In the cookbook Masterclass Dips Ramon Brugman shares his insights into dips from over twenty different countries. From classic dips to innovative recipes, and of course, delicious dips that pair well with the various dips in the cookbook. This classic recipe is ideal for making at home, as the aioli is a favorite among many. Delicious on a baguette, toast, or even for dipping calamari, for example. Happy cooking!

Come with me to get breakfast in Taipei 🥢 Straight from the airport to this little spot to taste soup dumplings and so much more! That's what I call a soft landing 😉
Just back from Catalonia and I thought: I'll share some tips right away. During our road trip, we stayed two nights in the Ebro Delta. An incredibly fun stop for families and foodies alike, where there is plenty to do. · A boat trip to the Musclarium is a must! Here you eat oysters and mussels straight from the farm, in the middle of the sea. · Admire the flamingos and black ibises that can be found here all year round. · Rice is grown in the Ebro Delta all year round. For paella, but Kensho also makes sake and miso from it! You can visit them during a tasting. · Cycling along the rice fields, canoeing on the Ebro River, and visiting various beaches. It was still a bit too cold now, but there is plenty to do. · The towns are very low-key and not that exciting, but you can find fantastic local food there. From the Michelin-awarded Les Moles* to local eateries like Vermuteria Bonmarisc and Lo Tinglado. We ate a lot of fish, but also anemone fritters (a first!). Now back to work, and I’m going to create an extensive travel guide of this road trip through Catalonia, but you’ll want to save these tips for a future adventure. ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck { In this post, I share tips for the Ebro Delta in Spain (Delta de l'Ebre).

Recipe: aioli

You need:
2 garlic cloves
150 g mayonnaise
50 g fresh cream
1 lemon
5 drops Tabasco
Olive oil
Salt

Aioli Recipe: How to Make It

  1. Peel the garlic and sprinkle it with salt. Mince it finely. Because you've salted it, you'll notice the garlic becomes a little wet. When this happens, crush it with the side of your knife. This will create a garlic purée.
  2. Mix the garlic with the mayonnaise and crème fraîche. Squeeze the lemon over it. If the lemon is very juicy, use half. Add the Tabasco sauce and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir well. Season with a pinch of salt, if desired.
