Picture of dish by Fenny!I come from a family in which every member is connected to the food or wine in a way. Either preparing or enjoying it. Since last year our family is extended with a cooking princess from Indonesia, her name is Fenny. This means a vast extension of our daily menus with all kind of exotic dishes. Apart from cooking Fenny dedicates her time to architecture, teaching and writing a blog on her experiences in Holland www.typicalnl.wordpress.com As promised I put a recipe she sent me on my blog. It is called Daging tumis paprika. No wine suggestion. To pair this dish I would suggest the thing all Dutch men do, a cold beer!
