Pass. Hard pass. No thank you sir. Other than the fact that this recipe screams ‘70’s, the grappa is so aggressive that it assaulted my tastebuds. I’m sure someone loves this, but it wasn’t me.
Chicken Cooked in Riesling
So. Much. Yum. The chicken is like butter. Not to mention that there’s butter in the sauce too. Since it primarily tastes of chicken and onions, I’m super happy with the outcome. Not to mention, if you have Riesling after you cook it, just finish the bottle as you enjoy the dish. The buttery chicken…
Things I bought for Germany
First. Mezzo Mix soda. I had tried this in my SnackCrate and I love this soda. It’s not as sweet as American sodas (although it is a Coca-cola product) and has a light hint of orange. I splurged on this purchase on Amazon but I love this soda so much. Um. You can’t cook German…
Broccoli with Almond Butter
Yum. Yum. Yum I love broccoli. AND I got my boyfriend to agree that fresh broccoli is better than frozen, and that’s huge! Granted, he thought that I should have cooked it more while I thought that I should have cooked the broccoli less, since I typically prefer to roast broccoli. For me, there is…
Pork Chops
Pretty basic but the basics are delicious. I grew up eating pork chops both from my German-American side and my Southern (U.S.) side. I do prefer the cooking technique here though. You sear the pork and then finish in the oven at a relatively low temp so they’re cooked but not cardboard. I had thin…
Potatoes in Béchamel Sauce
Yum. Absolute yum. You can totally tell that this is a French-inspired recipe. Other that the obvious that it’s using a French mother sauce, any time that you’re cooking a recipe that involves butter, cream and shallots…yep, that’s French. This isn’t a completely vegetarian dish. There’s just enough ham to give it extra flavoring, salt…
Germany. Week Four
Potatoes in Béchamel Sauce Chicken Cooked in Riesling Pork Chops Broccoli with Almond Butter Riesling Jelly
Aniseed Cookies
Yum! I was doubtful about these cookies but they are delightful. I like how they’re not super sweet and nice and fluffy. The instructions said to dry out the dough overnight, but I didn’t have time for that.
Currywurst with Fries
I love sausages. I was super excited about currywurst since I’ve made it once before, but this was a bit of a let down. It may not have been the recipe. I’m pretty sure I messed up the sauce and overchared the brat. I just didn’t like this as much as I have before. I…
Germany. Week Three
