Asparagus Quiche

Image of Dutch Asparagus QuicheAsparagus is in season until the end of June. The Dutch do not traditionally eat asparagus after St. John's on June 24. In the few weeks that asparagus is still at its best, why not try this substantial asparagus quiche? Packed with ham and leeks and with an attractive 'wheel' of asparagus on the top, this quiche can be eaten hot for dinner or cold for lunch the next day. Serve it with a crispy green salad for a light summery meal.

Simply leave out the ham to make this quiche suitable for vegetarians.

Chocolate Mousse: Hemelse Modder
Image of Dutch Chocolate MousseLooking for something special for Mother's Day? Or an easy, make-in-advance dessert for your dinner guests? Why not try this luxurious chocolate mousse, made with bitter chocolate and egg whites?

The Dutch name, hemelse modder, translates literally as heavenly mud. As the name suggests, although this dessert takes only 20 minutes to make (plus cooling time in the fridge), it is indeed heavenly and never fails to impress.
