‘The ‘homemade’ cake came from the pastry chef’

Life is already complicated enough, so Veerle just gets the ‘home-made’ cake from the confectioner and Jitske wins praise at school dinners with her ‘homemade’ salads. Read and learn from these smart moms.

Jitske (41): “At my children’s school there is a high ideal of parental participation and a lot is also expected of you in the culinary field. A crime if, like me, you are not a kitchen princess at all.

Salad bar

Yet every Christmas, Easter and summer dinner, my delicious meal salads are eagerly awaited. Sometimes with tuna, then again with walnuts and apple or a nice cold pasta variant. I don’t tell you that I just scoop it out of the salad bar at work.”

Homemade cheesecake

Veerle (44): “’Delicious cheesecake! Home-made?’ asked the group of Scouting mothers who this time came to meet me about the new season.

“Unfortunately, three mothers immediately wanted the recipe.”

Now I’ve been offline for days, because I have no idea what was in that raspberry cheesecake from the pastry chef and I don’t dare to confess that I never bake.”
