    Trying to puree meat

    What do you intend to do with said puree ? I assume you don’t consume it raw, so when do you encounter the „graininess“ ? It is a visual thing or a mouth-feel thing and if the latter, what is the final product in which you feel the graininess ?
  2. Are you able to get vegan milk substitutes ? If so, think bechamel and subsequently think lasagna. With garlic/spinach/ricotta, with mushrooms & bechamel, with cooked down courgettes, garlic and tomato. Endless varieties, all easily freezable and lets be gonest: who doesn’t like pasta ?

    I know my suggested Zwilling model didn’t make the cut, so I’ll pitch this one … Razor sharp (like all Global knives), „regular“ maintenance with a whetstone - nothing exotic, stylish to boot. If I would need one outside the Zwilling, that‘s the one …

    Dinner 2023

    Japanese movie night … Individual bowls of “niku dofu” (my version) and to share: shiitake with wakame, cucumber with yuzu, karage (from yesterday), eihire (dried skate wings), curry senbei and some onigiri. Accompanying sake … Enjoyed while watching A Whisker Away … nice movie (especially if you are into cats) 👍

    What is that meat product ?
  11. It‘s practically an airfryer 😉
  12. You know that things expand, when they get hot, right ? Think popcorn …

    Dinner 2023

    Little one is spending a week with his grandparents and for the adults version of Pizza & Movie Night we just had „freezer raid“ snacks … Enjoyed with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo … Noomi Rapace is still my #1 Lisbeth 🤗

    Can you precook the roulade sous vide, then chill and prep with the cold cooked roulade ?

    Could be the whiskey highball talking, but I‘d come around for that in an instant 🤗 …

    Lunch 2023

    I drove my parents and little one up to the coast line (Baltic sea) for a week of holiday with my fathers car, and returned by train to my hometown. That has the advantage that I had ta stopover in Hamburg, so … A hot (and surprisingly strong) Grog ! Followed by the unusual, yet very delicious Labskaus, a stew made from beef, potatoes and red beets, served with fried eggs & pickled herring ! Yum 🤗

    Dinner 2023

    I am not sure whether it’s the weather, the stress at work, the global economy or the baggage retrieval system they‘ve got at Heathrow, but every night I come home I am craving comfort food. In a lucky coincidence I am the only one who cooks at home, so … Bratwurst, Rotkohl & buttery mashed potatoes, served with onion gravy and a cold Jever. No complaints 🤗
  18. Just saw this: it this an Ice Age collectors item ? Maybe Sid the sloth hidden behind the wine bottle, too ?

    Dinner 2023

    Schlachtefest - the time of the year when pigs turn into various delectable meat products. Right now, everything pork is on offer, so I got a decent pork knuckle for less than 5€ … Tried a new cooking method, that produced a super tender knuckle with at least a bit of a crunchy skin … Served with (commercial) potato dumplings, a killer sauce (courtesy of said cooking method) and a „German“ salad … And the best beer in the world ! No complaints 🤗

    Dinner 2023

    Traditional Flammkuchen is based on a very thin dough (with our without yeast), that is topped with a light smear of crème fraiche, raw onions and bacon. It’s cooked in a very hot oven (think >250 oC) in 1-2 minutes. It often has a bit of char on the edges and the onions. Zwiebelkuchen has often a yeasted dough, sometimes a sourdough or even a shortcrust base, thicker with high edges. Filling is slightly cooked onions with lardons, suspended in a caraway/nutmeg-scented cream & egg mixture and often topped with cheese. It is baked in a medium oven for 25-35 min, depending on thickness. It is similar to a quiche.

    Dinner 2023

    After a leisurely afternoon hiking around and within the lovely city of Heidelberg … … we stopped at a nearby vineyard, got a 2L refill of our trusted plastic canister and enjoyed freshly made Zwiebelkuchen & new wine at home, chased by some caraway Schnaps to calm down our very active bellies 🤭

    Dinner 2023

    My shepard's pies usually not meatloaf-y, but more of a thick minced meat stew (inclusing all veggies), topped with those mashed potatoes. Is this a particular style or family recipe ?
