This summer in Netherlands is beyond all expectations. Everyone admits. It’s not the sunny days that make the difference, it’s the fact that they last and they come the one after the other for a long time. “Like Greece right?” my colleagues tell me at work. I smile at them, not having the right words to explain. How can you explain home? And then where is ‘home’ really? Tough question, different answers from each one of us. For me, ‘home’ is partially built from memories, most of them tied to food recipes..
