My husband is the biggest fan of the Italian porcini mushrooms. So what better can I do – as a good wife – to make a delicious risotto out of the dried porcini mushrooms we brought back from our last trip to Italy?

The last sun rays are warming our souls and just before we go into the whole autumn food (which I am very much looking forward to!), a salad is just what you need. And figs are great this time of year and give the little extra to the recipe.

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!

Roasted Potatoes with Kräuterquark

Kräuterquark kind of resembles sour cream with chives (with more herbs). «Kräuter» in German translates to «herbs» in English. I love to combine it with roasted or cooked potatoes and with meat as a sauce (yeah, summer is back this weekend!). Plus it is great as a dip for veggies at a party!
