@eetcafe_de_reiger is the spot to remember.
Cozy, casual, and a seasonal menu. This one was on my list to share for a year and finally it's (almost) asparagus season again! 🤤
Another plus? Prices are very reasonable here!
📍 Eetcafé de Reiger
Jordaan, Amsterdam City Centre
Save this spot for when you're craving warm Dutch traditional dishes in the heart of Amsterdam.
And did you hear the same team took over Eetcafé van Beeren? I can't wait to go there too!

A cookbook from Grandma. Three Michelin stars. And a beautiful 70s villa in a quiet neighborhood in Bangkok, where you are welcomed as if you were at the chefs' home.
The Sühring brothers do not cook based on trends; they cook from memories. Of their grandmother's farm, of the flavors of their youth in Germany, and of techniques passed down through generations.
@relaischateaux invited me to experience Sühring during a solo lunch, and this is truly my ultimate definition of culinary self-care.
This was a surprising afternoon in Bangkok, where I ate the best German food I have ever tasted. And that in a city where I normally avoid European restaurants. Well, for @restaurant_suhring, you really want to make that exception.
Signature dishes that I still think back to regularly?
🍴 Labskaus with caviar
🍴 Enleta waffle with Pfalz vinegar
🍴 Game pie
🍴 Dry aged Duck
TIP: If you go to Sühring, reserve the seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work!

In this reels I take you along for fine dining in Bangkok at the three Michelin starred restaurant Sühring.
This is one of the nicest free outings in the spring! Did you know that you can gather (or pick, for the connoisseurs 😉) oysters yourself in various places in the Netherlands? I’m in Zeeland for a bit this weekend, and if we can, we’ll go again.
📍In this video, I show where you can fill your bucket.
Comment oester for the comprehensive guide with all details about all 8 locations + handy tips and rules.
Important to know:
– Max. 10 kilos per person (≈ 1 bucket)
– For personal use only
– Do not scoop or scrape the soil
– Go at low tide
Handy to take with you:
Bucket, screwdriver, boots, work gloves, tea towel, clean clothes and garbage bags (for the oysters and dirty clothes).
And of course: also bring an oyster knife, lemon and champagne 🍋🥂Because you want to taste something right away!
The oyster season runs from September to about April / early May, so now that the water isn't so cold, this is the perfect outing.
In the full guide, I share exactly where you can easily find them without much effort. Leave a comment and I'll send it to you right away!
Who do you want to go oyster collecting with soon?

This is one of those weekends where your only problem is how you're going to fit everything into this last weekend of March (yes already?!).
From a free event to try new Limited Subs at @ijveramsterdam to slow mornings, a market stroll (or two), maybe finally ticking off that new restaurant that's been on your list for weeks… and ending somewhere with a good glass of wine while telling yourself “just one more” 😉

Not too big,
everything within walking distance,
But plenty of nice hotspots!!
These services (and what clothing) are in the Netherlands perfuse for you to tip this line!
I've got massive spring fever, so it's time for a mini-escape: everything is within walking distance, there are lovely coffee shops, boutiques for shopping, and enough gems to discover in 48 hours ✨
Which city is at the top of your list for a spring getaway?

It wouldn't be Amsterdam if the weekend wasn't packed with plans. Spring is in the air and I feel like new hotspots are popping up all over the city. HELLO @ottolenghi & @ottolenghi_amsterdam :-)
And yes, market season is officially back. Think vintage finds, design treasures and sunny terrace stops in between.
Plus, plenty of feel-good plans: from a Korean Sunday brunch @nikotin.restobar to a kid-proof pizza nights.

Recipe: Paella Valenciana
Suitable for: 3 to 4 persons
You need:
1 bunch of saffron (approx. 10-20 threads)
150 g string beans
1 ripe tomato
2 garlic cloves
250 g chicken thighs
50 ml olive oil
Salt
50 g large canned white beans
1 tsp pimentón
1 bag of paella spices (3 g)
500 ml of warm water
200 g paella rice
3 sprigs of rosemary
1 lemon
Optional: 8 frozen snails with herb butter
Paella Valenciana Recipe: How to Make It
- Mix the saffron sprig with 2 tablespoons of water and microwave for 20 seconds. This will enhance the flavor and color.
- Chop or break the French beans into coarse pieces of about 4 cm. Grate the tomato. Crush the garlic cloves and chop them into small pieces. Cut the chicken thighs into pieces of about 3 cm and season with salt to taste.
- Heat the olive oil in a (paella) pan with a pinch of salt to prevent splattering. Cook the chicken pieces over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Add the French beans, white beans, chopped garlic, grated tomato, pimentón, and paella spices. Reduce the heat and mix well. Pour in 500 ml of warm water and simmer gently for 20 minutes over low heat (or less: the key is to give the flavors time to meld).
- Taste for salt and adjust seasoning. Add the saffron. Gently stir the rice into the broth. Increase the heat and simmer the rice mixture for 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender. If necessary, add a little more water (about 100 ml) halfway through cooking. Sprinkle the rosemary sprigs on top. Do not stir! It's important that all the water has evaporated by the time the rice is al dente. The grains should feel dry and loose.
- If using snails, preheat the oven halfway through cooking the paella and cook them according to the package directions.
- For a crispy base (socarrat), drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the rice. Turn the heat to high for 1 minute. The oil will sink to the bottom, further frying the rice. Turn off the heat and cover the paella with newspaper. Let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
