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”).

Mushroom, Carrot, and Parsnip Stew

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

Better Cooking: The Journey to the Table

Posted on November 6, 2019November 6, 2019 by Alexandria

The act of cooking is only a fraction of the process of getting food onto the table and into bellies. Last night while lying in bed with a big, muddy dog at my feet, I wondered why I wasn’t writing about all the bits that come before you turn on your stove – the planning,…

Chili is truly a permanent staple in our home, and although I prefer to make it during the fall, this recipe can carry you through summer barbecues to cozy Autumnal weekends, family gatherings, and so on.

Where in the world? Where in the world have I been? It’s been ages since I’ve posted any new recipes. There’s been a lot of traveling and just a small break in between trips, and I prefer to stay off of my phone and computer as much as possible when I’m with family, my husband,…
