Fish with cooked Iceberg Lettuce

Quite some time ago, on a hens weekend to be exact, we attended a Viennese cooking class in Hamburg, Germany. We made a really delicious dish, cooking salad in a pan. It’s low carb and a perfect healthy (weekday) dinner in combination with a white fish.

Here is the easy recipe: Continue reading “Fish with cooked Iceberg Lettuce”

Detox Salad: Spinach, Shrimp, Avocado & Pink Grapefruit

A wonderful food inspiration from a good friend, who has her own blog – but I need to warn you, its in French! She made me this salad one day and I fell in love with it straight away. Perfect detoxing, great ingredients, beautiful to look at and absolutely delicious. I actually make it year round.

Black Tagliatelle With Shrimps & Tomatoes

This is one of the easiest and most delicious pasta recipes that I have ever done. I kind of made the sauce by accident (yes, quite some years ago) and its still one of my favorites. You can also use lobster instead of shrimps. Or if you want to go vegi, just leave out the seafood and prepare with lots of basil leaves and the tomatoes only. Enjoy!

Lemon Basil Butter

When BBQ-ing, you always need sauces and dips for the meat as well as the corn-on-the-cobs. Try this very easy homemade butter which only needs 3 ingredients – well and salt and pepper!

Potato Salad With Avocado Dressing & Almonds

Potato salads are a little difficult I find. I am not a big fan of dressings drenched in mayonnaise (not that I don’t love mayonnaise, but I save my portion when eating with french fries) and often its rather tricky to prepare a real good potato salad. So I experimented a little and I think it turned out really well , combining one of my favorite ingredients – the avocado – into a dressing for the potatoes! Hope you like it!

Italian Chicken Artichoke Tomato Casserole

Weekday dinners are sometimes hard to think of I find. You often don’t feel like really cooking in the evening after a long day at work. At least that’s how I feel. So I have secretly gotten fond of preparing dinners that actually do all the work for you. You just need to combine all the ingredients and then everything goes into the oven. Plus its also good to prepare for a bunch of people or just for two. And this dish being green white and red, just makes it look beautiful!

Avocado Cucumber Feta Summer Salad

Summer is finally here (maybe not today, but in genreal) and at least I am craving light and fresh salads. This is a green summery mix and can be either served as a starter or as a side. A nice variation is to prepare the salad as is with quinoa to make it a little more nourishing.

Couscous with Mediterranean Vegetables

Loving oven-roasted vegetables of any sort, this is a great salad or side dish for a BBQ. You can of course also vary with other vegetables like bell peppers or fennel. Whatever you feel like!

The Best Apple Cake

Apple cake is always a good idea. Its fresh, tasty and easy to prepare! I have slightly adapted one of our family recipes. Hope you like it too! You can use a bundt form or any other baking form you want. Depending on the size, either the apples stay on top or (like mine this time) covers up the apples. Either way, the cake turns into a moist and absolutely delicious delight.
