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 …
In my childhood Bulgur was only ever served as a properly spiced side dish or with vegetables and meat as the main course. I really can’t remember a bulgur salad. But in the meantime the tide has turned. As with couscous salads, I usually just open the fridge and see what’s inside. So Bulgur salad …
No potatoes in the Levant? Who says so? First of all, people there are absolutely crazy about fried potatoes and secondly, they like to have a fresh potato salad for the barbecue. But here, the mayonnaise is missing and in addition to that, garlic is added in a very appetizing way 😉 But what’s the …
The absolutely tastiest things are often easy and quick to prepare. When I don’t put sugar on my beetroot (yes, I really do and it’s delicious!), I like to make a beetroot salad out of it. By the way, I like the small red beets not only because of their taste, they also allow me …

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. …
Whenever I prepare something with Freekeh, I have the song from Run D.M.C. in my head. The song is called “It’s Tricky”, but in my funny brain it always changes to “It’s Freaky” Freekeh of course has nothing at all to do with freaky. It is green, i.e. wheat harvested unripe, which is dried and …
