: : : The reason why I love Traditional German Food are dishes like the one featured today, which is nearly impossible to find on a menu of any restaurant, anywhere 😦 So, as usual, when the craving scratches, switch-on the stove 🙂 : Bon Appétit ! Life is Good ! : : Click here […]
: : : A stew is one of these typical, beloved, easy to prepare dishes that have almost disappeared from fine restaurant menus and, sadly, from most household dining tables (or kitchen tables). Many home cooks shy away from it because of the extended cooking time. But, once you realize that the actual prep time […]
: : : Here we have another “empty out the fridge salad” that could have not been more delicious, pretty and appetizing, even if I tried 🙂 Its been said a million times, yet it still holds the truth : When you cook, the most important ingredients for a dish are a bit of knowledge […]

Not the watered down version you get in Western influenced restaurants, but the real, Szechuan deal. ( When you look at the pictures of the noodles with sauce below, […]
