Polpo alla siciliana 🐙

Here’s our version of a Sicilian-style braised octopus linguini!

We cooked it for an hour with fresh fennel and white wine and paired it with a salmon and tomato slow-cooked sauce

Simply divine!

Any octopus-lovers here?

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄

Enjoy the holidays with your family and friends (and a whole lot of good food and wine 😋)!

We’re ready for a new year of creative cooking and can’t wait to bring our best new dishes to your intimate gatherings or big events!

It’s been a good weekend ❤️🍽

We like to use bold flavours in our recipes!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Take our marinated apricots with cinnamon, rosemary and thyme for instance - the fresh herbs let the product shine. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Served with homemade cardamom ice cream and sweet honey - it makes for a very interesting dessert (if we may say so ourselves 👼)⁠⁠
⁠⁠

13/08/2021

Meet Chloë! 🙋🏻‍♀️⁠
The other half of our Chef & Chief duo.⁠
⁠
She loves to cook but above all there is nothing that she loves more than trying new dishes and tasting wines from all over the world (did you notice? 🍷)⁠
⁠
That is where she gets her inspiration for her own recipes and flavour combinations.⁠
⁠
Chloë got her cooking degree and aspiring sommelier degrees in 2017, won a televised cooking show and has written her own cookbook in the meanwhile.⁠
⁠
Apart from creating food recipes, she loves creating her own cocktails and is very interested in the science of food pairing.⁠
⁠

MEATLOVERS; Meet our MEAT BOARD ! 🥩⁠
⁠
Our meat board is the main dish our guests seem to love the most. It gets picked over and over again so it remains on our menu as a guests' favourite.⁠
⁠
Imagine a wide selection of premium cuts from all over the globe, served on our signature large wooden boards in the middle of your dining table. ⁠
⁠
Quite the entrance!⁠
⁠
We serve it with different sides, salads and homemade sauces - though we don't judge if you only want to try all of the different kinds of meat ;)⁠
⁠

11/08/2021

A lobster feast is the best feast! 🦞⁠

Here we paired our lobsters with homemade tarragon butter and confit tomatoes. It's part of our Surf & Turf dinner menu ⁠
⁠
We love to travel and taste all the world has to offer us. Our very first trip together (during covid season) was to the 'magnificent' coastal area of Boulogne-Sur-Mer where we discovered the local fish market is very authentic and offers loads of crabs, lobsters, shellfish and more.⁠
⁠
Another destination still on our bucket list is the 'Boston Lobster Feast'! Have any of you been?⁠

⁠
⁠

05/08/2021

We love ourselves a good mezze platter!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Here is one of our latest dishes - young carrots marinated with middle-eastern spices and homemade labneh cheese.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Did you know it is super easy to make your own labneh?⁠⁠
Just strain some Turkish or Greek yoghurt in a fine cloth overnight - Done!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What is your favourite mezze dish?

04/08/2021

Meet Dax. He loves meat.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
He loves meat so much that apart from travelling across the globe to discover new flavours and ways of grilling and preparing meat, he even went to evening school to get his butcher's diploma. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
While serving our dishes with a big smile, he loves to share his travel stories with our guests. 🌎

03/08/2021

You want to host a dinner party in your beautiful garden?⁠⁠
Or just tired of doing all the cooking?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We are happy to come to your rescue and cook for you and your guests. Just pick your favourite dishes from our menu, we come to your home and take care of the rest!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
(Yes, we even get rid of those dirty dishes ;))⁠⁠
⁠⁠

02/08/2021

You heard that right!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
As a couple, we love to spend our free time strolling around the morning markets in the city we call home; Brussels.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We are very lucky to have a wide range of fresh fish delivered to our capital, straight from the seaside and also our vegetables are coming straight from the farms to the morning market in our capital - before they are sent out to the rest of the country.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It doesn't get fresher than that!⁠⁠
⁠⁠

01/08/2021

One of our favourite products to work with are scallops. ⁠⁠
Our fish monger always provides us with the freshest ones for our dishes. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
They are actually so good, that we even like to eat them raw without any spices or even salt. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Of course we like to spice things up for our guests; so here is a version with red chili, lime and parsley. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Getting hungry? 😋⁠⁠
⁠⁠

Honey-glazed meatballs anyone? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Our special recipe includes ginger and honey, and is always a big hit at parties.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Curious about the other ingredients? ⁠⁠
You'll have to taste them yourself!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁠
⁠⁠

Can you resist the creamy taste of burrata? ⁠⁠🇮🇹

We absolutely cannot, will not, won't ever!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This creamy cheese from the region of Puglia in Italy, filled with even creamier 'stracciatella' is one of our favourites.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And of course it deserves a prominent place on our menu.⁠⁠
We have four different starters starring this cheese - pick your favourite!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Here our burrata is paired with a lavender and honey sauce - salty and sweet, just how we like it.⁠⁠
⁠⁠

29/07/2021

Good food begins with the product. ⁠⁠
That is why we only use fresh products in our kitchen!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It might take a little longer to cook, but you can definitely taste the difference!⁠⁠
⁠⁠

If you love veggies, we do too! 🍃⁠⁠
⁠⁠
There are always a lot of colourful veggies that brighten up our main dishes on our menu. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠

27/07/2021

Our chef Dax's absolute favourite dish is Zarzuela, a Spanish fish stew made with white fish, saffron, almonds and tomatoes. ⁠
⁠
Here we made our own version and added a lot of seafood and shellfish to the mix. Fingerlicking good!⁠
⁠
⁠
⁠

It's asparagus season!⁠
⁠
We love to use the greens that nature provides us with as much as possible.⁠
⁠
Take this Spring dish of burrata with three kinds of asparagus for example: green grilled asparagus, a salad of young purple asparagus and wild ones to finish the dish!⁠
⁠
These things make us happy! ⁠

Beginning 2021 in style. No words needed. 🥩

We love to travel the world to get inspired by the many cultures I come across.

But we always try to make it home for Christmas 🎄

We wouldn’t want to miss the annual family feast filled with joy, laughter and way too much food. Everyone telling stories around the dinner table and raising their glasses to new beginnings.

This year was the mini version of that feast and my love and we took charge of the dinner menu.

Be careful, you'll get hungry 😋

1. Lobster with tarragon butter - tiger prawn ravioli- lemon herb sauce
2. Tuna tartar - smoked halibut mousse
3. Burrata - lavender honey - fleur de sel
4. Oysters - two ways
5. Partridge - jerusalem artichoke - pumpkin purée - forest mushrooms - truffle
6. White chocolate cheesecake by , made by one of my sweet sisters

Dorado “firire” with a twist. Our variation on the Cameroon dish is just what you need on a hot summer night. Served with some of the sweetest fried plantains, a bit of homemade scotch bonnet hot sauce, a fresh citrus salsa & salsa roja. Bon appétit.

Look at that! My love and I are teaming up to bring you even better food!
