Hate to bother you one more time, I’ve tried everthing I know, to locate the article that I was
looking for, to no avail. The article: one illustration at a time – 6/16/12. i could not find it in the
June articles, maybe I’m just searching in the wrong parts of your blog, or, it may have been
an article that belong to another website, that is not part of your blog anymore. Any help on this
will be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work on sharing your years of experience and
knowledege with us.
All the best,

Greetings from your friend in Texas Chef Hans:
I read all of your articles, enjoy them, easy to follow recipe’s, what a great experience to follow
a really culinary pro such as your self. Hans, my wife Elli is from Frankfurt, been in the U.S.
for over 50 years, is a good cook, but has trouble with Sauerbraten and Roladen. We normally
use the Maggi & Knorr mix, its ok, if you improvise a little. During the war, there was very little
meat in Germany, her mother Paula, used horse meat when she could find it, little Elli did not
like it at all, felt that the horse was a very special animal and not to be consumed by man. Of
course, these were hard times in the father land, and one had to get by with food, anyway they
could.
Anyway, do you have a good rather simple recipe for Sauerbraten and Roladen, she wants to
make it from scratch, and possibly your recipe may be the way Germans use to make these two
fine dish’s great with dumplings, a nice gravy, vegetableto accomany, and a nice glass of
red wine to polish off this meal. The store mix’s while good, is not the best. You are culinary
pro in matters such as this, I learned how to make it at CIA but it’s more Americanized. I was
told that one should get the cheapest cut of meat for these two icon entree’s, we tried, its still
tough, after hour’s of cooking. I told Elli that we will have to improve the quality of meat, in order
to enjoy a more tender meal. Thanks chef Hans, and all the best to you

Dear Hans & Family:
So nice of you to remember, recipe and illustrations look fabulous, and tasty. Yes, Elli remembers how it us to be done by her Muther back in the old days, she was born in Frankfurt in 1934, so this recipe did carry on over the years,and continues to be a favourite not only for Germans but expat’s as well. Hans, again thank you, and may you and your family be blessed with good health, happiness, and all the prosperity that comes your way.

Hi Chef,
I am very interested in your opinion of Swai? My firm imports it and I am trying to solicit views of this very inexpensive protien. I have searched your site and found nothing. Don’t be afraid to offend my feelings, I am only looking for your true opinion.
Hi Jim,
I am honored that you value my opinion.
However, I can’t say I am familiar with the fish and although I would like to try and experiment with it, I am not able to source it here in Miami.
If I ever come across it, I will use it and post about it
Best regards,
Hans.
Chef, I very much enjoy reading your blog. For a novice like me, it is very informative. Much thanks for liking my cornbread post.
