Sara's Pancake House

On a trip to Amsterdam last month, my sweet-toothed Boyfriend suggested we take a trip to the local pancake house for Breakie in true Dutch style.
Now, I am by far the biggest pancake fan, but I can confirm that these bad boy's are in fact God's gift to the world... or at least Sara's gift to the world, who could be seen single-handedly flipping pancakes for all of the diners!


My boyfriend had a unique combo of banana and bacon, which evidently he drizzled in maple syrup. I however, after much deliberation (the menu is massive) opted for the "Hawaiian Pancake", which consisted of banana, pineapple, coconut ice-cream, whipped cream and some bright green liquor!


If in Amsterdam, I strongly recommend Sara's Pancake House!

A Lazy Lunch

I'm a massive fan of the old chorizo sausage... I'd even go as far as to say it's one of my Top 5 Meats! Of course the shop-bought, thinly sliced stuff is a far cry from the amazingly smokey whole sausage you can buy, but sometimes, when my local supermarket doesn't seem all that local and even the trip to the Tesco Metro opposite makes me whinge, I will compromise.
For this nicely filling, lazy lunch, you'll need:

  • A bit of crusty French stick
  • Mozzarella (I went for the less fat one, woop woop!)
  • Chorizo slices
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt & Peps
  • Some salad of your choice (I went for rocket & babyleaf, with cherry tomatoes, dressed in Extra Virgin)
I'm not going to lie... It's pretty simple. I just grilled the French stick with a drizzle of Extra Virgin and Salt & Peps and grilled for 2 minutes. Added the Mozzarella on top and grilled for a further 3. Added the Chorizo and grilled for 3 minutes whilst preparing your simple salad. That really is it.

Enjoy being lazy.
