What does your home taste like? 

Sometimes I feel the world has lost touch with it's roots. We're combining goat's cheese with caramel and roasted strawberries in a cheesecake (I made that once), but nobody seems to remember how to make an original pound cake (hint: it's a pound of every ingredient). People buy fig bars with cacao and pistachio's, but need to rely on their grandmother for a real apple pie. When did we loose touch with our roots?

So that's what I blog about: basic recipes, techniques and traditional food from all over the world. I love exploring different cultures, eating habits and food traditions from different countries. On top of that, I want to focus on the sweet side of life.

I'm Siv. I love to bake and play around with my camera and experiment in the kitchen. I'm a curious sorts of person by nature. I like to know how, and when, and what, and most importantly WHY. I love going exploring and I do so very much enjoy going for tea or coffee. Quite ironically, I'm also quite an introvert and don't go out much (also I can't have caffeine). I like to think it explains my lack of social media skills, which seems to be a crime these days. I've lived in The Netherlands, Thailand, Northern Ireland, Holland and Greece. There's such vast difference between the food cultures in these countries it keeps amazing me. And it inspires me every time again to make something that makes others feel home.
