  1. 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 …

    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.

    Next time I want to make "tororo soba" (Japanese mountain yam with soba). Forgot to get the yamaimo (Dioscorea japonica) yesterday for that dish. Purple sweet potato wheat noodles with seaweed, yolk and natto for now. To eat you stir the ingredients together and the whole thing turns into a slimy mess.

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

  5. 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 !

  6. 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 …

    What is the difference between zwiebelkuchen and flammkuchen?


    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.

  8. 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 🤭

    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 ?

    salmon with cheese and fishy bechamel

    this was good?


    Why should there be cheese ? 
     

    It is individually blanched cubes of salmon, broccoli florets and edamame. Placed in a buttered form and topped with said bechamel (butter, flour, milk infused with a dashi sachet and smoked mackerel bits), then broiled. Yeap - it was very good.
