My daughter and I have been to a restaurant lately and fell in love with this dish. That is why we wanted to try it out ourselves at home and here is the result. But before you get started I want to share some tips for the success of your cooking. I prefer to use […]

Creamy Salmon Stew with Tagliatelle
One of my favorite fishes is salmon. Also, because there are a lot of possibilities to prepare it: steamed, fried, smoked a.s.o. This dish is one of my daughter’s favorite. You can use deep-freeze or fresh salmon fillet but make sure that it is without skin. In some of my recipes you may find some […]

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 […]

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 […]

The difference is first of all in size (squids are small whereas cuttlefish is large) and secondly octopus has, as the name indicates, eight arms whereas […]

Most Tasty Fish Soup
Saturdays we usually have fish for lunch. Either fried filet, fresh Dorado fish or salmon filet. Last time, my husband brought some deep-freeze cod filet from the supermarket. Unpacking, I realized that they were with bones. So I thought after thawing to de-bone and to fry them. Unfortunately, the way they turned out, it was […]

What to do if…
This was one of those days where I skipped my plans for lunch but realized that one ingredient for my dish is missing: cream for the sauce. Saturdays is actually our fish-day at home. Actually I was planning to simply fry some fish filet and make some french fries as side dish. So I bought […]

Salmon Filet with Spinach and Feta Cheese
You won’t believe it but salmon filet and spinach goes very well together, as well as spinach and Feta cheese. All three together are most delicious! For this dish I prefer frozen salmon filets. As the potatoes take long time to cook the cooking time of the frozen fish corresponds better than the fresh. I […]
