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.

“Bratapfel”

Days become shorter and shorter and not the sun is giving us some warmth now but the heat of a nicely burning fire. While sitting and staring in the dancing flames a smell of my childhood came to my mind. Sweet apples, a bit of cinnamon mixed with the anticipation of christmas season. Its time for a “Bratapfel”.

Just buy some sweet apples and remove the pips. Mix together whatever you feel like as a filling. I used minced almonds, raisins, coconut flakes, some strawberry jam and Nocinon (Italian nut liquor / alternatively you can also use some rum). But them in the oven and bake them until the apples are soft and the juice is coming out. Enjoy them with some vanilla ice-cream or just pure.

What to do with old bread? The answer is easy: Panzanella

This is a refreshing “antipasti”, traditionally served during summer time. It originates from Tuscany, Italy, and is a favourite found in almost all menus in the region.

I love these restaurants which appears out of nowhere and disappear just days or weeks later. These place are magic, probably because you even more enjoy that place when knowing, that this is definitely the first and last time you will have dinner here.

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
