Recipes

Pumpernickel is coated with horseradish fresh cheese and covered with cucumber, smoked salmon, dill and lemon. Dice cucumber dry and place the appetizers just before serving so that the bread remains firm.

Stoned dates are filled with almonds, wrapped in bacon and baked crispy in the oven. Lay down the seam of the bacon and pick up honey only towards the end, so that nothing burns.
Mushroom heads are filled with a mixture of cream cheese, parmesan, garlic, parsley and crumbs and baked in the oven. Clean mushrooms only dry and do not press the filling too hard so that they brown and do not water the mushrooms.
Flammkuchenteig is thinly covered with pudding, onion and bacon, baked very hot and then cut into small appetizers. Spread the coating sparingly and completely preheat the baking tray or stone so that the thin soil becomes crispy.
Tortilla chips are briefly baked with beans, corn, jalapeños and cheddar and served with salsa, stew and coriander. A flat layer and separately served moist dips keep the nachos crispy longer.
Spicy pork shoulder is slowly cooked softly with apple juice, crushed, mixed with BBQ sauce and served in mini rolls with cabbage salad. The meat needs low heat until it can easily be pulled apart; dose the sauce only after plucking.
Potatoes, leeks and onions are sautéed in butter, softly boiled in vegetable broth and partly puree with cream. Leave a part of the potatoes in place and add roasted onions on the plate to keep the soup structure.
Cooked shrimp, avocado, salad and tomatoes are layered in glasses and served with a lime cocktail sauce. All ingredients must be well chilled and dry; cut avocado just before the layer and drizzle with lime.
Cooked lentils are marinated lukewarmly with lemon-honey dressing and later mixed with cucumber, feta, parsley and pomegranate. Cook lentils only bite hard and drain well; take in feta and pomegranate only after cooling.
Rinderhack is fryed vigorously and cooked with onions, tomato paste, spices, tomatoes, beans and corn to form a thick party chilli. Chop in portion and let the chilli simmer uncovered; add beans only after roasting the spices.
Pre-cooked potatoes, mushrooms, peppers, corn and cucumbers are placed in raclette pans and baked under cheese. Drain the moist ingredients well and do not fill the pans too high to allow the cheese to brown.
Mountain cheese and Emmentaler are melted in hot white wine and bound with garlic and stirred starch. Stir in cheese at medium heat and do not boil, otherwise the fat can separate from the mass.
Puff pastry is coated with pesto, parmesan and dried tomatoes, rolled up, cooled and baked in slices crispy. A short cooling time stabilizes the roll; a sharp knife prevents the snails from being pressed together when cutting.
Mürbeig is pressed in small forms and baked with sweated leek, egg-sahn cast and Gouda. Let leeks evaporate before filling and do not overfill the moulds, so that the bottom and casts cook cleanly.
Minced meat is mixed with egg, bread, onion, mustard and parsley, formed into small fricadelles and fry all around. Mix the mixture only briefly and fry a sample fricadelle before the rest of the seasoning is fixed.
Marons, onion and potato are softly cooked with white wine and vegetable broth, puree and finished with cream and thyme. Let the white wine boil completely and add the cream only after pureing so that the soup tastes round instead of alcoholic.
Blanched Brussels sprouts are put into shape with cream, milk and nutmeg, and burgundy under mountain cheese and brittle golden brown. Cook Brussels sprouts just a little bit and leave them to steam dry well, so that they do not become soft in the oven and the sauce does not become thin.
Thin pieces of meat, broccoli and pre-cooked potatoes are cooked at the table in hot beef broth and eaten with herbal and mustard dip. The broth must cook gently, raw meat needs separate plates and poultry must cook completely.
Pre-cooked potatoes, peppers, mushrooms and corn are distributed in prunes and baked under raclette cheese. Cut the vegetables into small and drain well so that the cheese browns instead of swimming in liquid.
Duck breasts are slowly left out on the skin side and fry crispy, then rest and are served with reduced orange sauce. Put the skin cold in the pan and drain the fat regularly; only cut across to the fiber after rest.
Cooked lentils, roasted walnuts, fried mushrooms, oatmeal, egg and herbs are mixed into a formable mass and baked as a nut roast. Fry mushrooms dry and let the mixture swell before forming; hold them together, but not pressed firmly.
Salmon fillets are coated with a mixture of honey, mustard, dill and crumbs and cooked juicyly in the oven. The crust may brown while the salmon core remains translucent; check the cooking time early on thin fillets.
