The title was deliberately chosen because my teeth are currently being repaired and on some days I'm not allowed to touch my gums at all, no matter how soft they are.
The soup actually contains all the elements that belong in a normal potato soup. A good beef broth, potatoes, soup vegetables and bacon. After cooking, the whole thing is stirred until smooth with a hand blender so that no discernible pieces can be seen or felt. I only...

In contrast to the heavy winter stews with dried and frozen peas, meat and sausage, this is a light, quick soup without deposits. Of course, you can still heat up finely chopped wieners in it at the end. But that is not conducive to the current condition of my teeth. To freshen up the dull taste of the peas, I seasoned the soup subtly with dried peppermint. 2 servings Ingredients:
1 tbsp neutral oil
1 small onion, finely diced
500 ml...

A very old recipe consisted of 50% tomato passata, 25% meat stock and 25% port wine, which was only slightly heated at the end. But since I can no longer eat something like this due to my liver disease, I have adapted the recipe accordingly. After sautéing the onion, a double shot glass of port is added to the batch and cooked off completely. This way I get the taste of the port wine but completely without the alcohol.
The topping...

The sauce tartar is an all-round weapon in the kitchen and, apart from sweets, goes well with almost everything that comes out of the kitchen. Some even use it to mash their fine beef tartare, which I personally consider a culinary mortal sin. I especially like them with fried, mostly breaded, fish. Brawn also tastes much better with it than with the obligatory sour onion sauce.
Coming to the negative side of the sauce, it's fat to...

On Thursday, February 9th, 2023, I finally managed to visit the Norman exhibition at the Reiss-Engelhorn Museum, Arsenal in Mannheim. After all, time is running out, the exhibition only runs until February 24th.
For those who are not so well versed in medieval history, the exhibition would certainly have been worthwhile. There were exhibits from relatively cramped quarters of 500 years of Norse life and there was also plenty of text...

Oseng Wortel Wortel is a fairly simple vegetable dish in Indonesia made from carrots. At least garlic and chili should not be missing in an Indonesian dish. This is where the Indonesian sweet soy sauce, Ketjap manis, comes into play.
Ketjap??? Sounds like ketchup and yes, the term actually comes from Indonesia and originally just meant sauce. 2 servings Ingredients:
2 tbsp neutral vegetable oil
250g carrots, cut into matchstick-thin...

The Cubano is a sandwich brought to the United States by Cubans. The origin is said to have been eaten by the cigar rollers as well as the workers on the sugar cane plantations during breaks.
The Cuban bread, a soft baguette, is cut up lengthwise and spreaded in layers with boiled ham, Swiss cheese, gherkins and pork roast. A good substitute for the original Cuban bread are hot dog buns.
Before the revolution, tourists and seasonal...
