Recipes
Toasted ciabatta cubes are mixed with ripe tomatoes, red onion, basil and balsamico and served with burrata. Let bread and tomato dressing be pulled only briefly; open burrata on the plate so that the bread still has crispy edges.
Shrimps are briefly seasoned with lime and paprika, hot fried and served in warm tortillas with red cabbage, mango salsa, lime yoghurt and coriander. Cook shrimps only to the very opaque middle and fill the moist components at the table to keep the tortillas stable.
Melon wedges are served with prosciutto, rucola and basil and drizzled with lime-honey dressing. Cool melon well and cut just before serving; do not leave prosciutto and dressing lying on it for long.
Peppers, cherry tomatoes, feta, garlic and olive oil roast first in the casserole and are then mixed with bite-resistant pasta and basil. Cook the pasta briefly and hold back some cooking water so that a creamy sauce is produced from feta and roasted vegetables.
Avocado, cucumber, yoghurt, lime juice, dill, water and olive oil are finely pureed cold and then tasted thoroughly. Pre-cool all ingredients well and add only so much water that the soup remains creamy; lime at the same time protects the green colour.
Chicken and potatoes are cooked with honey-mustard marinade first on the sheet; peppers and zucchini are added with a delay. Potatoes and chickens need a head start, while honey residues must not burn on the empty sheet; they must be completely cooked.
The courgettes are thinly sliced and marinated with lemon, olive oil, capers, parmesan, pine nuts and mint. Marinate the courgette slices only briefly and salt on the plate to make them flexible but not watery.
Halved peaches are briefly grilled on the cut surface and warmly prepared with burrata, rucola, pistachios, basil and lemon honey dressing. Use ripe but firm peaches and add burrata on the plate to keep fruit and cheese texture.
Puff pastry is coated with a cream cheese egg cream, covered with young carrots and baked with mustard, honey and herbs golden brown. Let the carrots evaporate before filling and leave a dough edge free so that the tart rises crispy.
Rhubarb is boiled with sugar, vanilla and lemon to form a piece of compote, cooled and layered with honey yoghurt and granola in glasses. The compote must be completely cold and Granola only comes into the glass shortly before serving so that the layers remain clear and crispy.
Spinach is allowed to fall together with onion and garlic, squeezed dry and rolled with feta, ricotta and egg in strudel or filo pastry. The spinach filling must be dry and cooled; spread the dough layers thinly with butter and place the seam downwards.
Salmon fillets are juicyly cooked in the oven with lemon, dill and olive oil; in addition, short-cooked peas are finely pureed with broth, cream and butter. Cook the peas only briefly and remove the salmon from the oven as soon as the core is still slightly translucent.
Young potatoes are cooked with olive oil in the oven golden brown and served with a cool quark of radishes, yoghurt, chives, spring onions and lemon. Roast potatoes with the cut area downwards and stir the salted radishes quark just before eating so that it does not become watery.
Onion and risotto rice are gradually sautéed in glass and cooked with hot vegetable broth; peas, finely sliced bear's garlic, butter and parmesan complete the rice. Stir in the bear's garlic only after cooking and let the risotto rest short away from the heat so that colour, scent and creamy bite are preserved.
Green asparagus is briefly fried and served with strawberries, rocket, goat cheese, walnuts and lemon-honey dressing. Let asparagus cool and add strawberries and dressing just before eating so that the salad remains fresh.
Sauté beef in portions. Roast onions, peppers and tomato paste.
Rub the form with garlic and butter. Coat and season potatoes like dachshine.
Fry mushrooms vigorously in a wide pan. Add onion and butter and fry translucent.
Knead flour, yeast, milk, salt and some oil to yeast dough and let it go. Sauté onions with bacon slowly softly, do not fry dark.
Orzo is cooked with onion in vegetable broth and then finished creamy with spinach, feta, lemon and herbs. Stir frequently and dose fluid as needed because Orzo gives off starch; add spinach and feta only at the end.
Boiled potatoes are browned on the grill and mixed lukewarmly with mustard-apple vinegar dressing, tomatoes, onion, rucola and seeds. Let potatoes steam completely before they come on the grill; lift Rucola first under the lukewarm mixture.
Berries-Joghurt-Parfait is a cold summer dessert with berries, Greek yoghurt, honey, cream and granola. It is layered and well chilled before serving.
Melon-Gurken-Gazpacho is a cold summer soup made of honey melon, cucumber, yoghurt, lime, mint and olive oil. It is finely pureed and served well chilled.
Mango avocado salad with lime is a fruity summer salad without stove. Mature mango, creamy avocado, cucumber, red onion, mint and lime dressing are freshly mixed.
Milk and cream are heated with cocoa, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon, then minced bitter chocolate melts in it. Do not cook the mixture and stir in chocolate away from strong heat so that it becomes smooth instead of grainy.
