Most of my previous weekends have been occupied with trying out some recipes and experimenting with new ingredients, but this weekend, we went to taste some at the Taste of Amsterdam.
This four days event was basically about trying out food and learning how to make new, interesting food. We came on the last day, which appeared to be the most beautiful day of the week. The sun was shining and the temperature was perfect! So, you can imagine how packed it was.
We went around trying wine, beer, cognac, limoncello, cocktails (oh wait, it was only me that did that :P), and of course, we tried lots of food. If I still can remember (I might forget things not because the intake of the alcohol, but because the many sorts of food we could taste),
we tasted the tastiest tomato,
raw seafood mixed with red onion and lime (peruvian food),
the yummiest spare ribs,
english pie (my nostalgic snack),
biologic cookies (that cost 1 euro per cookie, yes, you read it correctly!), vegetarian sandiwich spread, margaritha pizza with truffle oil, colombian coffee, many sorts of olive oil (just knew this, loved it but the price is killing!), the tastiest bread on earth (seriously, and we bought one, which cost 6 euro per small bread :( expensive!), chai tea, chocolate mousse,... and many more.
So, this weekend has been very successfull, but too bad we couldnt join any cooking workshop, due to the crowd. Next time, for sure!
How was your weekend?
If you are curious about the biologic cookies, you should check their website Katie's Cookies. I reckon it is an interesting gift for any occassions, or just for you to nibble :)
And the English pie?? there's definitely a second purchase!! Love it! Wanna check them, go to Pieman.
