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 […]
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 […]

In my childhood I grew up with Swabian potato salad, just containing potatoes, onions, different spices and oil. Since I moved to Crete more than two decades ago, I honestly prefer this one below. Especially on hot […]
Burrito with Mushooms
This is a Mexican Style vegetarian Burrito with mushrooms that even meat-lovers will like. You can use any kind of mushroom you like. I prefer especially “Pleurotus” mushrooms mixed with “button” mushrooms. You may find Pleurotus under the name of oyster mushrooms, abalone or tree mushrooms. Of all mushrooms they are my favorite as they […]
A (almost) Gluten free Advocaat cake
This cake I made a few days ago more or less unavoidably because I had an Advocaat in my fridge. This intro may sound strange. But if I tell you that I don’t like Advocaat at all you’ll understand. The first time I got an Advocaat as a present from some friends a few years […]
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 […]
