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!

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

Chickpea quiche recipe with beetroot, feta and rosemary:

This is how you make it

For the bottom:

  1. Drain the chickpeas, rinse them and let them drain well.
  2. Put the oatmeal in a food processor and grind into a fine flour.
  3. Add the chickpeas, oil, and salt. Mix until smooth.
  4. Press the dough by hand into a greased pan with a diameter of about 24 cm. Make sure the base isn't too thin and that there's a raised edge. Use a strip of aluminum foil, cut to size, to reinforce the inside of the pan to prevent it from collapsing.
  5. Place the tin in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  7. Bake the quiche base in the lower rack of the oven for about 30 minutes. Let it cool completely before filling and baking.

For the filling:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Place the beets on a baking sheet. Bake them in the middle of the oven for about 45 minutes or until tender (they can be baked at the same time as the quiche dish (baked). Let them cool and then peel them. Cut the beets in half.
  3. Increase the oven temperature to 225°C.
  4. Divide half of the beets, onion and kale over the quiche base.
  5. Whisk the yogurt, eggs, honey, cheese, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour the batter into the quiche pan.
  6. Now add the remaining beets, onion and kale to the dish. Crumble the
    feta on top.
  7. Bake the quiche in the middle of the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the quiche has a nice brown color.
