auf Deutsch: Tarte Tatin mit Pfirsisch und Rosmarin We arrived here in Paris about ten days ago, happy and exhausted. An old life left behind, a new one waiting for us, and a new house to begin with. To make new walls a home, it always helps to get things started in the kitchen. To […]

Beef cheeks macaroni & cheese
deutsche Version This beef cheek macaroni & cheese is inspired by the M Belleville, one of our last culinary discoveries in Munich. In this restaurant, run by a daughter & father duo with French roots, authentic bistro cuisine is on the ever changing chalkboard menu that is brought from table to table. Aside from seasonal […]
madeleines
In contrast to the much-cited scene in Proust´s novel when the taste of a madeleine elicits the fondest childhood memories, my own first encounter with the little French tea cakes was not quite as overwhelming: When I was a kid, the supermarket version of madeleines used to help us out as an easy snack on […]
Asparagus with pancakes & Sauce hollandaise
deutsche Version Late april is all about asparagus here. As soon as the first ones see the light of day, little roadside stands pop up everywhere to sell these ivory treasures of spring.

[…]
Waffles for breakfast
deutsche Version Making waffles is such a wonderful way to start the day: An irresistible smell of fresh yeast and vanilla scents the air while I´m standing by the waffle iron, taking a first sip of coffee, my kids (even my little one) impatiently waiting for the first batches to be ready. While I´m baking, […]
pork tongue in white wine sauce
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 […]
