Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. I went shopping & I came back w/ vegetables. Before starting for my weekly shopping adventure at my trusted food store I remembered a recipe for a vegetable curry on Chocolate & Zucchini – and decided to give it a try. At 1st there were vegetables… Generally I’m no friend of leftovers concerning bare ingredients – I always try to use everything I buy especially when buying for…

(I admit that I didn’t produce such a lot of jam last year in spring & summer…) I decided to refill some of the jam jars… well: which jam to make? In winter you may rely on any frozen fruits, but… When aiming at fresh fruits there are…

It’s quite a long time since I did some Chinese wok dish on my blog – nevertheless I do it rather often at home (well: not always using my big wok, but rather a deep pan…). I like to read about dishes from the Far East on The Woks of Life as well as on Omnivore’s Cookbook. The recipes are based on the fact that in the Western hemisphere lots of…

This is the end… A savoy mess starts big – w/ this big big savoy cabbage – & finally becomes a soft, juicy mess of savoy, cream, meat balls, bacon & onion… For the record: In Germany we call this mess just „Durcheinander“ – (hotchpotch). The basis may be a savoy cabbage, however, it may also be a white cabbage or Brussels sprouts or carrots or kohlrabi……
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. Xmas is gone – all people think about how to lose weight & how to detox & how to… whatever. Before Xmas there were loads of recipes for cakes & cookies & all types of sweet stuff all over the food blog universe – although I didn’t post such a lot in the pre-Xmas Time. Now I think it’s time to look outside, take note of winter season,…

Instead of talking about my plans & resolutions for the New Year (NOW!) or doing a résumé of the last year or announcing a decluttering challenge I simply like to present a recipe for really comforting soup you’ll like for this season of the year. (The rest may follow soon… as well as a post about our pre-Xmas stay…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. I love cannelloni! Just imagine the hot & bubbling mix of pasta & vegetables & meat or seafood covered in melted crispy cheese coming out of the oven… Remember how to attack the casserole in order to grab the 1st serving & transfer it onto a plate w/o any damage (it’s always easier when the 1st serving has left the casserole!). Maybe it’s because a cannelloni dish is…

When cooking this approach to coq au vin we had one of these days… In the evening when my drunken chicken was finally ready I had to use additional artificial light for the photos – sorry: I always prefer natural light, but now when the sun decides to vanish sometime between…

Today we’ll prepare another butternut mash, however, this time w/ spices from the East giving the mash a mix of sweet pumpkin flavour, Asian background & a hint of hotness – of course you can indulge in real hotness if you like. The butternut mash will be fine w/ any meat or fish. I’m thinking of steak or pork cutlet or chicken breast or just fish…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. Autumn arriving boldly – it’s pumpkin season! Well… the popular hokkaido is available year round by now, however, some species like butternut, the big Halloween pumpkin etc. are only available in autumn until early winter. I think that I posted more than once pumpkin dishes – my favorites for working with are still hokkaido and butternut. For the record: During my childhood, my teens, my twens… &…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. I’m obsessed w/ loaf cakes – always looking for new ideas & the best recipes. I like a slice of loaf cake next to my espresso cup in the afternoon or as dessert after lunch or dinner or accompanying my espresso nightcap… I think you get it. Best is a loaf cake with some sort of icing keeping your cake moist – that’s the reason behind, however… it’s…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. To disclose the vhm shortcut: v is vegetables, h is herbs & m is meat. We are preparing a classic meat loaf w/ lots of vegetables & lots of fresh Mediterranean herbs: a meat loaf you may enjoy hot, warm or cold as well. I got my inspiration from this cookbook* out of the foodblogger’s universe which combines traditional German cooking w/ Mediterranean flavors… …
We are on the Italian road again… you know: Omnes viae Romam ducunt! (So now you know that I learnt some Latin at school… in the spirit of my food blog it’s simply: go to Rome resp. Italy & you’ll learn about the best desserts ever!) Tiramisu: Imagine a (big!) rectangular casserole filled w/ ladyfingers soaked w/ espresso & fine liquor, covered w/ mascarpone cream finished by a thick layer of cocoa. You may indulge…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. I couldn’t resist to try another ice cream: mashed strawberry & raspberry in a yoghurt mix… It’s perfect: easy to make, full of fruity summer flavors, creamy… & you don’t need an ice cream maker! My last post was on home-made ice cream & now there’s another one… (Don’t be afraid: I don’t intend to reinvent this blog as a „How to make ice cream?“ blog.) I…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. At the moment all people seem busy w/ ice cream making at home – at least when roaming food blogs you’ll find lots of new recipes & (sometimes!) strange combinations. Unfortunately no ice cream maker is sitting somewhere in my kitchen eager to produce ice cream… Therefore I’ve to stay w/ my approach for “no churn ice cream“ (which works very well!). Which ice cream… Quite easy: I…
