Ceci n’est pas une confiture.
No, this is no jam. This is a salad dressing. I saw the recipe in the latest Essen und Trinken für jeden Tag and made more or less my own version. This means: I didn’t follow exactly the given amounts due to lazyness. And I didn’t use pure raspberries, because I didn’t have any – just a mix of frozen berries.
Something new for my salad – Very fruity. And it goes very well with the olive oil. And it’s not complicated.
So… What to do for one glass of dressing that you can keep in the fridge for some days? Continue reading ‘Ceci n’est pas une confiture.’

Not garden, balcony salad!
Since november, we’re living in an apartment with a balcony. And of course we had to start gardening!
This week, we’ve already harvested 5 radishes, small and yummy – and today? Today was the big day: A whole 2-person-salad-bowl filled with the harvest of our balcony! Little salad, arugula, some radishes and the leaves of radishes gave a yummy little salad for our supper :-)
Of course, we’re veeeeeery proud… ;-)

An American Dream
Years (and I mean years) ago I was in Canada for a student exchange. Of course I got to know Macaroni and Cheese: a blue (?) package with pasta and yellow powder – If I remember correctly, it was prepared with milk (and no use of the microwave!).
(By the way: look how many ways there are of spelling Macaroni. Or Maccheroni? Maccaroni? Makkaroni? Complicated! I followed some packages of the original. The one in the package)
Some years ago, I had to try this dish again, when I was in New York; I bought a package: Well, it wasn’t really haute cuisine and nutrition by putting some yellow powder with a long list of ingredients (wheat flavour?! What’s that?!) into a pot is not really my way…
And then I read here the recipe for Mac’n'Cheese. Pasta, milk, cheese: too easy and no weird powder! Cool. I had to try it. No béchamel sauce, only one pot – it’s a cool food if you feel like something light quick, no long chopping, sautéing, nothing complicated. Just stirring to avoid that the whole thing burns. Robert added a topping of breadcrumbs – I omitted them.
200g pasta is really enough for 2, as there is enough cheese to avoid hunger.
I made Spirelli and Cheese – and for being closer to the original, I added a little bit of turmeric powder to make it a bit more yellow…
You need for two: Continue reading ‘An American Dream’

One of my colleagues comes from Lebanon and told me to make a Tahini dressing for artichokes. Some weeks ago I got some artichokes and asked him again. He told me a recipe (without telling me the amounts of the ingredients) which I also found as a salad dressing in one of my Moosewood-books.
I won’t tell you a real recipe either – just because I used the amounts that seemed to be appropriate without measuring. But I don’t think that you can make mistakes!
Just stir together tahini, lemon juice, and water to taste. If you want, add some parsley, and/or garlic or onions. Season with salt, and you’re done!
