Another simple dish from the clay pot, aka “Römertopf“, and, after some experience with it now, some conclusions for my part. But first the recipe:
Farcyde’s Favourite Salad Dressing
I came up with this dressing a long time ago and it’s been an evergreen in my kitchen ever since. Simple and delicious – the magic lies in the tyrolian pumpkin seed oil (“steirisches Kernöl”).
Roasted Cauliflower Soup
I’m not so much of a mobile person at the moment due to my recent kneecap-incident that I’m currrently recovering from. But you can always make soup! We had a lot of snowfall the last days and a warm and hearty soup is a winter evening’s delight: Here’s my roasted cauliflower soup:

Homemade Gnocchi
This recipe from my sister-in-law was commented with “that’s how we make gnocchi!” by an italian friend of hers. Of course, this had to be tried 🙂 It’s surpisingly easy and no fuzz and they easily win the day over any store bought product.

Some time ago, a chinese(?) person told me to try adding shiaoxing cooking wine (which I didn’t think about on myself and which is, unfortunately, not so easy to get here).
As I always want to to cook as “original” as I can, of course I had to try that: Much better! Here’s how:
Home Cured “Lox”
The latest batch of home cured salmon is ready and half of it is already gone. I love that stuff! My sister in law will come over these days and hopefully bring some blinis (she makes the original russian ones), so everything will be eaten up by at the latest this friday 🙂
I don’t know if my recipe is in any form “original” or “authentic”, I just know it’s delicious. Here’s how to make your own:
