Lobster Thermidor

January 4, 2021January 4, 2021 StefanGourmet

Lobster Thermidor is a classic French dish that I had not prepared before. Now I regret that, because it is really delicious and I will definitely make it again. As I am somewhat of an ‘adopted Italian’, I don’t tend … Continue reading Lobster Thermidor

Simple Shahi Salmon

November 20, 2016November 20, 2016 StefanGourmet

I’ve just returned from a short business trip to Bombay in India. There wasn’t time for any specific food research, but I did enjoy the food immensely and even tried Indian wine for the first time (which was unexpectedly good). … Continue reading Simple Shahi Salmon

Venison Pasta Sauce (Ragù di Cervo)

November 5, 2016November 5, 2016 StefanGourmet

Making traditional Italian venison pasta sauce is pretty straightforward, but it does require some patience because of the long cooking time involved. As you only have to stir every half hour or so, this is a perfect sauce to prepare during … Continue reading Venison Pasta Sauce (Ragù di Cervo)

Leek Royale (Royale de Poireaux)

October 17, 2016 StefanGourmet

Many recipes tell you to use the white part of leeks, so my attention was caught at once when Elie wrote about Leek Royale on his blog Oven-Dried Tomatoes. Royale de Poireaux is a French side dish that is essentially … Continue reading Leek Royale (Royale de Poireaux)

August 7, 2016August 7, 2016 StefanGourmet

There is already a recipe for smoked salmon ravioli on this blog, but that one is for hot smoked salmon. Today’s post is about cold smoked salmon.

Passion Fruit Crème Brûlée

May 23, 2016May 23, 2016 StefanGourmet

When I posted my recipe for crème brûlée, I got suggestions to try white chocolate creme brulee (which I did and liked) and passion fruit creme brulee as well. Blogging is a continuing source of inspiration for my cooking, and … Continue reading Passion Fruit Crème Brûlée

White Chocolate Crème Brûlée

April 27, 2016April 27, 2016 StefanGourmet

When I posted my recipe for regular crème brûlée, CampariGirl suggested I should try making it with passion fruit or white chocolate. Since passion fruit appears to be out of season, I opted to make it with white chocolate. White chocolate … Continue reading White Chocolate Crème Brûlée

Crème Brûlée

January 18, 2016May 16, 2016 StefanGourmet

Crème Brûlée is one of the best known and most delicious of French desserts. I used to make it often about a decade ago, long before I started blogging. Back then I made it so often that I got tired … Continue reading Crème Brûlée

Spaghetti with Sausage and Cream (Spaghetti Salsiccia e Panna)

December 6, 2015December 6, 2015 StefanGourmet

A simple classic from Italian kitchens: spaghetti with sausage and cream. This comfort food is even more simple than pasta with sausage and bell pepper, or with porcini, sausage, and cream. And it can be prepared in the time it … Continue reading Spaghetti with Sausage and Cream (Spaghetti Salsiccia e Panna)

Fresh Fig Ice Cream (Gelato di Fichi)

November 21, 2015 StefanGourmet

Fresh figs have to be imported and because they are quite perishable they are not often of a great quality, but sometimes some nice figs are available in the Netherlands. A nice way to use them is to make ice … Continue reading Fresh Fig Ice Cream (Gelato di Fichi)

September 22, 2015September 22, 2015 StefanGourmet

It is time for another quick pasta dish. One of those that takes about as long as is needed to cook the pasta. It took me 22 minutes to cook this dish from start to finish, including taking all the … Continue reading Pasta with Sausage and Bell Pepper (Fusilli Salsiccia e Peperone)

Scampi with Orange, Cream, and Fennel

June 11, 2015June 11, 2015 StefanGourmet

Scampi (langoustines) are caught locally here, but most of them get exported. Luckily I work very close to the Albert Cuyp market, which has an excellent selection of fresh seafood. Silva Rigobello has been posting a number of scampi recipes … Continue reading Scampi with Orange, Cream, and Fennel

Fusilli with Crab and Fennel

December 6, 2014 StefanGourmet

Although crab and fennel are perhaps not ingredients you use on an every day basis, this is one of those pasta dishes that can be prepared in half an hour and is thus perfectly suited for a weekday meal. That … Continue reading Fusilli with Crab and Fennel

Shrimp Ravioli (Ravioli ai Gamberoni)

October 18, 2014November 19, 2014 StefanGourmet

Homemade ravioli are my specialty. I love to serve them at dinner parties and delight my guests with those parcels of delicate pasta with a scrumptious stuffing. The keys to good ravioli are to make the pasta as thin as … Continue reading Shrimp Ravioli (Ravioli ai Gamberoni)

Chicken with Chipotle and Mushrooms (Pollo con Chipotle y Champiñones)

October 1, 2014October 1, 2014 StefanGourmet

What many of us know as ‘Mexican food’, is actually Tex-Mex or another Americanized version of Mexican food. And so I was very excited when I was invited to a party of my new Mexican friend Alain, for which he … Continue reading Chicken with Chipotle and Mushrooms (Pollo con Chipotle y Champiñones)

Homemade Pistachio Ice Cream

September 5, 2014 StefanGourmet

One of the ways to recognize ice cream with natural ingredients is by the color of pistachio ice cream. You see, the natural color of pistachio ice cream is brownish green, so when it looks bright green it means that … Continue reading Homemade Pistachio Ice Cream
