There are just days when I do not really feel like being in the kitchen forever. Either I really have to get up to study or I want to sit outside in the sun and read a book. Or I'm out all day. Sometimes it just has to go fast and I still want to eat something warm. Since I'm not a big pasta fan, noodles usually fall away and I tend to grab something like the quick tomato quiche. Today on offer: quick leek cake! Admittedly a recipe hardly worthy, but with very few and simple ingredients extremely fast on the table and also very delicious. I also think it's great for parties or barbecues. Roll out 1 rectangular puff pastry from the cooling rack on a baking sheet, preheat the oven to 175 ° C top and bottom heat or 150 ° C convection. Brush 1 kg thin leek sticks, remove the outer shell and cut only the white and light green slices of the leek into about 0.5 cm thick slices. Cook the leek slices in boiling salted water for about 3 minutes, then drain. 150 g diced bacon or ham cubes (I have used lean ham cubes) in the still hot Lauchtopf sweat. Add 150 g crème fraîche and stir with salt ...

faster Caesar salad

I know, I know, the burger recipes are slowly taking over. But we just love burgers in every variation! Today it was time again. And after we ate a great Blue Cheese burger in the United States and Stilton is currently our absolute favorite cheese (after my visit to London in April), the dream team was set for tonight. That's why there was 250 g fresh ground beef per person, fried to a juicy, stil...

For some time now it's time again and you get fresh organic wild garlic in abundance. I love this versatile herb and its special taste. I've just covered myself generously with wild garlic, as you could already see with the wild garlic butter. Two or three weeks ago, during my lunch break, I had already eaten a very delicious wild garlic risotto from our lovely chef, without whom we would have bee...

fresh, homemade hollandaise sauce with asparagus and potatoes

In fact, I was just a full week blogabstinent, which, admittedly, is a very long time. You have to offer your readers something! And besides, I have a lot to read and comment. Professionally, I had an important 3-day meeting that I had been working on since October and have now survived. In addition, I was a rabbit care center and have now taught two rabbits, who have lived in my study. Now I have...

When I was in London for business last week, a typical British Tea Time was not missing.

Gorgeous! I've always thought of scones as a boring pastry and wondered about the var...
