I got a lot of classic dishes I love to eat but do not necessarily love to make all the time. These delicious Savoy Cabbage Rolls (German Kohlrouladen) are definitely in that category. Everyone loves them here, but not so much when it comes to prepare them, to be honest. We only make them for special occasions or if someone asks really nicely. ;P
We like to keep things simple during the week when it comes to preparing dinner. Nobody wants to spend a lot of time in the kitchen after a long day of work, right?! A simple dish like this Sausage Stroganoff with Potato Noodles (Schupfnudeln) will be on the table in half an hour at the most. A reasonable time to prepare dinner after a busy day, I think. More time would be unbearable! ;)
As a child, the story of the »Suppenkaspar« (a cautionary tale from an old German children’s book) would have been absolutely spot on for me. Kaspar did not like soup, neither did I. Luckily my mom made other food as well. My dislike for soup has changed a little over the years. It’s not a 360° turn, because I still do not like a clear soup (which is basically just flavored water), but it’s much better now. Place a bowl of flavorful soup with loads of stuff innit in front of me… I’m all in! Something like this easy Chorizo & White Bean Soup, for example. An absolute favorite in our house for many years already. I think this would have brought Kaspar to the table as well. Poor chap! ;)
You eat with your eyes first, right?! That’s definitely something that applies to me. I like colorful dishes, meals with a lot of veggies that are bright and vibrant. Stuff like this Sweet ‘n’ Spicy Chicken with Veggies & Coconut Rice. What’s not to love here?! One look, and you know it’s going to be good. That’s what I want from my food! ;)
We’re big fans of quick and easy pasta dishes here. When the pasta tastes as delicious as this Ravioli alla Vodka with Spinach, everything’s just perfect. A bowl of that, a nice movie, and good company, and you can really enjoy the evening… without having to spend hours cooking in the kitchen beforehand. Sounds good, right?! ;)
When I think of Stuffed Bell Peppers with Rice & Meat, it somehow always brings back childhood memories. This dish has been a dinner favorite in our family. Probably because it is quite easy to prepare and doesn’t require much effort. My mum (like all of us) never really wanted to spend a lot of time in the kitchen after work. Nowadays, you can have all sorts of meals delivered to your home… back then, you were not able to eat anything if you did not cook yourself. Yes, I am that old. I grew up in a time without delivery services ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
