deutsche Version Our butcher´s around the corner, a family business for decades, is a local institution. Before we moved to this small town near Munich, I had already heard through the grapevine that the quality of meat and sausages was excellent. And the rumours did not promise too much. Quite unremarkable from the outside, the place may not […]

Brioche lyonnaise
deutsche Version This loaf is another example for what fascinates me about traditional Lyonnais cuisine and sausage making. Best quality produce, exquisitely flavored, braised in wine with shallots, onions, garlic – that´s typical for Lyonnais cooking, and just the kind of cooking I love. Here, a rustic sausage filling prepared à la Lyonnaise is embedded in a […]
apple walnut pie
deutsche Version Thanks to my little daughter Olivia I never run out of apples these days. She is 9 months old now and has started to discover the world of “real ” food, a journey that due to the lack of teeth involves all kinds of purées and mashes. But of all the fruit and vegetables I puréed […]
Old-fashioned cabbage wraps (Krautwickel)

The story dates back to the year 1837. In a restaurant named Le pavillion Henri IV, located in St. Germain-en-Laye near Paris, a celebration is being held on occasion […]
Pink praliné tart – La tarte aux pralinés roses
deutsche Version Although I´m not exactly a fan of overly colored food, I have a special weakness for this pink tart. Given its famous provenance, the French food mekka of Lyon, it´s however not surprising at all how delicious it is. I find it more surprising that a region most famous for rich, hearty food and […]
duck breast à l´orange
deutsche Version As I complained about the grey skies lately, inspiring me to help myself to a serve of sunshine cake, I have to pay justice to the Bavarian winter and tell you about how spectacular it can be just as well. So I will. About three weeks ago, the bright morning sun promised a […]
Sunshine cake
This is a little remedy for those of you who suffer from a lack of sunlight, as I do these days. Here in Bavaria, not only is the snow back, but it came with infinite clouds that have been darkening the sky for days, not allowing a single ray of sun to come through. That´s […]
