This is your ticket to Japan without taking a plane 🥢 @tewatashi.ams in De Pijp serves an authentic Edo-Mae Sushi Experience and is super consistent in their quality. It's the place we keep going back to when we have something to celebrate <3. In this video I'm sharing the 2 hour experience in 60 seconds. Still dreaming about the buttery ika nigiri. 🤤 ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck { one of the best authentic Japanese restaurants in Amsterdam serving premium sushi omakase in De Pijp }

A grandma's cookbook. 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 don't cook based on trends; they cook based on 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 pâté 🍴 Dry-aged Duck TIP: When you go to Sühring, reserve seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work! Follow @yourlbb for more tips you can trust. ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck #prinvited #bangkok #michelin #relaischateaux In this reels, I take you along for fine dining in Bangkok at the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Sühring.
This is one of the best free outings in the spring! Did you know that you can gather (or pick, for the connoisseurs 😉) oysters yourself at various locations in the Netherlands? I’m in Zeeland for a bit this weekend, and if we can make it, we’ll go again. 📍In this video, I show you where you can fill your bucket. Comment *oester* for the comprehensive guide with all the 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 seabed – Go at low tide Handy things to bring: Bucket, screwdriver, boots, work gloves, tea towel, clean clothes, and garbage bags (for the oysters *and* dirty clothes). And of course: bring an oyster knife, lemon, and champagne too 🍋🥂 Because you’ll want to taste something right away, won’t you! 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. Comment oyster and I'll send it to you right away! Who do you want to go oyster gathering with soon? ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 These are those few magical weeks each year when the city suddenly feels different. Everything is in bloom and all you want to do is be outside. Coffee to-go in hand, and just head out as soon as the sun shows up. 📍 Bloesempark – Amsterdamse Bos (the classic, yes it gets busy, but totally worth it) 📍 Rijksmuseum 📍 Fruit Garden of West 📍 Westerpark 📍 Jozef Israëlskade 📍 WG site 📍 Nelson Mandelapark 📍 Bos en Lommerplantsoen 📍Amstelpark By mid-April most of the sakura will already be gone, so if you want to catch it: this is your moment. I'll definitely be doing a few more rounds before it's over. ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck _______________________________________________ 🌸 Discover the best places to spot cherry blossom in Amsterdam and enjoy the sakura in full bloom. 🌸

Recipe: Pie with chicken, leek and cream cheese

Suitable for: 4 persons
Ingredients for the dough:
300 gr flour
1 tsp salt
125 g butter, cold
1 egg
70 ml cold water
2 tsp vinegar

Ingredients for the filling:
750 g chicken thigh fillet, cut into pieces 2 leeks, cut into rings
Herb cream cheese
Salt and pepper

Additional required:
4 tbsp breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
Olive oil, for frying
Butter, for greasing
Flower, for the worktop

Chicken, Leek and Cream Cheese Pie Recipe: How to Make It

  1. Combine the flour and salt in a bowl (or in a food processor with blades). Cut the cold butter into cubes of about 1 by 1 centimeter and mix it into the flour. Rub it in with your fingers until crumbly. Add the egg, water, and vinegar and mix briefly, until the dough comes together into a ball. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. Don't over-knead! Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Season the chicken thigh pieces with salt and pepper and sauté them for a few minutes in a drizzle of olive oil. Add the leek and cook over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken and leek to a colander and let it cool and drain. Then transfer the mixture to a bowl and toss with the herbed cream cheese.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200°C and grease a pie shape of about 25 centimeters in with butter.
  4. Roll out half of the dough on a lightly floured surface and line the tin with it. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the base and spoon the chicken and leek filling on top. Gently press the filling down.
  5. Roll out the remaining dough to a thickness of 3 to 4 millimeters and cut into strips about 2 centimeters wide. Arrange these strips in a grid over the filling and brush the dough with the beaten egg. Bake the pie for 45 to 55 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm or lukewarm.
