In one of my last posts I worked with a Hokkaido pumpkin which I baked in the oven with some olive oil and a spice mix on top. Some of the Hokkaido slices I reserved for the next weekend – for a quiche convenient for autumn. So what do we need for this special quiche?
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. This sandwich is dedicated to process leftovers of fried fish fillet – whatever kind of fish: if cod, if redfish, if hake … I made this sandwich out of the moment when I happened to have some pieces of fried fish fillet in my fridge. My better half was delighted – & so I decided to do it once more for my blog w/ all the photos etc. This…
Honestly, sometimes it isn’t so easy to think about what we might have for lunch – something easy to prepare, a fast approach, something light … (not always sandwiches!). Pasta is always my favorite – next to rice (& also my better half’s favorites, thank goodness!) Especially One-Pot-Pasta is very convenient: you need only a frying pan (& bowls or plates!) i. e. washing up is strongly reduced (except you plan taking photos!). All ingredients come…
Another treat for aperitivo: I’m sure you know vitello tonnato from your frequent pilgrimages to your trusted Italian restaurant. Of course you can do it at home … well: I admit I bought the veal at my trusted food store … (You may also start from the scratch w/ preparing the veal by yourself … I skipped this task by buying ready-to-eat veal slices at my trusted food store. Belief me: otherwise it becomes…
Am I an avid pizza baker? Honestly, not really … I like pizza, but there is a brilliant pizzeria not far from our home where you may order pizza by phone, just pop around & grab it. Nevertheless sometimes I’m in the mood for a homemade pizza … When starting w/ homemade pizza there are 2 points to clarify: Concerning the pizza crust it’s generally possible to do a rectangular pizza or a round one…
This morning end of July summer decided to show off once again w/ sun & an endless blue sky – after experiencing some really rainy days during the last week resp. weekend. So I thought salad might be a good choice for dinner … I happened to have fresh salad leaves in my fridge together w/ some burrata as well. So let’s gor for a fresh & light meal tonight. We’ve got a green component,…
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…
A nice galette, a savory galette is a fast meal & may be eaten hot, warm or cold. I prefer it “warm”. Let’s start w/ the remarks of my better half: too much pastry, more tomatoes would have been better … ok: fine w/ me – next time I’ll roll out the pastry somewhat thinner, add more goat’s cheese & tomatoes.(… of course the original you read about here & now was fine & nothing…
A crispy piece of lasagna: it’s comfort food from the best! If you like your lasagna less crispy just take it our of the oven some minutes earlier … The mozzarella will be really chewy, however, all is fine under the mozzarella i. e. inside the lasagna! Although we need quite a lot of ingredients it’s a surprisingly easy & fast pasta dish. Let’s start w/ the vegetables … 1st step: preheat the oven to…
The 1st step … The Businesswoman’s Kitchen has got a new look! It took me some weeks thinking about a new look, designing some new look, looking for a solution – i. e. a new theme – and finally plunging into the cold water by applying it. Of course I’m not finished with anything … there remains a lot of fine tuning – even maybe some major adjustments. So be surprised what happens during the…
This is a chocolate cake. A simple chocolate loaf.(It’s a chocolate cake w/ chopped pistachios which are optional.) Is this a healthy cake? Maybe you’ve already made an educated guess … This isn’t a brand-new post – I published it about 4 years ago. Then I’d like to present a recipe for chocolate cake & some insights – my very own! – about healthy food in general & especially about posts featuring the It-word healthy.…
Once I noticed some mouth-watering photos of aubergine involtini i. e. you cut an aubergine lengthwise into thin slices, roast them in the oven, fill some ricotta or whatever inside & roll them up. Then the involtini are placed in a casserole w/ some tomato sauce on the bottom & grated cheese on top & baked. I decided to give it a try. Pondering how to proceed I stumbled across some details. How to manage…
This winter we had an especially grey & dull time (my private experience). The sky was so grey (most of the time), the days were grey & filled w/ rain (too often), it was cold & humid about 5° C (… & sometimes below zero) – and we had some snow (for about 3 days!). I felt winter blues … In addition … after living in the Mediterranean area for most of 2023 I missed…
It was on a birthday party night when I tried hummus for the very 1st time … everybody seemed enthralled by hummus, the new star of dip paradise. Well, hmmm … I wasn’t fond of hummus at all. It was tasteless & mealy. Okay: it was many years ago … the hummus era had just started. I always give any innovations in food universe a 2nd go – or even a 3rd go, or a…
It’s mid of November: all over the internet food blogs indulge in Xmas cookies, Xmas cakes, Xmas whatever – Xmas dinner suggestions didn’t surface until now. I’m not so ready for this Xmas business at the moment … I think some fresh & easy to prepare weeknight dinner is also appropriate. I also didn’t start any Xmas baking so far. I’m not in Xmas mood so early in November – although everywhere in food stores…
