My husband and I aren’t big whiskey drinkers. Harry likes to have a beer every now and then, and I like to enjoy a glass of red wine from time to time. Whiskey isn’t really our thing, though. The only reason we still have a bottle of whiskey to hand is that we like to … Continue reading Pork Medallions in Whiskey Pepper Sauce 🍷 →

As you know, my lovely husband and I have been on holiday on the island of Spiekeroog a few times. Harry had actually been there a couple of times before we met.

My lovely hubby used to like going to Subway – the sandwich restaurant, not the means of transport – to grab a “Turkey, Ham & Bacon Melt”. Unfortunately, in our parts, Harry’s favourite sub was taken from the menu a few years back and he has refused to set foot into those restaurants ever since. … Continue reading Hubby’s Hoagie →

My husband and I love potatoes. 😋 That wasn’t always true for my husband, though. Because when he was a child, potatoes were served by his Mom as a side dish pretty much every day. No matter the main course. Except when the main course was soup and even then, it usually contained chunks of … Continue reading Ground Beef & Potato Skillet →

Last week, my lovely husband prepared a romantic Valentine’s Dinner for us. Of course, I helped him as best I could. ❤️ After years of waiting, winter has finally lived up to its name again this year and so we decided on a dish we think is very suitable to the cold time of the … Continue reading Duck à l’Andrea →

Exactly one month ago today, on our wedding anniversary coinciding with Christmas Day, Harry and I were having what was probably the most delicious roast I have ever tasted. 😋 Sauerbraten (literally translated: sour beef) is a traditional German dish for which the beef needs to rest in a sour marinade for about a week … Continue reading Sauerbraten 🍷 →

A few months ago, a doll tried to force a vegan-vs-omnivore debate on me. I made clear that, while I’m perfectly fine with veggies and vegans not being fond of my meat recipes, I would not be having any such debate. Next thing I knew she had blocked me. Well, good riddance! 🤣 So, she … Continue reading Colourful Veggie Casserole 🥦 →

🎼 I would do anything for love. Oh, I would do anything for loooove… 🎵 My lovely husband once sang this epic song for me. He’s a fairly good singer, you know. And he’s a great chef in the kitchen. So, what would be more natural than to wish for a delicious meal somehow matching … Continue reading Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf →

You’ve been invited to a barbecue and wish to contribute with a savoury salad? Then the “Bitchy Pasta Salad” is what you want! I know what you’re thinking and you’re right. How can a pasta salad be bitchy? Well, a dish needs a name. And if a specific person is responsible for the recipe, they … Continue reading Bitchy Pasta Salad →

I like it spicy – not only in the bedroom but also in the kitchen. 😉 “Räuberfleisch” (literally translates to: robber’s meat) is a delicious, spicy meat dish. In Germany, we have a saying which can be translated as “you also eat with your eyes”. And rarely has this been as true as with this … Continue reading Räuberfleisch 🔥 →

Today, I would like to introduce to you a very traditional German dish that my husband and I love to cook.

It is yet another dish that Harry takes fond memories from his childhood from as … Continue reading Beef Roulades 🍷 →

Harry once had a colleague named Valentina. He remembers her for being a brunette beauty like myself (*hmph* 😉) who once brought a pot of oven soup to share at work. 😋 As he really liked the soup, he asked Valentina for the recipe. Ever since, this has been his traditional New Year’s Eve soup. … Continue reading Valentina’s Oven Soup 🔥 →
