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 […]

Fish Filet with Herbs Crust Provençal
During my childhood in Germany my mother used to make fish filet with herbs crust. She bought it deep-freezed from the supermarket. You might have seen it yourself in your local store. You will find it from different producers called “Cod Bordelaise” or “Cod Provençal”. In Germany they call it “Schlemmerfilet”. It was our favorite […]
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 […]

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.

Seasoning Mix “Herbes de Provence”

Homemade Ginger Syrup
Some weeks ago, there was a virus going around, which my daughter catched and brought home. It took quite a while until I also started to feel a scratching in my throat. A few years ago I learned from some friends about ginger syrup they always buy in their local supermarket. Unfortunately, where I live […]
Homemade Sauerkraut
Yes, I am German, but this is not the reason why I love Sauerkraut: my Greek husband loves Sauerkraut as much as I do! Especially the way the French prepare the “Choucroût garni”: Sauerkraut with different kind of sausages and smoked meat, is veeeery nice! You should try it! Just cook the Sauerkraut with a […]
Cold Brew Freddo Cappuccino
There are a lot of recipes existing in the net for cold brew coffee. But did you ever think about a Freddo Cappuccino made from cold brew coffee? In summer I love to drink ice-cold coffee. In Greece most people drink “Frappé”, a cold coffee made from cold water and instant coffee, foamed up by […]
