This is a variation on the classic ham, asparagus, boiled potatoes with hollandaise sauce. In Baden-Wurttemberg, potatoes are often replaced with "Chratzete", which are torn pancakes. Then why not leave the pancakes whole and wrap the asparagus and ham with hollandaise? I've already eaten a similar preparation in at least one Swabian restaurant. My change to their recipe was that I baked the ham slices into the batter while they...
E: On April 27, 2025, I was supposed to go to the Slow Food in Stuttgart, like every year. Unfortunately, my sweetheart was lying on the couch with sniffles, so I had to go alone.
As usual, on the last day of the fair, it was completely overcrowded. But... it's not enough to stand in rows of five in front of the booths. At an intersection where two wide aisles met, you had to stop in the middle of the intersection to chat. Everyone else had to...

Years ago, a kind of recipe was discovered on a clay tablet from Sumerian times, around 3000 BC. It had no quantities, of course, and two ingredients that no one knows about anymore. I simply left those out and came up with a recipe suitable for today's times using the remaining ingredients. Actually, the main ingredient is young goat meat, but despite EDEKA's advertising, I couldn't get it. Well, the advertising slogan is "We love...

The now familiar Frankfurt green sauce was not one of the favorite dishes of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, although that is always maintained, since this recipe first appears in 1860 in the Frankfurt cookbook of Wilhelmine Rührig.
The sauce came probably from Italy as salsa verde over the French sauce verte to Frankfurt, when exactly is not known.
Meanwhile, the green sauce has slightly changed found its way to Kassel. From Kassel...

Asparagus peels are waste for many because they are said to be contaminated with pesticides and heavy metals. I think that's nonsense, as otherwise asparagus wouldn't go on sale at all.
I therefore collect all the peels in the frost over the asparagus season. They are then boiled out in summer or autumn and the broth becomes the asparagus cream soup. A few peeled asparagus stalks, cut into pieces, can be used as inlay. 4 servings...

This salmon is classic because only salt, sugar and dill are used for the marinade. There are now countless recipes with citrus fruits and all kind of herbs. I doubt whether you can still taste the fish.
Originally, "buried" salmon was a method of preservation in the Scandinavian countries, where the seasoned and well-packaged fish was buried in the ground during the winter months. It lasted until the ground slowly got too warm in...

The title is an idiom. I really don’t know how to translate it in English. The profane version is sky and soil but I think, heaven and earth are the better words. Heaven is the apple from his tree and the potato is from the earth. The fried black pudding is an optional component of this dish.
In it’s simplest form this is mashed potatoes with applesauce. My idea of this dish is a little complexer. The mashed potatoes stay as is,...
Sorry, only in German. Am Geburtstag von meinem Schatz haben wir uns einen ausgiebigen Brunch mit allerlei Leckereien vom Fisch gegönnt. Abends gings dann ins Hot Stone Steakhouse Beilstein. Ich war vor etwa 40 Jahren zum letzten Mal in einem traditionellen Steakhouse in Frankfurt/Main. Da gings noch recht traditionell zu mit Hüftsteak, Rumpsteak, Filet. Entrecôte war damals noch exotisch, wurde aber auch angeboten. Dazu eine Ofenkartoffel...

On Friday, I picked up salmon from Frischeparadies Stuttgart, which is suitable for raw consumption. I once again came across mantis shrimp (Squilla mantis). They became our Friday fish dish on pasta with tomato sauce.
Mantis shrimp have very few meat, but it's very tasty and slightly sweet. You probably need 20-30 to really fill you up, so pasta with a sauce is an ideal combination.
Mantis shrimp can be found throughout the...

One of the best-known products of Swabian cuisine is Maultaschen. The name probably originates from the Maulbronn Monastery. Another name for these dumplings is "Herrgottsbescheißer" (God impostor), because the pasta dough surrounding them is supposed to prevent God from detecting the meat filling during Lent. 2 servings Ingredients:
2 Maultaschen (Swabian ravioli)
300 ml broth (beef, chicken, vegetable)
2 tbsp vegetable julienne...
