paprika, garlic powder & onion powder): 1 tbsp
• Salt & black pepper: to taste
• Fresh parsley: a handful, finely chopped

Instructions
1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the garlic and cook gently for about 1 minute. Don’t let it brown.
3. Pour in the heavy cream and milk and stir well.
4. Add the seasoning mix, salt and pepper.
5. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
7. Stir in the fresh parsley.
8. Let it simmer for another 1–2 minutes, until the sauce is thick and creamy but still pourable.

If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a cornstarch slurry (a mixture of cornstarch and cold water)

You can stack the burger your way. Just don’t overfill it, or the buns won’t hold together.

Serve with fries and top with extra parmesan and parsley.

My love for the Balkans is only getting bigger. ❤️

What better birthday gift than a city trip? This time, my bf surprised me with a little getaway to Belgrade, Serbia.

A city with a heavy history, but today filled with a peaceful atmosphere, and, luckily, so much good food.

From traditional food to modern cafes and local spots, we ate our way through Belgrade.

AVOCADO CREMA W/ CHIPOTLE | GARLIC BEEF & PICKLED ONIONS

This dish isn’t just a feast for the eyes, it’s a flavour bomb too ❤️‍🔥

The creamy avocado crema pairs beautifully with the spicy ground beef, sweet grilled corn, and tangy-sweet red onion and jalapeño.
Queso fresco adds an extra salty kick, while charred lime brings a subtle hint of bitterness.

Add some totopos and dig in!

Perfect for sharing, or simply make yourself a plate and enjoy it all on your own!

Mussels are one of those dishes that are perfect for sharing around the table, although I could easily eat an entire pot of mussels all by myself.

They’re a true part of Dutch food culture, and while we all know the classics, have you tried them this way?

Japanese-style mussels in a delicious umami broth: salty, spicy, and slightly sweet.

Served with sticky rice, which soaks up all that flavorful broth, and a crisp, refreshing seaweed salad, they make a light and delicious summer meal.

Mussels are not only low in calories, but also highly nutritious. They’re rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin B12. Plus, this dish comes together in no time, making it perfect for a quick summer meal.

Ingredients

• Fresh mussels: 1 kg Mosselen. Zo uit Zeeland
• Spring onions: 2, finely sliced
• Garlic: 4 cloves, finely chopped
• Fresh ginger: 2–3 cm, finely grated
• Nori: 1 sheet, cut into thin strips
• Sesame seeds: 1 tbsp
• Lime: 1
• Light soy sauce: 2 tbsp
• Mirin: 2 tbsp
• Rice vinegar: 1 tbsp
• Wasabi: 1 tsp, or to taste
• Neutral oil: 1 tbsp
• Water: 50–75 ml, optional
• Chili flakes: to taste

Instructions

1. Rinse the mussels thoroughly under cold running water. Discard any broken mussels and remove the beards.
2. Heat the neutral oil in a large pot over medium heat.
3. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Add the light soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and wasabi. Stir well. Add 50–75 ml of water if you prefer a little more broth.
5. Add the mussels and toss well to coat. Cover the pot with a lid and steam for 4–6 minutes, until the shells have opened. Shake the pot a few times during cooking.
6. Discard any mussels that remain closed after cooking.
7. Squeeze the lime juice over the mussels and gently toss.
8. Divide the mussels and umami broth between deep bowls. Garnish with the sliced spring onions, nori strips, sesame seeds, and chili flakes.
9. Serve immediately with sticky rice and a crisp, refreshing seaweed salad.

City girl on a farm 🌾

This birthday dinner for my boyfriend in the garden at Lindenhoff Marché couldn’t have been better. Less than 15 minutes from home, yet it felt like we had escaped to the countryside.

Surrounded by meadows, cows, pigs, and horses, we enjoyed a delicious five-course dinner from Restaurant Wils under the open sky. Pure flavors, straight from the farm. For us, this is what enjoying life looks like.

Why do I love the Greek islands? 🇬🇷

Maybe because my name, Cynthia, has Greek origins. Maybe because of the warmth of the people. Maybe because of the generous use of garlic in the food, and even in Greek traditions. Maybe because of the diversity and purity of the cuisine. Maybe because of the beautiful climate. Maybe because of the breathtaking nature. Maybe because of the relaxed island way of life.

I think it’s all of the above.

TOMATO TARTARE W/ PEACH & STRACCIATELLA

What do you eat when it’s hot? This.❤️‍🔥

This fresh, summery dish comes together in no time. Made with just a handful of flavorful ingredients, it’s packed with flavor. Sweet honey tomatoes pair beautifully with juicy peach, mildly sharp shallot, fragrant basil, and salty capers. Finish it with creamy stracciatella and crunchy pistachios.

Delicious served with a toast of sourdough bread.

Gdańsk, this beautiful and colorful city truly surprised me in a positive way ✨It is a city with a profound history, yet nowadays it has such a peaceful and calm atmosphere. There is plenty to see and taste, from traditional restaurants to trendy restaurants. Something for everyone.

If you are looking for a great city trip destination, Gdańsk is definitely worth visiting. And don’t forget to visit the seaside town of Sopot (fish!) as well.
