I usually prefer to make lasagna, because the chance to mess it up is lower. :)) This time I said to change and make moussaka with no meat. I half boiled some new potatoes; cut the eggplant into thicker slices and put them in the oven, in the pan, on parchment paper and seasoned with

Special ep. – Cherry Jam
As long as we can find cherries / sour cherries in the market. 🙂 The process was a long and elaborate disaster. I picked the cherries with these two little hands. For some long hours, although I did not perceive the passage of time, only the roaring song of the rooster (boy, this one sings
Ep. 13 – Beet Borscht
Tell us right now, did you succeed in not altering the original recipe? Weeeell…. :)))) Inspired by our neighbors (Ukrainians, Russians or Poles, as you prefer) beet borscht can be a long soup, my case, or not, in the case of Jamie Oliver. And even a cream soup made with a blender, if you start
Ep. 12 – Fish and Potatoes Salad
Chef asks me, don’t we better make a potato salad with fish? Well, what a question. :))) The recipe is inspired by Jamie Oliver and it is so good that it is worth sharing on fast forward. 😛 Some new potatoes washed well (I use a green alien as a brush) and boiled. Some fish
Ep. 11 – Tuna with Mayo
What else did you destroy this time? :)) Nothing. 😀 I just modified the recipe a bit, through the essential parts. :))) Well, I combined a canned tuna with red onion and green olives, a little mayonnaise, salt, pepper and lemon juice. I saw on the internet that celery is usually added and mayonnaise is
Ep. 10 – Cherry Tart
And what do we have today Fräulein? Eine kleine cherry pie. 🙂 Officially it’s one of the most complicated things I’ve ever done, considering that only the baking time exceeds one whole hour. Eine ganze Stunde !!! OMGosh… (Who does not understand the meaning of this, does not cook recipes for up to 15 minutes
Ep. 9 – Strawberry Cake
It is a simple, seasonal recipe, with a sponge cake and almond flakes, syrupy with amaretto and a cream of yogurt, cream and strawberries. The recipe used for inspiration had the cream made from strawberry puree, cream and food gelatin – you can try that too, if you are not a major disaster in the
Ep. 8 – Sort of Asian Soup
Well Claudia, don’t tell us you burned the soup too?!! :)))) I didn’t burned it, but I was close. 🙂 Yes, I know, I am a disaster. 🙂 This is a classic story: I put some thighs in a pot of water and started the fire. After that I went to the laptop, only for
Ep. 7 – Stuffed Eggplant
I’ve cooked it in the past, but of course I deviated from the original recipe. 🙂 İmam bayıldı as it is called in the original language, it contains eggplant plus onion, garlic and tomatoes and a ton of olive oil (from which the imam is said to have fainted, of emotion that his wife consumed
Ep. 6 – Rhubarb and Meringue Cake
You can find that great recipe online. I would have done it too, I just forgot to buy milk from the store. Well, I’ve been craving this cake since the heat started, but that doesn’t mean I’m also planned. :))) So I found myself in front of the heated oven, with some of the ingredients
Ep. 5 – Macedonian stew with chickpeas and eggplant
I was actually looking for cupcake ideas when I came across a book with Mediterranean recipes. On this occasion I found out that not only did the Turks take our stuffed cabbage rolls and eggplants on bread, but the Greeks also make traditional bean soup (lol), and the Spaniards make cousins soup…. uuups, meat balls.
Ep. 4 – Transylvanian Chilli
Onions, garlic, carrots, parsnips, peppers if you have, finely chopped, plus oil, salt, pepper, paprika, some hot peppers, for sure cumin, oregano or basil, plus canned tomatoes, plus some smoked meat as it is made in Transylvania, plus canned red beans. Chilli is made with minced beef, at some point I will make the original
Ep. 3 – Oat Cookies
Habemus the recipe. 🙂 In the first bowl we mix 250 g butter, 220 g sugar (brown, if you have) until the sugar melts (so looooong ???), then add 2 eggs, first one, then the other – by hand or with a mixer? the answer is yes; the butter should be cold or at room
Ep. 2 – Some Quince
Recipes for disasters as big as me. ❤ For everyone else there are specialized cooking sites. 🙂 In order to make this recipe, first of all you must have the right ambiance: Pink, listened loudly and about 2-3 utensils dropped by mistake on the tiles, in the neighbor’s head in the apartment below (if you
Ep. 1 – Pretzel from Frau Merkel
This year all articles with my kitchen experiments will be labeled “disaster in the kitchen”. Because there will be recipes for disasters as big as me. 😀 For everyone else there are specialized cooking sites. 🙂 At the end of last year I wanted to make breadsticks. From the recipe on the internet it seemed
