"色気より食い気. Food before romance."
- Hoping this doesn't say Chicken Soup instead
Wait, not only Dutchies and Americans love their pancakes?
What’s the first thing that pops to your mind when you hear Japan? Maybe it’s Fuji (mountain or water), maybe it’s the beautiful cherry blossom trees, Samurai anybody? Or Geishas a.k.a. an all-time favorite Disney movie, Mulan? Whatever it is, this time we want to bring you a recipe which we first enjoyed at a brunch place in Amsterdam. Okonomiyaki, which is a savory Japanese pancake, has been holding it’s number 1 spot for Agnes lunch choices for the past 2 weeks (yes, it is all about variety guys, but just try it and we will talk again). Even though we haven't had the pleasure to travel to Japan, it is in the top 5 of our travel bucket list. Once we make it, we will report back if our recipe holds any resemblance to the real deal, but until then...
