Spätzle are fabulous. Some call it Spatzn, some Spätzele, but where I am from they are called Spätzle. And baked with cheese and loads of onions? German Kässpätzle- even better and my absolute soul food. And those are definitely the next level of Spätzle. It’s like the German version of the American Mac and Cheese.

I caught them too often to count in the kitchen, secretly trying to nibble away the freshly baked Marmorkuchen. Nowadays, I have to hide it until I serve it. This

The German Hefezopf is THE essential cake for a Sunday coffee with family in Germany. When I grew up, nearly every Sunday we had coffee (well milk for us kids) and Hefezopf in the afternoon.

Nothing beats a good hearty Lentil stew with sausages and bacon in autumn/winter or any given rainy day to be precise. If you do not like bacon or sausages, no worries, just leave it out. But please ensure to add the lovage as this will give this stew its unique taste. I am lucky as

This Chicory Apple Salad is one of my favourite salads. It’s great on its own or as a side salad. The sweet and bitter balance in this recipe makes it a winner at our dinner table, especially if you serve it as a side salad with some schnitzel. But a grilled chicken breast, a
