This is the destiny of an open sandwich. On one side there is the bread, on the other side there is a crisp lettuce leave – both encapsulating the inner delicacies of baked vegetables, baked eggs, melted pecorino, crisp arugula in a soft yoghurt cream! At the beginning … … there was this open sandwich where the bread & the yoghurt cream & the arugula is barely visible … Just fold 1 or 2 large…
Today I reworked a recipe (technically!) which is brilliant whenever there are lots of fresh tomatoes around … and a delicious creamy piece of feta is chilling in your fridge … (To be honest: I didn’t invent this dish – you’ll find variations of the recipe many a food blog. I decided to accompany the tomato feta mess w/ pasta. Mezzi rigatoni seemed an appropriate choice. (This pasta needs cooking for 14 min to be…
Is there any surprise in a potato salad? Yes: you may add Mediterranean herbs for a delicious summer & holiday flavour … Some years ago I made this potato salad rather spontaneously because suddenly all the rainy weather in Germany cleared up & sun came back w/ fine temperatures fit for some last BBQ events in the garden. … & a real bit potato salad is always one of the best companions around (together w/…
When we started our trip to Southern France, end of 2022, we made a stop-over in Montpellier. If you like details: we arrived in the afternoon of 30th of December, stayed in Montpellier for New Year’s Eve and restarted to Carcassone on 1st of January.

A tomato tart – resp. any savory tart – isn’t finger food although it’s perfect for nibbling. It may pass for a complete meal although merely a simple one. A tart is ready to be eaten…
Some days ago I realized that it was about lunch time w/o having prepared anything … What about sandwiches? However, when peering into my fridge some leftover cooked potatoes caught my eye. So I thought: what about a quick leftover potato salad?No sooner said than done. I had about 400 g of potatoes, maybe almost 500 g. Somewhat too much for 2 people, I thought, but actually you’ll never have too much potato salad in…
Pizza for lunch … I like to do a pizza for lunch especially on Fridays. My better half & I are no explicit friends of store-bought deep-frozen pizza. We never store a supply in our freezer. If there is a specific irresistible craving for pizza we either go to our trusted pizzeria in the neighborhood which serves excellent pizza – not only in the restaurant, but also to go. However, this is mainly an option…
