This is a yummy bite of August. New apples, wild herb salad, baked red beets and roasted buckwheat.

Borage risotto

We have a shack in the country and are experimenting with a wild garden. By wild I mean, we can't water regularly and everything just grows wild.  Borage has been growing wonderfully and has come back again now the second year. You can chop leaves, flowers and the smaller stems like spinach and make a wonderful risotto.  And its beautiful little blue flowers just make a gorgeous eatable decor.

Summer is here

SKREI - winter cod - with black salsify and horseradish sauce

3/4/2019

 
Picture
SKREI
Skrei is a winter cod and comes from the Lofoten Islands in Norway. Skrei, from Skreid meaning in Norwegian: Wanderer. The season lasts from January till April at the latest. Tt is caught in the waters around the Lofoten, using longline and gillnetting methods. Special fishing licenses with allocated fishing quotas are required, along with certain regulations strictly enforced to protect the fish. The white meat is delicate, tasty and low in fat. The fillet is firm. Skrei can be pan fried, grilled, steamed, dried, smoked, deep fried and salted. 

wedding soup

1/16/2019

 
My mother often cooked this soup on Sundays, and always on special celebrations.  Later my dad cooked this soup too. The Wedding Soup is served in all the regions in Germany. Usually a beef or chicken stock soup with add ons, typically marrow bone dumplings, peas, white aspargus and cooked egg dices.

We had a  wonderful time, not only refining the flavors of this typical German Winter dish, but also 'cook by colors'.  Orange Duck Breast on Red Cabbage with Purple Potatoes.

AMazing produce in december

12/11/2018

 
Who would have thought, that this can be found in December.  I found yellow trumpet  and pom-pom mushrooms, a rose raddichio, all colored root vegetables and wonderful mini cabbage and celeriac root. This because of the long hot and dry summer. They basically came out to be tasty bonsai vegetables.

Vanille kipferl, nusssterne and lebkuchen! Advent is here...

12/7/2018

 
Picture
We glazed the Lebkuchen with a lemon glaze and sprinkled wild flowers on top. The lemon flavor lends a fresh twist to the spicy Lebkuchen, and the dried wild flowers give them a unique delicious look.

When you have a second "Heimat"

11/27/2018

 
Thanksgiving was and is my favorite holidays in the US.  Over the years I figured out how to make a turkey moist and delicious, no matter how big.  Using middle eastern flavors and soaking it fort 2 days in olive oil and orange juice, makes the meat so tender, that you don't even have to cut it.  My turkey rule:  the more spices, the better.

november cravings

11/9/2018

 
The warm temperature do have one good thing, that all the wild herbs are still around. But it still feels like changing the menu to the more hearty stews, soups and dishes.

last wild herb salad with edible flowers...
Picture
Königsberger Klopse. Here with herb-tossed potatoes and sautéed salsify, our Gemran winter asparagus.

And of course, all the wonderful apples! did you know that Germany alone is the home of 2000 different kinds of apples, but we only find about 6-8 in the supermarkets and farmers markets.  Absurd, isn't it?  Anyway, time for strudel!

SAUSAGE TIME!

10/7/2018

 
Picture
My favorite? Yes, surely one of the great seasonal recipes! Homemade sausages with seasonal mushrooms (Chanterelles and Porcinis). We made the sausages with beef, garlic, a parsely root, 5 different herbs and a bell pepper.  Yum!
Love it when the students are having so much fun cutting herbs!

Even though we still have warm temperatures, craving for foods like kohlrouladen (cabbage rolls) and Königsberger klopse (meatball dish)

I can eat this every day! Zwetschgen (Damson plums) on a thin tart crust with whipped cream.

Kohlrouladen with sautéed mushrooms, stir fried red beet leaves and elderberry juice. What a delight!

Maultaschen - the german ravioli

8/17/2018

 
cooked in a vegetable broth and filled with fresh chanterelles, chard, garlic and beef. An absolute delight. here with some homemade Berliner Weisse - non alcoholic beer that's sweetened with raspberry or wood-ruff syrup.
Picture

It's from the land! I had painted my wall in this amazing blue and placed all these wonderful mushroom creatures in front of it. And I can't wait to cook them tonight.  The white one is a Hericium erinaceus, or Pom-Pom Mushroom, then Pleurotus citrinopileatus, the golden and red oyster mushrooms and  a black porcini mushroom, and the regular oyster mushrooms.

A hearty lunch on a winter day with a glass of wonderful Spätburgunder

Kohlroulade (Cabbage rolls) on mashed potato/celeriac root with parsley and a lamb's lettuce salad with juicy pear.

STARTING THE NEW YEAR. THE REMAINING WINTER MONTHS REQUIRE CREATIVITY. ANd who says there isn't enough local produce?

1/15/2018

 





Regional produce is narrowed down to parsnips, turnips, carrots, beets, celeriac and parsley roots, Jerusalem artichokes, leeks, green, black, red and white cabbages, onions, salsify, purslane, lamb's lettuce, endive, wonderful apples, pears... that is quite a lot in my opinion.

Class on January 6th. We made Flammkuchen (Alsascian flatbread) with leeks.


Delicious winter salad, here lamb's lettuce with a juicy sweet pear.
Picture
 

And on colder, rainy winter days, there is nothing more comforting than Königsberger Klopse, a favorite German dish made out of meat and sardines in a caper sauce.
Picture
The nice thing is, the dough for the flatbread is the same as for the apple strudel.  That makes it easy, but the outcome is very contrary in taste.
