What’s the most important thing you need when you have friends or family over on your terrace? Drinks? Well… yes, but what about food? Most definitely! ;P I think snacks are more essential than drinks. I am fine with water only if I get some olives to nibble on or nice bread and something to dip ;) That’s why I always have stuff like that at home, or at least, the ingredients to make something like this Feta Spread with Sun-dried Tomatoes. Nobody sits on my terrace without anything to eat ;P
I always have problems saying the name correctly: Spa-na-ko-pi-ta. I tend to mix up some of the letters and then it’s suddenly something completely different ;) Maybe I should just describe what it is – spinach strudel with filo dough. No. I have to remember the correct name. This dish deserves to be pronounced correctly. It’s one of my favorite pastries from Greece! Spanakopita! ;)
There is a lot you can do with tomatoes. They are great in a salad, for cooking, and even for baking. Especially in summer, when tomatoes taste best, they are used constantly in my kitchen. Mostly for salads like this tomato salad served with a creamy burrata and toasted bread slices. It’s super easy to prepare and on the table in no time. Perfect as an appetizer or as a snack along with a beer on the terrace. So good ;)
Dinner does not have to be complicated. We love a quick and easy dinner… for example, made with gnocchi. For that reason, we normally have a package of pre-made gnocchi from the store in the fridge. You can do a lot with these potato dumplings and in most cases, the preparation is done in no time! Same for this delicious Easy Chorizo Gnocchi Pan here. Spain meets Italy and everyone is happy about it ;)
There are things we almost always have in our fridge – a bag with fresh gnocchi from the supermarket. Whenever you are in a hurry and don’t feel like cooking those pre-cooked potato dumplings are perfect. You just have to warm them and slap on some pesto, for example. That’s it. Cooking is done. Today I got a recipe to make simple gnocchi with paste a bit fancier: delicious (and easy to prepare) Gnocchi with Mushrooms, Asparagus, Pesto & Burrata. So good!
Casserole dishes are great when you want to feed a family or a larger crowd… without too much work in the kitchen. When I was a child my mom often made something like this Cheesy Pasta & Ham Bake and I still love eating it. Something kids and adults like – simply delicious and very easy to prepare. What else could you want? ;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 ;)
