Becoming a foodie

The Amsterdam Foodie grew up in the Berkshire countryside of southern England. When she was 11, during one school holiday, her Dad gave her a pound a day to buy lunch. The first day, she walked to the village and came back with a tin of Heinz ravioli in sauce. It was officially revolting. The second day, she bought a packet of pasta; the third day, a bag of fresh tomatoes; the fourth, peppers and garlic. By the end of the week, she had enough meals to last a week and money left over. She didn’t know it at the time, but she’d become a foodie…

Hi Vicky

Cheers for the comment on my World Cup Film (http://www.roamingfocus.com/?p=51)
Will definitely check out your site when visiting Amsterdam, and for general recipe ideas. If you need any food filming done let me know! (Sorry couldn’t put this in email, but am using web mail and your email link brings up an email client app, which I don’t have at the moment…)

Thanks

Matt

Hi Vicky,
Had to write to you after your latest batch of reviews. Glad you liked Café Toussaint, it’s my regular haunt for Sunday lunch. They do great sandwiches and tapas during the day. De Koevoet is great too, much better than some of the other more popular Italian places like D’Antica. And I agree with you 1000% about ctaste. Went there in February and had exactly the same experience. Should’ve warned you. Sorry.
cheers,
Francis

Hello Vicky,
I’m an italian foodie as well lost in Amsterdam and in continuous research of new emotions! I discovered your blog by chance and I’m willing to read all your posts to get perfectly informed! You’re doing a great job! Cheers,
Veronica
