+ Until Gabe Returns
A 2006 Chateau La Tour Margaux calls for an egregious DINNER so a “black-toed” chicken with butter-soaked rosemary stuffing was thrown into the oven while the evening witnessed aperitifs, mashed sweet potatoes, ginger carrots, and steamed cranberry sauce. But far be it for winos to restrain to one bottle so the competitor that rose to...
+ home furnaced pizza
First step, you need a proper pizza oven. Then, you need some skills to make the pizzas. Thirdly, you need a magnificent flaming fire. You combine these three, along with of course some red wine, good company, a comfortable home, and you’ve got the best pizza eating experience you’ve ever had. But then I did...
+ no name dinner
This one is for Fish People…uuuuh “pescatarians.” Credits go to South France. Sauté garlic, champignons, and yellow peppers. Steam courgettes separately. With Kerrygold, heat lachs, then combine all the vegetables. To plate, create a bed of potatoes, then top off with the lachs and vegetables. Sprinkle chopped mint leaves.
+ vegetarians rejoice
Cuisine Wrangelstrasse 5 decided to make Ireland happy this evening with a bed of smashed (or mashed depending on your mood) sweet potatoes topped with sautéed onions, champignons, and courgettes. First steam the potatz, then destructure into a paste, add a knob of Kerrygold, dash of red wine, and season with sel de mer. Plate...
+ get-well-soon soup
Today is celebration of International Sick Day. Together we shall fight off stuffy noses and itchy throats without any help from Chef Boyardee’s dog’s dinner recipes. Dump a ton of sweet potatoes, onions, and garlic, into a pan and sauté with a glob of huile d’olive until onions are golden. Add in some liquid and...
+ risotto au potimarron
With dwarf-sized sugar-hungry goblins and narks running around, it seemed only natural to implement some pumpkins for an evening risotto. Steam the chopped pumpkin up, set them aside. Have some fun cooking the risotto, which is about a two to three hour process. (Please call in person for a detailed tutorial.) Use plenty of Rosé...
+ friday steak
Cuisine Wrangelstrasse 5 was feeling carnivorous this evening and decided to try a hand at Black Angus Filet Mignon. Though pre-packaged in plastic and purchased from a local supermarket for 11.95 Euros, the filet was brought up to room temperature, peppered, and thrown straight onto the pan with zest of grapefruit. Not a very complicated...
+ start-of-winter soup
Like a proper Berlin-pleb with no funds for a juicy steak on a cold grey evening, Cuisine Wrangelstrasse 5 opted for a vegetable soup. Purple potatoes presided over normal ones for visual shock against the melee of carrots, onions, courgette, and zest of lemon. A dash of red wine, plenty of olive oil, and a...
