Breakfast at Fayme's X Spice Up Your Life

Recently I got the opportunity to guest post for "Spice up your life" a fun food blog by Tiara, a fellow Yu'i Korsou (Curaçao native).

Tiara likes to experiment with different ingredients and spices. She shares all things food, from different countries and kitchens. From healthy smoothies to hearty comfort food.

I was planning on sharing my croissants recipe I learnt in Paris, however I like things easy... and this 48 hour recipe is not exactly my everyday thing, instead I shared some other food related tips in my guest post for "Spice Up Your Life"

My top 3 places to eat croissants in Amsterdam;

Croissanterie Egstrof http://www.yelp.com/biz/croissanterie-egstorf-amsterdam

Simon Meijssen http://www.simonmeijssen.nl

Blauwe theehuis http://www.blauwetheehuis.nl

I would like to share an easy and fun pastry fold that you could do with a store bought puff pastry.

Making a simple fold over pastry

1. Cut a "V" (about a finger width from the edge) in one corner of the square puff pastry then mirror that at the other side.
2. Fold over the outer corner from one side to the other and repeat (folding the other side over the folded side) to the other inside corner.

Et Voila! Thanks Tiara for my guest post!

Kitchens on Wheels

Yesterday we went to "Rollende Keukens" which is a food festival with kitchens on wheels. There are different cuisine's, coffee specialists, creperies, tapas bars, a foodies heaven! Also awesome live music and a great atmosphere. It runs till Sunday may 12th, so if you are in Amsterdam it's definitely worth to go there, and remember; Don't eat before you go!

I believe they serve horse burgers here.... which is the new meat just ask UFC fighter Alistair Overeem. The cutest little Italian coffee car-bar on the picture below.

Stylish details....

Stripes & Florals

Finally got to wear a pair of shorts this weekend, besides the wind it was a gorgeous day. We spent the day roaming a flea market and having drinks at a place called "Pllek" and "Noorderlicht" These are two cool places on the other side of the water overlooking the city of Amsterdam. If you are in Amsterdam this summer, make sure to take a ay to relax at either one of these places!
