Another book in the Street Food series, full of enticing recipes and authentic photos. After my award-winning cookbooks Street Food India and Vietnam, I published Street Food Kosovo.
Sharing food is the best way to bring people together. So: invite your loved ones and treat them to a Kosovar meal! The recipes were tasted and jotted down in the homes of regular people, mostly in rural areas, although we were also allowed to take a look in the kitchens of some of the small, traditional restaurants in the capital Pristina. The result is a surprising collection of authentic Kosovar dishes. Most are vegetarian, and all meat dishes have a vegetarian alternative.
The proceeds of this book were shared with children in Kosovo who urgently need treatment for cancer: a unique collaboration between Street Food and the non-profit organization Care for Kosovo Kids.
Some flowers, steadfast and proud, still bloom as if holding onto the last remnants of summer's warmth. Others, their petals fading, bow gracefully, surrendering to the change. Yet, there is no sorrow in this slow fading; only beauty, only the richness of colors more vibrant than ever, as though nature has saved its most glorious palette for these final moments.
Today, I lowered my perspective as close to the earth as I could get, and what unfolded before me was nothing short of magic: a miniature chard forest, painted in pinks and greens, shimmering beneath the autumn light.
‘Kabinet wil uitgeprocedeerde Afrikaanse asielzoekers naar Oeganda sturen’, las ik net op de NOS app. ‘We hebben een lange relatie met Oeganda en het is een gastvrij land. En asielminister Faber gaat de mogelijkheden verder uitpluizen’, aldus Minister Klever van Buitenlandse Handel en Ontwikkelingshulp.
Ik heb een kleine kanttekening, mevrouw Klever en mevrouw Faber: De rechten van homoseksuelen in Oeganda zijn een uiterst zorgwekkend mensenrechtenvraagstuk. Oeganda staat wereldwijd bekend om zijn restrictieve en repressieve wetgeving ten aanzien van LGBTQ+-rechten, en homoseksualiteit wordt in het land als strafbaar beschouwd.
I had the pleasure of designing the foundation of Saskia’s website, and she’s personalized it beautifully to reflect her unique approach and expertise. Curious to explore her services or see the new site? You can visit it here.

HERONS' DANCE • [sound on] There’s no better way to start a grey Monday morning than watching the herons' dance in front of our house. The sun gently peeks through a light mist, casting a golden glow that gives them a fairy-tale-like appearance. Nature’s magic at its finest.
I believe it's crucial to be transparent about the nature of these images. They are AI-generated representations, not actual photographs of real individuals. This distinction is important to maintain the integrity of the campaign and respect for the people it aims to support. I've taken great care to ensure that the AI-generated images are culturally sensitive. My goal is to create respectful representations that highlight the humanity and dignity of Afghan women.
I was approached by a young woman from Australia. She asked if I had photos of her mother and grandmother, Kalbelia from Rajasthan, India. She was born from a relationship between the cheerful young woman in this series and an Australian man.
