Since the pandemic hit, I started cooking more and post more cooking recipes on here – and it seems you like them looking at the feedback I get on social media ;) Thanks for that! I think I have a good balance between sweet and savory now. So… how about another one of my favorite childhood dishes? Have you ever tried Swabian Käsespätzle? The German version of Mac’n’Cheese… soo good ;)
Today’s recipe is something you can cook if you have less time than usual in the kitchen. One-Pot meals like this One-Pot Gnocchi with Italian Sauce are normally easier to prepare, you need fewer bowls, pots, and kitchen gadgets and everything is done much quicker… well and it tastes damn delicious. The best part – there is much less to clean afterward ;P
I don’t know how your experience is with that, but I have a lot of dishes I connect with my childhood – for example, this Zurich-style Beef & Mushroom Ragout aka. Zürcher Geschnetzeltes. My mom often made it at home when I was a kid because it is really delicious and quite easy to prepare. Every time I cook it, I have a little “flashback” to my childhood ;P
If you’ve been on any of the many social media platforms these days, you will probably stumble over baked feta with tomatoes and pasta. It’s the “hot sh*t” right now ;P It started on TikTok and spread like a disease all over the internet. This combination is actually nothing new, but somehow it turned into a trend. Today I am showing you something with feta, tomatoes, and pasta… just different. One of our favorite casserole dishes: Greek Baked Orzo with Feta Cheese! So good!
How about a little snack? If your answer is „yes“, I might have something for you. Delicious deep-fried Mac ‘n’ Cheese Balls. Have you ever tried? If not, it’s about time! These little balls of joy are soooo good ;) Like everything made in a deep-fryer. Unfortunately. You should not have stuff like that too often, but once in a while is ok. Just don’t overdo it. You heard it from me – the biggest fan of deep-fried food ;P
I am soooo sick of winter right now! The wet and cold weather is getting into my bones I think – and with these metusalem-old bones, you have to be careful. Also… no sun in Berlin. It is hidden behind clouds for weeks already. That is literally screaming for some “comfort food”! Something to make you fat and happy. One of my favorite dishes from home in this category is definitely “Schupfnudeln mit Sauerkraut” aka. Potato Noodles with Sauerkraut. Sounds weird for you? Well… ;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 ;)
