At least once a week, I love to make waffles, crêpes, pancakes or Kaiserschmarrn. This fluffy, eggy dessert, very popular in Austria and the south of Germany, was one of the first recipes I was able to cook on my own in my mother´s kitchen. Each time I make my mother´s Kaiserschmarrn, it reminds me […]

Lobster à l´américaine
I wanted to make something special for our first Bastille day here in France, so I bought some lobsters last tuesday. Cooking them always fills me with exited anticipation, to say the least – in other words: the presence of living crustaceans in my kitchen makes me slightly nervous. Remember Annie Hall? Scenes like that […]
lemon tart, bare headed
This lemon tart is the underdressed sister of the lemon meringue tart that´s offered in any boulangerie/patissierie I know. Like baguette in the bread section and croissants in the viennoiserie, la tarte fine au citron is a must bake for every boulanger (baker man) who wants to climb the heights of patissier heaven. The white swirly […]
Artichokes à la barigoule
Cooking artichokes à la Barigoule was one of the things I was very exited about when moving to France. For this simple Provencal recipe calls for small artichokes named poivrade, and they are very hard to find in Germany. Here, in contrast, the poivrades belong to the usual potpourri of summer vegetables, something you pass by in […]

Of mussels & snails
I am a curious eater. When I´m eating out, I´ll probably order something I don´t know just to find out if it´s good. When I come home from the market, I´ll proudly present my latest discoveries. I´m taste hunting. The idea to miss any deliciousness due to sheer ignorance drives me crazy. Last week at […]
Crevettes & tarragon mayonnaise
The weather has been warm and inviting during our first weeks here in Paris, making it easy to explore the possibilities of daily life: where to buy the best baguette, to find the butcher´s and the nearest supermarket, where to go for a walk or the nicest view over the city. Last sunday, we discovered a tiny, […]
terrine maison
deutsche Version When you go to a Parisian bistro for lunch or dinner, one of dishes you will find on the menu quite frequently is la terrine maison. These home made terrines are mostly made of chicken or poultry liver and served with pickles and bread as a starter. At home, we love to have it along […]
