Farmer’s Stew with Minced Meat and Potatoes

It’s still not very nice outside. Spring in Berlin can be quite nasty, to be honest. Very cold, wet and windy. I really don’t like this time of year here in the city. You don’t want to spend more time inside after a cold and wet winter but going outside is still not an option if you want to stay warm and dry ;) Well… times like that demand hearty and delicious dishes – like this Farmer’s Stew with Minced Meat and Potatoes, for example. This dish will keep you warm and makes you forget the misery outside ;P

Cabbage Stew with Minced Meat & Potatoes

Cooking Recipes, Stew No Reply

I guess everyone knows them – the packaged mixes for pasta, casserole dishes, etc. you can find in basically every supermarket all over the world. The package normally contains spices, (artificial) flavors, and stuff like that and you add pasta, meat, veggies, or whatever to create a dish. These packages are quite popular because they promise great flavors and a dish that is ready in no time. Well… I think there is no need for stuff like that. Most of the time you can create the same dish with ingredients and spices you already have at home. This Cabbage Stew with Minced Meat & Potatoes is a good example here. So easy to prepare and very delicious ;)

Classic German Roulades (Rinderrouladen) with Fried Potatoes

Cooking Recipes No Reply

Whenever we have some more time to cook, mostly on the weekend, we love to take one of our old family recipes and spend some time in the kitchen. During the week we prefer quick and easy recipes, but on a Saturday or Sunday you can prepare something like these Classic German Roulades (Rinderrouladen) with Fried Potatoes. One of my favorite recipes of all time my mom used to make ;)

Slow Braised Beef Pasta

Cooking Recipes, Pasta & More No Reply

There are some dishes that are soooo good that everyone should have them in their cooking repertoire. For people who like to eat meat, for example, this is Slow Braised Beef Ragout with Pasta is a dish you should know how to make. It takes some time to prepare (that’s why it’s called slow-braised), but worth every minute you invest ;) We might not eat as much meat as we did in the past, but whenever we want something meaty – this is almost always the first dish we can think of to do ;P

Swedish Koettbullar with Pasta

Everyone knows them, almost everyone likes them, hardly anybody (here in Germany) can pronounce the name correctly: Swedish Köttbullar [ˈɕœtˌbɵlːar]. The phonetic transcription probably won’t help much either here ;) But it doesn’t matter – instead of “Swedish Köttbullar with noodles”, you can say “IKEA meatballs with noodles”. Everyone will exactly know what you mean by that ;)

Meatballs with Mashed Potatoes

Cooking Recipes No Reply

I’m sure you also have some dishes that can bring back childhood memories, right? For me, it’s not the pot of pasta with tomato sauce – my mom did not really like to make that “classic” kids’ dish. As a child, I had sooo many schnitzels with french fries or meatballs with mashed potatoes… those were my favorite dishes. I guess we were a typical carnivorous family ;P Well… that changed. These days we eat much less meat, but still enjoy Meatballs with Mashed Potatoes like these here from time to time. With much more enjoyment since we are not eating it that often ;)
