“I want more nights on the couch with zucchini fries watching bad reality television.” Chrissy Teigen
Greek treasure
The best basic ingredients turn cooking into art. That’s why we pamper salad leaves and grilled vegetables with an olive oil rooted in the Greek peninsula Peloponnese, at home in Switzerland. Mako is the name of the fine wine whose raw material Markus Haimburger’s dad in Greece grows with the same love as did for his offspring. The latter sells the oil, which tastes more velvety on the tongue than the corresponding textile on the skin, in Switzerland – in a 500 ml earthenware bottle at for approx. 35.-.
Pancakes
It doesn’t take much and we are in heaven. Four ingredients: egg, butter, salt and pepper. We use them to create omelettes with cheese and bacon, mushrooms, rice wine or smoked fish. In between, the cookbook “The Omelette School” also contains sweet alternatives and plenty of instructions for whipping, heating and folding the egg dish, which we still whip up in the evening when it’s too late even for pasta. Gero von Randow, “Die Omelettschule”, Prestel, from mid-September 2019, approx. 29.-
