RECIPES
Crumbly Cheese Cookies
These cookies are crumbly and delicate, perfect for a get-together with friends over beer, or simply as a savory snack.
Zucchini and Mushroom Stew
A quick zucchini and mushroom stew with curry, cream and Parmesan. Great with pasta, rice, mashed potatoes or just good bread.
Little Pretzels
These very tasty, not-too-sweet little pretzels disappear really fast. You can also make them in a savory version.
Jamie Oliver's Beet Salad
Another simple and quick recipe. This salad is perfect as a snack, tapas, or a side dish for meat.
Potato Balls
Soft, delicate potato balls rolled in flour and fried golden. A wonderful side for fish and any kind of meat, and my daughters love them as finger food.
Smoked Mackerel and Egg Spread
A very simple, quick smoked mackerel and egg spread with pickles, onion and chives. Perfect on bread!
Vanilla Waffles
These aren't fluffy waffles (at least mine never turn out that way), but they're crispy and taste just like the ones from a waffle stand.
Duchess Potatoes
Duchess potatoes: a gorgeous, decorative alternative to mashed potatoes, piped into pretty swirls and baked until golden. Great with meat or fish.
Cream of Broccoli Soup
Easy homemade cream of broccoli soup with root vegetables, a touch of cream and cumin, topped with cheese and crispy homemade croutons.
Pumpkin Yeast Bread
A tender, not-too-sweet yeast bread with a swirl of pumpkin filling, a bit like challah. I made it with Hokkaido pumpkin.
Chili con carne
This is my favorite dish for guests, especially when I don't have much time to prepare or when I'm hosting a larger group.
Grilled Rosemary Fish
Fish rubbed with rosemary, garlic and lemon, then baked or grilled. A simple, flavorful dinner that goes great with mashed potatoes.
