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”

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…

Most Tasty Meatballs
Recently my daughter asked me to buy ready cooked meatballs from the supermarket to have at home as a snack. After strolling around in the supermarket looking in the deep-freezers and the fresh food corner we found some, made from pure beef and no artificial flavors. Most ready to eat meatballs were made from pork…

My father used to travel a lot during his working life. That is when we learned about Bitter Orange Marmalade and it became one of my favorite bread spread for breakfast. As not native English you first have to learn the difference between marmalade and jam as for the rest of the world marmalade is…
