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 ;)
Today’s recipe is going to be a bit fishy… well, or let’s say there is fish involved. That probably sounds better ;) Today I got some delicious Salmon Skewers with Peanut Sauce and Vietnamese Noodle Salad. Does not happen too often here on the blog that you’re getting served something like that… even though I really like to eat fish ;) Maybe I should do more recipes with fish. I’m sure there are enough people out there who like some seafood recipes…. ;)
Minestrone is one of the oldest Italian dishes still made in Italian cuisine today. Normally it’s served as an appetizer before the main course, but this version here is actually THE main course. This Minestrone with Orecchiette Pasta is a flavorful dish that will fill you up and warm you at the same time. Unfortunately, this is something you have to start thinking about again in September. There is no way to sugarcoat it: winter is coming! ;)
Summer is the time for a nice barbecue. At least, if the weather plays along. This year, the weather is not really playing along here in Germany. Bummer ;P A lot of rain. Well… we had some dry days in between, so there was a chance to heat up the grill and throw some meat and (fake) sausages on top. Along with that we normally also have some salad. Besides the classics – potato salad and pasta salad – we love to make this delicious Summer Salad with Orzo and Chickpeas. Our guests love it. Crowd pleaser ;)
Sometimes there is no way to get around it… Baked Feta Pasta drove the internet wild some time ago. It took me a while to understand why… but I do now. A super simple dish that tastes really delicious. It’s the perfect meal to prepare when coming home from work and don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen. Just grab a block of feta, some tomatoes and you’re almost ready to go ;)
Today I got something fishy to tell you ;P This is something that does not happen often here on this blog. So… how about a nice “fishy” recipe for your next lunch or dinner? I am sure you will like this Tagliatelle with Salmon and Spinach. It’s an extremely delicious pasta dish! A highlight for all fans of salmon.
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 ;)
