Flammkuchenteig is thinly smeared and baked very hot with asparagus, red onion and goat cheese. Thin pieces of asparagus and a completely preheated sheet ensure that dough and surface are cooked at the same time.
Glass noodles, vegetables, herbs and fried tofu are rolled in short-softened rice paper and served with peanut dip. Wet rice paper for only a few seconds and place it at a distance so that it remains elastic instead of tearing or sticking.
From flour, eggs, milk and herbs, thin pancakes are baked and filled with fried asparagus and lemon fresh cheese. Let the dough soak briefly and heat the pan only moderately so that the herbal pancakes remain flexible.
Rhubarb is steamed softly with vanilla and little liquid, the strawberries only follow after cooking in the hot compote. Thus, the strawberries retain pieces and aroma, while the rhubarb provides the desired velvety consistency.
Rhubarb is put into shape with sugar, vanilla and lemon juice and baked under grated oatmeal crumble topping. The crumble topping are particularly crispy if the butter stays cold and is kneaded only briefly with flour and oatmeal.
Quinoa forms the warm base, followed by peas, radishes, avocado, feta and a lemon-herb dressing. Well drained quinoa and an avocado meat cut just before the meal keep the bowl loose and fresh.

Potatoes and onion are cooked softly in broth, after which the bear's garlic is only briefly pureed with cream in the hot soup. Bear's garlic loses colour and freshness during long cooking, so it only belongs in the pot at the very end.
Gnocchi are roasted golden brown, then mixed with onion, spinach, ricotta, lemon and a little water creamy. Ricotta must not cook strongly, otherwise the sauce becomes grainy; Parmesan and nutmeg come first to taste.
Peas, spinach and spring onions are briefly sautéed in the oven-proof pan and set with scrambled eggs and goat cheese. Low heat prevents a dry underside; in the oven, the frittata only needs to reach the straight solid middle.
Young potatoes are cooked in the bowl, warmly marinated with apple vinegar and mustard and after cooling mixed with radishes, spring onions and chives. Warm potatoes take the vinaigrette; radishes and herbs only come in later and remain crisp.
Chicken oats and young potatoes are baked first with lemon, garlic and thyme, the asparagus is added later. Potatoes need a head start, while the asparagus should only be cooked until it has a light bite.
Salmon, asparagus, zucchini and cherry tomatoes cook together on the sheet with olive oil, lemon and dill. The salmon remains juicy when the vegetables are cut small enough and the fillet only cooks to the translucent core.
Onion is steamed translucent, then the peas cook only briefly in vegetable broth before mint and cream are purified. Short cooking gets the green colour; lemon juice and mint belong only immediately before mixing into the pot.
Green asparagus is briefly fried or blanched and served with boiled eggs, radishes, chives and a lemon-mustard vinaigritte. Cook asparagus only tender but firm and let cool before mixing so that eggs and radishes retain their structure.
Green asparagus, peas and spring onions come to the quiche floor and are baked with an egg-and-cream cast. The soil remains stable when the vegetables come into shape dry and the quiche rests briefly after baking.
Bear's garlic, pine nuts, parmesan, garlic and olive oil are coldly mixed into a strong pesto and are first combined with the hot pasta. The pesto makes some pasta water creamy without the sensitive bear's garlic in the pan becoming grey.
Risotto rice is sautéed with onion and gradually cooked with hot broth; pieces of asparagus come in time, Parmesan, butter and lemon only at the end. Do not cook the asparagus from the beginning and the risotto off the heat mantecare so that rice and vegetables keep their bite.
