One evening I was looking into the fridge and was deciding what to cook for the evening. I often have lambs lettuce and avocado in the house (as you might have noticed – both favorites in my kitchen) the bacon and dates caught my eye. In Germany we call dates rolled into bacon as follows: «Dates in Bacon-Coat». The combination of the salad, avocado and dates with bacon was an absolute delight! Hope you like it.

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?

When you invite a few guests it’s always really nice to have something homemade and special as an aperitif. These chips are very simple and easy to prepare, even a day or two prior to the invitation. What really struck me, was the fact that the sweet potato slices shrunk in size quite a bit! But delicious in any way…

The sun is out and a fresh salad is all you can think about? Here is a great way to add a little extra to your salad! Feta is always nice with salad, but the crust makes the whole salad to a real lunch or dinner and doesn’t leave your hungry. You can of course also prepare as a starter. The crispy crust is delicious and I can also imagine other fruit that would go well with it!

Oh the memories, oh such comfort food. Love this dish – a classic in my mom’s repertoire up until now. One of the favorite dishes we wish for, when we come home to visit.
There are two ways to prepare the cottage pie – either you prepare everything from scratch or you buy frozen veggies and ready-made mashed potatoes. Surely helpful when you are in a hurry and don’t have time to prepare everything freshly…

Desserts are more or less my favorite part of a dinner. I would actually leave out the starter to keep room for the finale – the dessert!
The Kaki (persimmon) is a sweet and slightly tangy fruit available in different sorts, I like the harder ones best, that have a consistency of an apple. It comes from China I think and apparently has great mystical powers to help against headaches, back pains and foot aches (according to some rural parts of China, as read in a Wikipedia article). So actually you are doing your body some good with this dessert! Haha!
