local saturday market

Saturday morning.

An early visit to the local market for fresh vegetables and flowers.

We chose anemones for the kitchen table.
Ingredients for tonight's tajine; carrots, fennel, sweet colored peppers, potatoes, snow peas, garlic olives, a preserved salted lemon and chicken.
Fresh figs and chocolate for dessert.

Today Dietske, owner of the coolest house in Amsterdam East, will visit us. She is a sweetheart, whom I met in May as a participant of the Green Gardens workshop in Marrakech. We obviously cook a proper moroccan meal for her. Tajine is already simmering on the stove...

keen on flowers and plants

This whole week I've enjoyed the spring flowers in the kitchen.
The flowers I got from my friend Rosa last Friday. Together with my daughter, she chose the spring beauties, in the flower shop where Pippa works.
They know what I like...

In an interview for Home & Garden, I once said, I'm not too keen on houseplants, but crazy about flowers. Plants and flowers get along fine together in our house nowadays. The reason I prefered flowers, was because they are gone after a week and it's time for something new.

You know by now, that I have revised my opinion about houseplants and I still get overjoyed by fresh flowers.
