Let me introduce you to 
my culinary crush: G A R L I C ❤️

The inspiration for ‘but first garlic’ came from a simple question: “Do you ever cook without garlic?”

Reflecting on this, I realized that for me, garlic isn’t just an ingredient. It’s the ultimate flavor enhancer in my kitchen. Whether I’m sautéing, roasting, or frying, garlic adds that irresistible punch that elevates any recipe from ordinary to extraordinary.

Through my videos, I invite you into my garlicky world, where I’ll demonstrate how to create dishes bursting with garlic goodness. 
Get ready to savor the flavors and replicate these recipes in your own kitchen! 

There’s a good chance you’ll fall in love too ❤️‍🔥

City girl on a farm 🌾

This birthday dinner for my boyfriend in the garden at @lindenhoffbaambrugge couldn’t have been better. Less than 15 minutes from home, yet it felt like we had escaped to the countryside.

Surrounded by meadows, cows, pigs, and horses, we enjoyed a delicious five-course dinner from @restaurantwils under the open sky. Pure flavors, straight from the farm. For us, this is what enjoying life looks like.

Why do I love the Greek islands? 🇬🇷

Maybe because my name, Cynthia, has Greek origins.
Maybe because of the warmth of the people.
Maybe because of the generous use of garlic in the food, and even in Greek traditions.
Maybe because of the diversity and purity of the cuisine.
Maybe because of the beautiful climate.
Maybe because of the breathtaking nature.
Maybe because of the relaxed island way of life.

I think it’s all of the above.

What my holiday in Greece looks like 🇬🇷 

12:00 — Skip breakfast and enjoy a long lunch with authentic Greek food. 

15:00 — Float in crystal-clear, salty water under the Mediterranean sun. 

19:00 — Long dinners with fresh local food, great company, and endless sea views. 

22:00 — Warm summer nights with drinks, good music, and the perfect way to end the day.

TOMATO TARTARE W/ PEACH & STRACCIATELLA 

What do you eat when it’s hot? This.❤️‍🔥

This fresh, summery dish comes together in no time. Made with just a handful of flavorful ingredients, it’s packed with flavor. Sweet honey tomatoes pair beautifully with juicy peach, mildly sharp shallot, fragrant basil, and salty capers. Finish it with creamy stracciatella and crunchy pistachios.

Delicious served with a toast of sourdough bread.

Gdańsk, this beautiful and colorful city truly surprised me in a positive way ✨It is a city with a profound history, yet nowadays it has such a peaceful and calm atmosphere. There is plenty to see and taste, from traditional restaurants to trendy restaurants. Something for everyone.

If you are looking for a great city trip destination, Gdańsk is definitely worth visiting. And don’t forget to visit the seaside town of Sopot (fish!) as well.

CHEESY GARLIC PINSA 🔥 

This pinsa with just 3 main ingredients is to die for!
Don’t be put off by the number of garlic cloves, garlic is the star of this dish. By confiting it first, it develops a deliciously sweet, soft, and mellow flavor.

How to confit garlic:
• Preheat the oven to 120°C (250°F).
• Peel 1–2 bulbs of garlic.
• Place the cloves in an ovenproof dish.
• Pour over enough olive oil to fully submerge the garlic.
• Season with salt and chili flakes.
• Cover and bake for 1.5–2 hours, until the cloves are golden and tender enough to pierce easily with a fork.

ROASTED CARROT, GARLIC & GINGER SOUP 🧡

Just a few ingredients, but packed with nutrients that are great for your body.
Carrots support your immune system, garlic helps boost immunity, ginger aids digestion, and chili flakes gives a gentle boost to your metabolism.

By roasting the onion, garlic, ginger, and carrots in the oven first, they develop a deep, sweet, and rich flavor.
Finally, a splash of orange juice and lemon juice is added for a fresh, slightly tangy finish.

A simple soup made with pure ingredients and a deep, heartwarming flavor 🔥
