You’re well aware that I love eggs. What the chef likes, the chef cooks. So here’s ANOTHER egg recipe, called eggs in pots. Cream, cheese and eggs, a very French recipe and therefore likely to be delicious. This French classic is usually served for breakfast because it’s to be spooned and also dippable with bread …
When I cook rice it’s enough to feed an army. I love having leftover rice, there’s so much you can do with it: a salad, easy rice pudding, fried rice… And I particularly love the latter. The grains have dried which means they absorb taste more easily than freshly boiled rice. And of course, they …
This is a very special dish. My dad introduced us to it years ago in a bout of nostalgia. Its original West-Flemish name is impossible to translate but it’s something like ‘egg stompers in mush sauce’. Yes, we were a bit suspicious when he brought it up. We liked his eggs in tomato sauce fine, …
In the beginnings of my being active on Instagram, one of my single followers posted Shakshuka. I had never heard of it before and my interest was instantly peaked. Shame on me, because I soon discovered that it’s a hugely popular dish. The origins of the dish aren’t very clear (Tunisia, Yemen,…?), but what I …
At uni, I used to make quiches to finish off leftovers. I’d buy some ready-made puff pastry dough, threw all the leftovers on and ate quiche for three days straight. Yes, it’s good, but a full cake tin’s worth is just too much for one person. In other words: not single-proof! Claudia’s savoury muffins inspired …
For Singlemade-tester Beau the ultimate Sunday joy is… brunch! She and her roommate Nousjka developed a brunch recipe for beetroot pancakes, garnished with feta cheese, walnuts, mint and bacon bits. They take some effort, but that’s all part of the Sunday ritual: sleeping in, cooking together and having an elaborate meal. Mouthwatering stuff, so we …

Our dad spent his formative years in a boarding school run by priests. So we were raised on his stories about how awful life was over there. Not just because the priests were incredibly strict, but also because the food was terrible! Every friday, when our dad came home, grandma asked him what he wanted …
Stiene’s uncle is the proud owner of industrious chickens that lay about 40 eggs a day. He lets his cousin share in the spoils and therefore Stiene’s fridge is overflowing with eggs. So she asked Singlemade for inspiration. We’ll start with an old standard: Scotch eggs. Usually served with tomato sauce, we’ll change things up …
The other day I threw out about two-thirds of my cooking books, because we were moving house. But there were two little children’s cookbooks I couldn’t part with. Those two little books kindled my love for cooking, or at least, for baking, because they are filled with sponge cakes, pancakes and cookies. I still reach …
