A food blog dedicated to all people with too many office hours – who nevertheless sometimes like to do some home cooking for themselves, their family & friends.
Thank you for stopping by!!!
I’m Christine living in the Rhineland (Germany). I’m a food lover & a cat lover – addicted to crime & mystery fiction as well as grand movies & binge watching TV series – above all I cannot survive w/o espresso … and I’m The Businesswoman’s Kitchen.
Over the past decades I spent (too) many hours in my office workspace (as any would-be workaholic) & had only limited time for food shopping & re-creation of delicious recipes. So I learnt to improvise, to simplify & to use everything currently available in my pantry & in my trusted food store for cooking & baking w/o sticking to recipes literally.
I never got any job training in cookery – it was always just fun & relaxing to do home cooking (vs. restaurant dining or home delivery service). When dirtying my hands in my kitchen to create something mouth-watering – if sweet or savory – I found my balance regarding my (more) virtual working at my monitor in the office.
Well … & I always took pleasure in reading fancy cookbooks during lazy Sunday mornings with coffee & some sweet breakfast in reach! (Believe me – it’s sooo relaxing!)
This food blog will help you how to manage home cooking of delicious meals using a limited variety of ingredients & processing them “quick & dirty” – which proves to be not so easy as it sounds.
I fancy a basic cooking & baking approach with fresh ingredients (depending on season & availability!) as well as working w/ convenient products from my trusted food store – simple & straightforward & foolproof … and I’m still an absolute fan of one-stop-shopping for food!
For the records:
There are daily markets, farmer’s markets, organic markets & whatever … unfortunately – if Wednesday or Thursday morning – I never had time to stroll along booths w/ fresh fruit & vegetables & cheeses because I was sitting at my desk in my office or in a meeting room or participated in a conference call … So I mainly relied on my trusted food store & some small shops nearby.
Concerning my recipes in my food blog you may be sure that you can lay hands on all ingredients in your trusted food store – no need to roam your city or any suburbias for exotic spices or fruits or grains or whatever! … & the trusted food store: I think of a really big, well-assorted food store – no discounter w/ limited resources!
(More details about ingredients in my 101 & about my approach in my rules.)

… & there is travelling!
My better half & I – we love travelling. So since having started my food blog every now & then you’ll stumble across a post about our travel adventures. However, I don’t travel for food i. e. there is no overwhelming food photography in my travel posts.
