A simple variation of a leek dish in an authentic German Hessisch style. Make sure to add in enough bacons (Frankfurt Hessian dishes are rather salty!) and to crisp up the croutons to up the flavours!

Medieval Lombard Chicken Pasties
I miss London a lot. I can’t believe lucky I was to be able to make that trip earlier this year and be back before the whole Covid craziness began. I still remember how the entire Europe was still drowned in concerns regarding UK withdrawing from the European Union and how little everyone knew about the Coronavirus back then even when I asked them about it. Now, it is a different story altogether. A year has almost passed by and I hope that everyone I met back then at the V&A and the BM are all staying well and safe, wherever they are.

Home-Baked Hawaiian Pizza
It was the first time I’m baking pizza and it was not as difficult as I’ve thought it would be. Once you are done with the dough, you could think about what toppings you would like to have with it. I don’t personally like to eat pizza, but thought that the Hawaiian flavour would be the safe option to go with my first attempt since it is one of the favourites of my boy as well.
Jansson’s Temptation
This dish has a very interesting name – Jansson’s temptation. It was apparently named after somebody famous but I’m really not sure who these people are (possibly Swedish in origin) so I’m not going to say too much about this. In essence, it is a potato dish baked simply in a cream sauce, similar to a potato gratin but done in a julienned (not sliced potatoes) manner.
Linguine with Smoked Salmon & Cucumber
This is an interesting take on pasta linguine with a fresh squeeze of orange juice and rind and a garnish of fresh dill and cucumbers. The pasta tastes so refreshing and light, perfect for a Saturday lunch without too much of a hassle.
