During his working life, my dad traveled all around the world. When he had some work to do in England he brought back ginger marmalade from Chivers for us as souvenir to try. I really liked it very much! So, during my time at school, I had the chance to visit England a couple of […]

Homemade Curry Paste
Since a few years, in Greece, where I live, it is getting easier to buy exotic spices in the big supermarkets. So, it makes it much easier to cook Asian style food which lately is the favorite of my daughter and even my husband is willing to try and appreciate. Still, some things are not […]
Neapolitan Sauce
The Neapolitan is a basic sauce that goes with almost every pasta dish and can be varied with lots of other ingredients like minced meat, tuna, salmon etc. You can buy it ready in the supermarkets. I wouldn’t call my website “Cooking without flavor enhancers” if I didn’t publish my own recipe here as well. […]
Marble Cake – an All-Time Classic
An all time classic, since I can remember. My mother used to make marble cake for almost every Sunday when I was a child. That is why I want to share this recipe. Every food-blogger is posting about the most fancy recipes they cook but I think, it is important to remember once in a […]
Fried Noodles with Vegetables – Two Ways
My daughter loves Asian style noodles. Unfortunately, during lock-down for one year by now, her favorite take-away Noodle-bar is closed. So we decided to cook it ourselves. Once per week, when she has the morning off from her online university lectures, she likes to try out different new Asian dishes and cooks for all of […]
Cream Sauce of Herbs Provençal
This creamy sauce accompanies very nicely a fish or rice dish. In my childhood my mother used to make fish filet with herbs crust. As side dish she served rice with a creamy sauce of herbs which she usually also bought as powder in a sachet. The only thing you had to add was water […]
Herbs Crust Provençal
The idea for this recipe I got when I was desperately looking for a way to make a fish dish I knew and loved from my childhood in Germany. My mother regularly bought a fish filet with herbs crust called “Bordelaise” or “Provençal”. Maybe you have seen it from different producers in the deep-freezing section […]
Seasoning Mix “Herbes de Provence”
As a child I spent two years in France due to my father’s work for an electronic company. During this time, my mother learned about French cuisine and the herbs used. Later, when we moved back to Germany, besides of the new dishes she has learned to cook, one thing remained in her cooking and […]
Noodles with Chicken and Vegetables
This is my daughters favorite Asian style dish! She first tried it at a take-away noodles snack bar, so she tried to make it at home. The result was really good, even though she for sure didn’t make it exactly the way they do at the snack bar. If you like it more vegetarian you […]
Homemade Sweet Chili Sauce
Sweet Chili Sauce is one of our favorite sauces. Especially for Asian dishes like Noodles with chicken and vegetables it goes very well. Usually I buy a sauce from my local supermarket… until I looked at the ingredients of the our favorite sauce, and I found it not difficult to make it myself. The one […]
