Frittatensuppe (traditional Austrian soup with crepe noodles)

Posted on May 25, 2020May 25, 2020 by Alexandria

Hello, everyone! I am happy to share with you one of our favorite soups: Frittatensuppe. Since it is my husband’s favorite, it’s a recipe I make often at home and constantly enjoy. It’s also something we enjoy often at restaurants in Austria as our appetizer, or to begin a home-cooked family meal. Frittatensuppe requires very little…

Potato pancake crust pie with a filling of ricotta and greens

Posted on May 1, 2020May 25, 2020 by Alexandria

I made this potato pancake ‘pie’ because I had a problem in my pantry and needed an immediate solution: I had a large number of potatoes had no business sitting around my kitchen anymore and bits and pieces of cheeses, herbs, and vegetables. I try hard not to waste, so my solution evolved into this…

Roast Chicken with Crispy, Seasoned Skin

Posted on April 28, 2020May 25, 2020 by Alexandria

Roast chicken is a meal that everyone should learn to cook and then make it again and again until it’s their very own beautiful creation. That is exactly what I have done here. I have watched my family make turkeys and chickens and learned little tricks and preferences for taste along the way. I’ve read…

Roasted Cauliflower & Garlic Soup, Two Ways

Posted on April 28, 2020June 7, 2020 by Alexandria

The method of this soup can be used for such a large variety of vegetables. I know that you can swap the cauliflower for broccoli, and I do not see why this cannot translate to potatoes, leeks, carrots, or any other vegetables that roast well and has a good, hearty flavor. If you don’t have…

Bärlauch (Wild Garlic) Spätzle

Posted on April 26, 2020June 7, 2020 by Alexandria

What is Spätzle? Spätzle is an Austrian (and German) egg noodle that is shaped by pressing dough through the holes of either a spätzle maker or a slotted spoon. You do not need any fancy material to make spätzle. Having the proper cheeses is important to make Käsespätzle (cheese spätzle), but fortunately, we are making Bärlauch…

Bärlauch (Wild Garlic) Pesto

Posted on April 12, 2020June 7, 2020 by Alexandria

What is bärlauch? Bärlauch, “Bear’s Garlic”, is German for wild garlic or ramsons. Native to Europe and Asia, I begin to find Bärlauch at my local grocery stores in Austria and Czech Republic beginning from April. Ramps are the relatives of ramsons and are found in US grocery stores. During the spring, restaurants in Austria…

Austrian Schnitzel: Authentic (& With a Little Twist)

Posted on March 25, 2020June 7, 2020 by Alexandria

Schnitzel mit mir machen! In this recipe, I explain the method taught to me by my husband’s side of the family and the methods that I have adopted as my own (labeled “authentic” and “unauthentic”). There are some slight variations, as in how to season the flour vs. bread crumbs, what type of oil to…

Mushroom, Carrot, and Parsnip Stew

Posted on March 19, 2020June 7, 2020 by Alexandria

This recipe is based on the NYTimes recipes for “Fresh and Wild Mushroom Stew”. The idea of this recipe sounded really good for a cold night, but I did not have the types of mushrooms that this recipe called for so I adapted the recipe to make it way less reliant on (more expensive) mushrooms…

Pick-Me-Up Bone Broth

Posted on March 19, 2020April 2, 2020 by Alexandria

Bone broth is something I enjoy making since I prefer to purchase entire chickens when they are available. Purchasing an entire chicken means that you get a week’s worth (even more, if you freeze the broth!) of meals, rather than just one or two nights. I will give you my recipe, assuming that you have…

Food brings loved ones together and nurtures tradition and nothing harnesses more joy than pouring my love into a home-cooked meal.

The more I continue to learn, the more I cherish each vegetable and herb and plump chicken that graces my kitchen. Meals should be simple, homemade, and beautiful in content.
