Moroccan fish dinner
Recently we went out to celebrate the submission of a PhD thesis. We went to a Moroccan fish restaurant, L'Océan (Av. Stalingrad 94 in Brussels, near the South/Midi railway station).
This is the view from the window.
You can choose the fish that you want to eat.
It comes with salad
and paella
and finally the fish appeared too.
Afterwards we got mint tea
and then we still managed a small dessert from the pastry shop next door.

What a great selection of pictures! It's really great to be able to savor this night again.
Cooking is a way of relaxing for me.
Already as a kid I loved food. I had a sweet tooth and I started making desserts and baking all kinds of cakes, cookies, pies and pizza.
I taught myself as my mother wasn’t very much into desserts.
My grandfather was though, and we wrote to each other exchanging recipes. After his death my grandmother gave me his notebook with dessert recipes.
Most of my mother’s family are real foodies and very good cooks.
My cooking is not very sophisticated. I like to use good quality ingredients, preferably typical for the season and even better still, coming from someone’s garden.
A few favourites are: pumpkin, sweet potato, Jerusalem artichoke, chestnuts, quince and also really basic ones like potatoes and onion.
I like to make stews, broths and soups.
I still bake occasionally, once in a while something spectacular for which the dough needs to rise for hours.
My cooking bible is Claudia Roden’s ‘The book of Jewish food’, which is popular with my friends and family. It’s a neverending resource of recipes from all over the world, also with less common ingredients, and every dish just tastes delicious.
