hip & hot magazine invited us to create some valentine dishes for their january issue. the result: the following three dishes, in which the colour of love & warmth is leading:

• love = comfortable but slightly different: bitterbal with a filling of red cabbage stew on a salate of marinated red cabbage with a few mushrooms.
• love = sharing everything: long pasta ribbons  with a ‘pesto’ of red beets, walnuts and dill.
• love = warmth: chocolate bonbons with a filling of marinated pears and a sirup of red port.

the recipes (eric), the styling and photography (marjolein).
