German Traditional and Vegan Herring – Fantastic Fake Fish
There is this traditional (northern) German dish. It’s a dish with steaming hot salt potatoes (peeled or not) served with a cold ‘herring salad’ or ‘cream herring’. It used to be a ‘poor people’s’ dish, but those times are long since gone and all sorts of poor people’s food has become quite popular, also because […]
Kasseler ‘Grey Bread’ – One of Fifty shades of German bread
Very delicious this one. And the first yeast-bread I somewhat mastered! It is soooooooo good!!! I started making this without a mixer, so it is possible, the ‘Krume’ as it is called in German – the stuff inside the crust, will not turn out as flexible and homogenous if you make it by hand, but […]
Shroomy Sticks – Crunchy Mushroom Baguette
I’m currently ‘en route’, so a little hampered in my blogging. However ‘look what I prepared earlier’ *hehe I’m sort-o’-kidding, but I took the pictures after baking this delicous lunch a little while ago and thought I’d share this as a quick addition to my blog, since I’ll be some time until I get back […]
Beg-4-more – Egg Salad (almost) from scratch
I’m near sure there are hundreds of countries with thousands of recipes for an egg salad – and most of them are probably really good. However, on a visit back in the home country I was annoyed by the small portion of the store-bought egg salad and quickly whipped up a home-made version, using what […]
Veggie ‘Steak’ – Granddad’s Zucchini Goodness
Happy New Year in the Common Era / BC timescale. We may celebrate another one for other occasions. No reason wasted to celebrate! I’m starting light into the new year. Recipe-wise at least. A ‘recipe’ requiring just three ingredients and a turner and a pan. Easy, fresh and sooo yummy. More of a cooking suggestion, […]
Going Nuts One More Time – Hazelnut Gelato – Hand and Homemade
Just because – a little Christmas special! This is amazing. I never knew how easy it is to make homemade gelato (which translates to ice-cream). Having an ice cream maker at hand is not even necessary, even though the results get somewhat better, but not to the point where it becomes a major problem without […]
Going Nuts Again – Homemade Nut-Chocolate Spread “Nutella”-Style
It’s addictive and full of energy, but not necessarily the kind of energy source you need more of. Nutella is full of simple sugars. However, about twice a year I have an episode where I eat a jar. This recipe allows me to get a bit more control over what I spread on my piece […]
Going Nuts with Pesto alla Siciliana – Ricotta e Noci (from scratch)
Italy. It features ancient culture, emotional language, loving and interesting people and last but not least bloody awesome (and healthy) cuisine. I’m happy Italy isn’t everywhere, since there are soooo many uncounted delicous cuisines (and awesome cultures and people), but you can bring a little bit of Italy (alsmost) everywhere.
