Vanilla Extract
You know pure vanilla extract is not cheap. It’s cheaper to make it yourself. You only need two ingredients, Vodka and vanilla beans, my choice is Madagascar Vanilla Beans. If you make this right about now, you will have a nice supply for Christmas and give it as a gift.
Wentelteefje
‘Wentelteefjes’ literally translated in English is ‘Turning Bitches’. Where does the name come from and what are they called elsewhere? The old Dutch word ‘ Wentelteefjes ‘ can indeed be traced back. ‘Wentel’ comes from the word ‘turn around’, so to turn around. ‘Teefje’ is a word that used to be used as the predecessor of the word ‘pastry’. Teefje is also a female dog.
In English ‘Wentelteefjes’ called ‘French Toast’. There are several stories about the origin of this name. The most surprising is the claim that this name has been assigned to this dish because the word ‘French’ ensured a more luxurious look. This way the chefs could ask more money for the dish.
French toast is definitely not the French name for French toast. In France they call them ‘Pain Perdu’. The literal translation of this is ‘lost bread’, so stale bread. This in turn links to the discovery that the Romans once made and sealed the ‘lost bread’ as tasty. They have also been the creators of this recipe
Ingredients
- Stale Bread
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla (optional)
- Butter
Instructions
- You know how it is, sometimes you make too much bread. One of the things you can do with it, is make “Wentelteefjes’. Cut thick slices of bread( if you don’t have home made bread, get the Texas toast). Some people will cut the crust off, I don’t.
- Put the milk, in a bowl and add 1 egg, cinnamon and sugar. Optional you can add vanilla. Whisk well. Let the bread soak for a few minutes. Then add butter to your skillet and fry the bread on both sides. You can top it with for example with sugar, syrup, butter and fruit of your choice.

Bowl
Bowl is a rich fruit-filled drink that was often served in the Netherlands at parties in a large glass bowl. When I grew up in the 70’s I remember that we always had some kind of “bowl” at the adult birthday parties. The one my mom used to make was without alcohol, so all of us could enjoy it.
Restaurant Style Salsa
If you have been to a Tex-Mex restaurants you will always get free salsa with tortilla chips. And sometimes you get really good salsa and other times not so good. Well this recipe is better then the Restaurant Salsa. What is Salsa? literally, the word means sauce. But unlike traditional sauces, salsa has become a condiment, a dip, even a food in its own right. Unlike béchamel, a traditional sauce, and ketchup, a traditional condiment, you might eat salsa as a side dish, with a spoon or a fork.
