Peter's Käsespätzle
Felice @morinoko
I'm visiting my uncle in Germany right now and today he showed me how to make his version of Käsespätzle or spätzle with cheese! Spätzle are a kind of egg noodle from southwest Germany. This is a really popular way to prepare them.
You can use packaged spätzle (should be easily available in US, too, in international sections or shops), or make your own - I have a recipe in my profile if you search :)

Top that with a third of the cheese.

German Lentil Stew with Spätzle Noodles (Linsen mit Spätzle)
German comfort food! Linsen und Spätzle is a local dish from Southern Germany in the Swabia/Black Forest region. This is my mom's recipes and probably my most favorite German dish ever. I included how to make homemade Spätzle, but you can also use packaged Spätzle (sometimes you can find in German/international section of the grocery store) or other egg noodles. Homemade Spätzle are so much fluffier and delicious though, so I recommend giving it a shot!

Yes, you read that right: fried lemon. As in lemon that is fried with onions and oil until its juice turns into a delicious, surprising sauce!

The result: yummmmmm!!This dish is best served at room temperature.PD: if you’re in an area affected by Isaias, my heart goes out to you. Stay safe and take care!

Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi with Sage Butter
Eating gnocchi on the 29th of each month is a tradition in my native Argentina. My mother used to make many kinds of gnocchi: potato gnocchi, ricotta gnocchi, even baked semolina gnocchi. They could be accompanied with sauces such as marinara, bechamel, bolognese, pesto, or a combination. Simple, quick, and delicious. Today I ate half the gnocchi I had made with butter and sage. On the 29th I’ll have the other half with marinara sauce.#gnocchi #ricotta #pasta #butter #sage #lunch #dinner #meal #quick #easy #Italian #Italy

My family is Eastern European (Austria & Hungary), so my grandmother used to make schnitzel for me when I was a kid. Now I make it for my family, and it's become a house favourite. Green beans make a good veggie pairing for this meal.

Hungarian Vegetable stew (Lecsó)
This is one of the easiest Hungarian dish. If you like spicy food you can add some hot pepper. Also if you don't like lard or shortening you can of course substitute with oil. Or if you are a vegetarian just leave out the sausage. 🤗 I usually make homemade noodles (nokedli) for this dish but any kind of pasta will do.
Creamy Radish Salad
If you don't like the sharpness/spiciness of radishes all that much, then this recipe is great. By making the dressing with creme fraiche or sour cream, you get a mild, creamy yet refreshing salad :) This is a German recipe my mom and dad told me about so we remade with our garden radishes. Adjust the amount of vinegar, sugar and cream to taste.Try mixing in other herbs besides dill or a some sliced apple. Some German recipes will add 1-2 Tbsp of horseradish too but I'm not a fan.
Spicy Garlic Noodle and Grilled Chicken
#12platesI usually make a small jar of garlic oil and store in the fridge. I use it for many thing such as fried rice, stir fry or even for dipping sauce.For this recipe, I made my own egg noodle (next time I will share how to make homemade egg noodle). If you want to use store bought noodles, buy the Chinese kind of noodles or yakisoba noodles.

Stir-Fried Tomatoes and Cabbage with Japanese-Style Worcestershire Sauce

Peruvian Shredded chicken and cilantro sauce
My take on a slow cooked whole chicken in a Dutch oven or slow cooker with a Peruvian flavor. Serve with rice, add beans if you like! Cilantro sauce is optional but really good. Plenty of chicken for a few meals.
Hummus (Garbanzo or Chickpea Dip)
Two of my grandparents were from Lebanon, thus I grew up eating and loving Middle Eastern food. This is how I make hummus these days. Note: A Nutribullet-kind of blender will yield a smoother hummus than a food processor will.#GoldenApron23 #appetizer #party

Salted Belly Fat
This is an old technique used to preserve meats and fish when there was no electricity or any other method existed, some experts say it dates back to the ice age. You can do it using any kind of meat in theory and it will last for decades so I've read, so long as the meat is fully covered in salt.
Cheese Fondue-Style Dressing

Perfect Pita Bread
This is a small batch recipe for 3 medium pita breads. The secret to getting them to puff up into pockets is a super hot oven (at least 260°C/500°F). I recommend sticking to white flour for this because it seems whole wheat flours don't do a good job of rising well (which means no pocket!).Great for falafel, or any kind of sandwich fillings you like. Here are a couple of my falafel recipes if you need one ;)Regular Chickpea Falafel: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/282549-no-fail-chickpea-falafelBeet Falafel: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/246975-beet-falafelButternut Squash Falafel: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/283109-butternut-squash-falafel

This chili sauce is plain chili sauce without additional garlic, shallot or any spices ingredients.

Very easy to make, and non frying chili sauce.
