My neighbor is Californian with Filipino roots and when he throws impromptu dinner parties in his kitchen, not only are the people around the table a colorful mix, but also the unforgettable menus he serves us. Inspired by these inspiring evenings with their creatively composed food combinations, I once again dared to try a cross-over number for our new recipe of the week: lentil and leek kedgeree, a spicy dish from Anglo-Indian cuisine made from green French ones Lentils, Portuguese smoked mackerel and free-range eggs from Brandenburg. Comfort food with an international twist!

For our current recipe of the week, we went on a culinary excursion to anabela's kitchen. Here we meet the Portuguese exile living in Berlin, who is preparing two summery salads with Portuguese fish specialties for us. We can look over her shoulder, listen to her memories of her old homeland and learn a lot about everyday restaurant life...

Spring is here and with it comes the desire for fresh recipes and bright colors! After the last sumptuous, hearty dishes of winter, we now feel like something light. And by that I mean the preparation. We looked around the store and just got inspired. The result was two recipes for a spring-like, aromatic lunch or an uncomplicated dinner including an aperitif: a tomato and sheep's cheese cream that goes fantastic as a dip with raw vegetables or crackers (starter / aperitif) and a seasonally inspired pesto made from wild garlic, Parmigiano Reggiano and Hazelnuts (main course). A culinary encounter between France, Italy and Germany. Apparently international understanding also goes through the stomach :)
