As a child, it was a staple at almost every birthday party, barbecue, and buffet. While others would immediately reach for the meat or potato salad, I always helped myself to a large portion of this creamy corn salad. The combination of sweet corn, tangy cheese, hard-boiled eggs, and fresh spring onions was simply unbeatable. … Read more

I saw the recipe again a while ago. This time, however, it was called “fat-burning soup” and advertised with promises like “lose 4 kg in a week.” That certainly sounds tempting. Who wouldn’t want to eat a big bowl of soup and practically watch the pounds melt away? Our bodies don’t work quite that simply, … Read more
The small rosettes turn golden brown on the outside and develop slightly crispy tips, while remaining pleasantly soft and juicy inside. It’s precisely this contrast that makes the dish so delicious. It requires neither a complicated breading nor a lot of oil. A little olive oil, salt, pepper, and a few spices are perfectly sufficient. … Read more

The Chinese cabbage softens beautifully while frying, but doesn’t completely fall apart. Add to that carrots, spring onions, garlic, and a simple, flavorful sauce. The picture perfectly illustrates the consistency I prefer: not … Read more
It’s nothing fancy, not a modern trend, and not a dish that requires ten different specialty ingredients. Chicken, cooked carrots, eggs, pickles, and a creamy dressing – that’s really all you need. That’s exactly what I like about it. We used to have salads with mayonnaise on our table quite often. They were delicious, of … Read more
This creamy beef and shells is one of those one-pot dinners that feels almost too easy for how comforting and filling it is. Everything happens in a Dutch oven: you brown some ground beef, scatter in dry pasta shells, then pour one creamy, tomato-y, cheesy liquid over the top and let it all simmer together. … Read more
I find this recipe particularly practical on days when I want to put something decent on the table but don’t feel like spending the whole afternoon at the stove. The actual preparation doesn’t take very long. After that, the oven does most of the work. The meat simmers slowly in the flavorful sauce, while the … Read more
