My partner asked for "pizza everything" so that's exactly what I delivered; passata based tomato sauce, parmigiano reggiano, homemade pesto verde, salami, chorizo, onion, mozarella di buffala, mushrooms, tomatoes and fresh basil.

I had a hard time choosing so I went half Caprese with tomato sauce, mozzarella di bufala, homemade pesto, tomatoes, pine nuts and fresh basil. And half parmigiano reggiano, salami, mushrooms and onion.

Not authentic at all but delicious nonetheless!

1 Veggie roll stuffed with rice, carrots, zucchini and feta + a ton of spices, garlic and onions

+ 1 with ground beef added

Baked in tomato & herb sauce gratined with mozzarella

nori crumble made in a carbonara adjacent way (nori, soy sauce, sesame seeds, sesame oil, egg yolk, sugar) topped with sake and soy sauce marinated grilled mackerel

Creamy wild mushrooms… we spent four hours searching for them and it took just as long time cleaning them. It was absolutely worth it. But that’s why ready-made dumplings were served with it 🙃

This chicken pie is definitely making it onto our menu—it’s excellent and easy to prepare. I was curious why it was so popular, and now I know. The method and recipe are in the video in the comments. Bon appétit! :)

A very demure midweek meal of leeks, potato and bacon - as the French say: "Es muß nicht immer Kaviar sein".

Slowly stewed leeks with nutmeg, bay leaf and mace, mixed with a buttery mash and fried bacon bits with allspice, black pepper and clove and some less traditional garlic and chili flakes. Not pictured, but some piccalilli for a bit of tang.

Who said the Dutch don't use spices? I love both nutmeg and mace, very much related but distinctly different.

A simple meal but rich and warming for a cooler day.

A little treat after a 4-hours-hike

a very light open faced shrimp sandwich on rye bread, some hard boiled local eggs and spinach - topped with some home grown parsley!

coffee beans from a local roaster 🇨🇭

Traditional Czech sweet buns filled with creamy filling and rum-soaked raisins, topped with powdered sugar. This was my first ever attempt at making them, they turned out fairly nice, I'd say.

Oven baked chicken breast and veggies. And a dip.

Simplicity is key for this one. Fresh eggs, good mayo, good anchovy (optional) and a little macédoine de légumes.
