United Parcel Service

August 11, 2014 by Ullrich

I like wrapping, rolling, packaging food – it brings love and elegance to your table. Here, beetroot leaves make a perfect coating for fish fillets topped with mushroom duxelles. Just excellent!

Fighting the holiday speck…

August 25, 2013 by Ullrich

In the past four weeks of fancy summer holidays, my Body-Mass-Index has shot up from 25 to over 27. So I switch to the leaner, greener, cleaner stuff for some time, alas, but the French greengrocers won’t let me down.

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.

Fourty shades of pray: French tourte

May 26, 2013 by Ullrich

Sowing for summer: Home-grown herbs

April 14, 2013 by Ullrich
