German culinary adventures


Alexander and I seem to have a joint personal goal of NOT going to the supermarket every single day. Of course, this is a goal because it seems to be impossible. It's probably a generic complaint about tiny European refrigerators, but it does get annoying that 40% of the usable space seems to be occupied by mustard and curry paste. It also lead to mild hypothetical-end-of-days panic....what would happen if there was a disaster and we had to live in the flat for a month? Do we have enough emergency coffee? Would Sticklet taste better with curry or a simple mustard glaze?


Notable dinners to date have included:

  • Bowtie pasta with chipotle shrimp and chives.
  • Englischer Garden grill experiment: tuna steak and lemon apricot chicken with red peppers, pinapple and garlic bread.
  • Broiled polenta cakes with zucchini and prawns in saffron lemon cream sauce.
  • Hamburgers (don't tell anyone!) on ciabatta with pickled onion, red pepper and cucumber salad.
  • Some kind of exclusive Neopolitan spiral pasta (girella?) with eggplant, rosemary, chorizo and white beans.
