Today it’s been officially one year since my first post – 365 days of checking for comments, deciding on 176 recipes and working hard to create pictures that do justice to the dish … a steep learning curve is all I can say! It’s been a wonderful year, especially thanks to all of you who inspire me…
Just in time for my first blog anniversary I will present you with the most oxymoronic dish ever: using the leftovers of an otherwise insanely expensive dish – white asparagus – this soup makes ‘thrifty’ look positively expensive. Anyways: you had your white asparagus and you ate it. But, as you followed my instructions to keep the…
As you can imagine, I’m not a great fan of sliced bread, But please don’t dismiss my claim that there is one thing that is better than sliced bread, and that by miles, too lightly! If the whole of Germany goes insane when the first white asparagus of the season appears in the shops and…
I recently read an article about the effects of our Western love affair with quinoa, which claimed that our desperation to cut down on wheat has led to price increases in quinoa, practically making it impossible for Bolivian farmers to keep some of their produce for their own consumption. Although I really like quinoa – and wouldn’t…
Today was a real let-down in terms of Spring: strong gusts of wind carried bin lids across the garden, and the heavy rain didn’t exactly entice us to leave the house, either. In other words: a day for comfort food. Since I had been sent the gorgeous wine from Inntravel, I needed to make something…
This week’s task has been to visit the German embassy in order to get a new passport. And going to the embassy fills me with equal amounts of anticipation and dread. The dread is easily explained by the number of forms I have to fill in, the need for documents I mislaid but now need to…
A few weeks ago I finally got round to making my first pretzels, a staple of Swabian bread baskets, the race was on to produce proper breakfast rolls. Now, I won’t lie, we don’t have rolls every morning for breakfast. But we could have, if we wanted to: every other street has an independent baker who…
Germany is well known for its beers and beer festivals, and rightly so. What’s much less well known is the fact that we produce some really great wines, too. And I am not talking Liebfraumilch here. When I came to Britain for the first time, Liebfraumilch and Blue Nun were a popular choice of wine.…
With St Patrick’s looming, I had been wondering what to do to mark the occasion. Potatoes? Stew? No – after Frugal Hausfrau’s inspired attempt at making her own Bailey’s Irish Cream, I knew I had to go down the truffles route. Since making boozy truffles the other day, I had been itching to give it…
You are all well aware of my obsession with healthy, low-fat desserts. Oh, you aren’t? Hmmm. I wonder why. Anyway, here I would like to present you with the lightest dessert imaginable – a cream so light that if it wasn’t for the copious amount of alcohol it would probably float off your plate. Zabaglione…
