Savory goulash soup for cold days
Easter is only weeks away, and I thought it’s about time to post few suitable recipes. You know, something light. I was really looking forward to it, even though outside it doesn’t feel like Spring just yet. And then today morning I looked out of the window, only to find snow and temperatures below zero.

Simple potato gratin with salmon
I don’t know if it’s me, or the Winter, but the last few weeks I have been feeling rather.. well, sleepy and more or less in energy saving mode. My motivation, or better said the lack of it, even got as far as the kitchen. So after keeping my cooking as simple as it gets,…

Carrot soup with an orienal twist
I hope you are enjoying Winter as much as I do. I have been covered in snow for the good part of this year, and mind you, the year just began. Well, more like I had to go away to see the real Winter, but who wouldn’t want to wander in waist-deep snow in -20C…

Potatoes and sauerkraut pot with cured pork
You know, I actually wanted to show you few more Oktoberfest recipes, but a fried chicken is pretty straight forward and Sauerbraten, which literally translates into sour roast, takes about a week to prepare. Well, bad planning on my side, but I’d blame it on beer. So instead I prepared something that takes max 30min…

Salmon on green vegetables
Yes, it’s been weeks since I last posted anything. Since then I changed the layout of the blog, climbed few mountains, got sick and got 2nd degree burns, but most of all, the heat is driving me nuts. Everything that required longer than 5 minutes in the kitchen was off limits.

Chicken in almond-coconut curry
I love to try new cuisines. I find it fascinating how people use the same spices and products differently. I tried my hands on few, and I think the indian cuisine is my favourite. It’s so rich, full of flavours and contains so many spices. Sometimes I catch myself at adding some of them to…

Fried potatoes with asparagus
Fried potatoes, or Bratkartoffeln is one of the classics of the german cuisine. When visiting Bavaria, chances are you’ll have it on your plate sooner or later. I guess my luck then because it’s one of my favourite dishes, even though I haven’t cooked it in a while.

Rice with roasted vegetables
My “no meat and no sugar” – challenge is over by now and I’m happy I did it. It definitely was fun. And a little bit of an achievement. Though I had to get over sugar, there is enough substitute for meat. The curious foodie in me even reached for meatless meatballs, where the list…
