Salmon and Gin

I am stoked! By my own food… It just happened.

I just wanted to finish some blog posts I was working on when I decided to have a quick lunch. Supermarket – Fresh salmon, some herbs, yoghurt and a cucumber. Back home I started preparing the salmon when the cucumber was looking at me screaming: GIN, GIN…

I can`t help myself but since a while Gin is one of my favorite drinks when going out. It is a super various drink and combinations are endless…but thats another story. Anyway cucumber is one of many good supplements for a Gin Tonic and apparently my brain is linking that innocent vegetable almost automatically with Gin.

As a while ago we already had the idea of creating a GIN-Menu (variety and so on…) I started experimenting with the following ingredients:

Salmon
Cucumber
Mint
Dill
Yoghurt
Pistacio

And thats the result:

Steamed salmon with a pistachio crunch – Gin cucumber salad with black pepper – yoghurt mint dip

…accompanied by a small Gin mare with Fevertree Tonic mediterranean and without (!) rosemary.

The only downside of conferences is the fact that you are sitting for many many hours while eating a lot of cookies and sandwiches. 🙂

So when I came home tonight after two long conference days I immediately went for a run, followed by a quick grocery shopping. Read more

Mozzarella di Bufala

The Italian cuisine is famous for it’s simple dishes. Best and most tasty proof for that is this dish. It’s not about preparation is just about good ingredients and how to serve it. Basically you need

Mozzarella di Bufala
Cherry tomatoes
Basel
Olive oil (pressed cold)
Salt

If you can find some fresh Buratta you can use this instead of the Mozzarella. Even more creamy 🙂

This time I used some Hawaiian smoked salt. For people wondering where the black dots are coming from.

Pasta made from zucchini

September 10, 2013info@daiandiamo.netRecipeslow carb, pasta, zucchini

I love Pasta. I can eat it twice a day and also for breakfast. After one week without pasta I become insufferable. I love it but…belly, legs and butt doesn’t. Puh! Some weeks ago I heard about this veggie pasta and since then life seems to be so much easier. 🙂

Actually this is not even an recipe but more the basis for many super tasty dishes. All you need is a potato peeler and zucchinis.

Preparation:

Heat water in a cooking pot until it’s boiling. In the meantime wash the Zucchini under cold water. Add some salt to the water (as when you are cooking pasta) then peel the zucchini into the water. Don’t use the inner part with the grains. Cook them for about 5 minutes. They still should be firm. Al dente. 🙂 Then drain the zucchini same way you would do with your pasta. Done. You can now add every sauce you would have with your “normal” pasta.
