savoury delights soups

sweet potatoes & sweet carrots

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   This is a spontaneous soup. I mean I had the idea in the morning before shopping – so I was spontaneous. Most of the ingredients were already in my pantry resp. fridge. All I had to buy were the sweet potatoes. So I set up my private cooking show after shopping & prepared the soup & took photos & made notes – then we had lunch. (You’ll see…

what to do w/ dull vegetables?

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   What happened? I opened my fridge & learnt that there were some leftovers … vegetables to be correct. Carrots & spring onions. Also in my pantry there were some potatoes … & in my freezer I had some frozen peas. In each case it wasn’t so much … not enough for whatever … So I decided to make a real big batch of mixed vegetables! Next morning when…

quite simply: eggs & vegetables…

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   For a breakfast w/ friends I decided to do a frittata. At first I thought about scrambled eggs or baked eggs… however, these have to be prepared fresh from the scratch. If you try to enjoy a breakfast w/ friends (or a brunch) as a host it’s always better to prepare everything in advance. A frittata can be prepared 1 day before – no problem at all. You…

pure chinese beef

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   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…

out of the oven: shrimps & peas hidden in cannelloni

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…

sweet & spicy butternut mash

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   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.   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…    …
