Delicious food shopping at Haarlemmerstraat and Haarlemmerdijk

Although I love to look at the new collections coming in almost daily at all the beautiful shop on Haarlemmerdijk and Haarlemmerstraat I love this area to shop on Saturday mornings in combination with a visit to the Noordermarkt or just for some groceries on a late Saturday afternoon. 

Bilder and the Clercq | Recipes & ingredients for great diner inspirations

I love good food and the new food chains popping up around town. Especially if they have their own concept! Bilder & De Clercq was invented by Leopold and Rogier Diederik van Gelder. Every day they asked themselves the question, "What shall we eat tonight?" Finding the right ingredients around town was a struggle sometimes and they thought the large quantities you have to buy at the grocery store of which at the end of the week half disappears into the trash are a waste.

At the De Clercq straat / corner Bilderdijkstraat they opened a fresh looking store where they provide recipes and all the ingredients needed to prepare that one dish clearly presented with the average price per portion on a table in exactly the right quantities. There 14 different recipes, and 3 new ones every week. A small Coffee corner and a collection of the essential kitchen supplies

SLA Amsterdam | New Salad bar at Westerstraat

With an all new Salad bar | the first can be found at Ceintuurbaan 149 | Pijp Area| and more planned, SLA opened it second Salad bar at Westerstraat 34 | Noordermarkt area | this week. I had the pleasure to have a late lunch there today and enjoyed a great salad and a delicious avocado smoothie. Definitely a place I would recommend if you are exploring the area and looking for a healthy lunch break... just have a look at the menu and see for yourself! 

Vegan & Vegetarian takeaway | CLOSED

It is not that I have started to write about coffee and Vegetarian food & takeaway's suddenly. But I happen to love both and with opening a vegetarian butcher in my own neighborhood I thought I should check out the opening party of the Vegetarische slager The Vegetarian Butcher produces vegetarian meat from soybean and lupin that is sold world wide and can also be found in a number of supermarkets.
