France meets Maghreb – or is it Turkey?

September 28, 2013 by Ullrich

I owe this recipe to an excellent Turkish restaurant that I used to visit when I was living in Berlin many years ago.

What I always found very intriguing was how the chefs there were elegantly adding acidity to their dishes by using (cold) yoghurt. Acidity, in fact, is one key element of tasteful cooking.

You say tomato, I say tomates (farcies)!

July 8, 2013 by Ullrich

Summer times are tomato times, at least in Europe where the “paradise apples”, as the Austrians say, are really good only between June and late August. But then they’re really good – and you can create simple, yet delicious dishes without limits.

Three ingredients, lots of pleasures

May 30, 2013 by Ullrich

Asparagus makes an excellent salad, the white or green stalks are great when pan-fried or grilled, steaming would be a good idea – but I cook them à l’anglaise, as the French say when they mean: in water. It’s fast food but it’s great.

Fourty shades of pray: French tourte

May 26, 2013 by Ullrich

Everybody says: I love Lasagne

May 23, 2013 by Ullrich

May 1, 2013 by Ullrich

Think Germany and sauerkraut, Korea and kimchi, Japan and sushi, America and hamburgers. Think Spain and paella, Italy and pasta, Russia and borschtsch. But what is THE French signature dish?
