Chanterelle’s Breakfast Waffles

February 27, 2011

This recipe makes by far and away the tastiest, fluffiest waffles I have ever had. It is adapted from a recipe that originally appears in one of my favorite cookbooks Staff Meals from Chanterelle by David Waltuck. The french toast, pancake, and spiced maple syrup recipes in this book are all as fantastic and worth [...]

Real German Cuisine Challenge: Pumpernickeleis (Pumpernickel ice cream)

August 31, 2009

This week’s recipe was Pumpernickeleis (Pumpernickel ice cream).  I’d always thought you needed an ice cream maker to make ice cream, so I was very much looking forward to trying this freezer/stirring once an hour method.  I let the pumpernickel dry out, but it still doesn’t grate well, I just broke it up into as small pieces [...]

Real German Cuisine Challenge: Dicke Milch

August 3, 2009

This week’s recipe was Dicke Milch, or Thick Milk.  It’s a dessert from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (just like last week’s recipe), which is the region of Germany along the Baltic Sea.  I had a lot of reservations about eating milk that was left out for 1-2 days, a lot more, in fact, than eating the sweetbread earlier [...]

Real German Cuisine: Buttermilchplinsen (Buttermilk pancakes)

July 27, 2009

This week’s recipe was Buttermilchplinsen from the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.  This state runs along the beautiful Baltic sea coast of Germany, and it’s biggest city is Rostock, where we lived in 2004-2005.  I never had these while there, but I’m guessing these are more a home cooking dish than something you’d find in a restaurant.

Real German Cuisine Challenge: Beeren-Kaltschale (Cold Berry Bowl)

July 13, 2009

This week’s recipe was Beeren-Kaltschale (Cold berry bowl), a cold berry soup for hot summer days.  Unfortunately, here in Bavaria, we haven’t had the weather to go with this dish.  We were wearing jackets in town for the jazz festival yesterday.  The weather report said today would be warm and sunny, but we ended up eating [...]
