There are dishes I would like to write a song about. But since I unfortunately sing like a dying rooster and have also not cut a good figure in writing songs so far, I gladly leave this pleasure to you. Balilah is a dish that absolutely deserves its own song! With a good mezze, the …

I am a spring child, born in April and as a ram sometimes “somewhat” stubborn. But what always softens me up is a delicious couscous salad. Especially when my blood sugar level is in the basement and I devastate whole regions with destructive lasers from my eyes. So at least the mental cinema 😀This couscous …

As soon as the first watermelons are on the market, the big knock starts for me. I run from melon to melon and hold my ear to it and start my extensive examination. What does the perfect melon sound like? It sounds a bit hollow, but still not too hollow – do you understand what …

These were now so many good qualities that it makes the salad almost unsympathetic 😀 But don’t worry, the taste is definitely there too – and it’s great! Do …
When you’re really hungry, “salad” always sounds kind of lame, doesn’t it? When I’m hangry, I don’t want people coming around the corner with a salad anyway. Well – unless it’s part of a big juicy burger or something. There is one exception, though: broad bean salad. OMG! How good that the salad is so …
My little niece will soon be 8 years old and has so far proved to be a very difficult eater. But there are a few things she loves to eat. One is tomatoes – actually she should be bright red in her face by now. Then there is Taboulé. The other day when we were …
While in the Levant you can pick the figs fresh from the tree and enjoy them straight away, in many countries you have to wait until the fruit & vegetable retailer of your choice has the delicious fruit on display. But when it is time, there is nothing else for me for a few days. …
