Fruit salad is one of the easiest desserts to make and takes almost no time to prepare. Everybody has a preference or favourite fruit, what is your favourite mix? Or do you have a secret ingredient that makes the salad special? My husband always add a couple of tablespoons of Tunisian Rose water or Orange-Blossom water. It took me a while to appreciate the somewhat unusual taste but now I love it too!

If you are looking for a new snack, head to your local Chinese supermarket and search for dried mangoes! Our favourite brand is this one on the left, you can of course try other brands but this one is is to die for, seriously addictive.

When I buy this and my eldest daughter and or husband see it, I know already the pack will be empty in minutes. Although the mangoes are heavily sugared they aren’t too tough to eat and  you will also have eaten the whole pack before you know it!

Ingredients
1 pack puff pastry
100 gr grated cheese
Heinz tomato ketchup
1 beaten egg
sesame seeds

Method
Heat the oven to 220°C. Prepare a baking sheet with a sheet of baking paper. Let the puff pastry thaw until ready to use. Spread a layer of tomato sauce on half of the puff pasty squares, sprinkle a layer of cheese on the sauce. Place the remaining layers of puff pastry over the others and slight press them down. Cut each square into 4 strips, twisting each strip before placing them on the baking sheet. Coat each cheese twist with the beaten egg, sprinkle some sesame seeds over the twists and bake until golden brown.

Koek en Chocolade is seriously the best chocolate in town!! The secret is that these delicious tasty chocolate treats are handmade and of high quality. I had to hide the box of chocolate that I recently received from my husband, he was spellbound by the taste and wouldn’t stop eating them!

Good news for those living in The Netherlands, besides a store in the Frederikstraat in The Hague there are also shops in Laren and Utrecht. Looking for a gift? Buy a box of koek en chocolade, you can’t go wrong.
