Red Cabbage - Rotkraut
Red cabbage with chestnuts, that's extra yummy, it ads a natural sweetness and distinguished flavor! Served with mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and roast duck or game – or simply with a mushroom-tofu stew. And: red cabbage is even more delicious when warmed up the next day!
Ragout
Felix taught me how to prepare this ragout, the main character is achieved by simmering the meat in red wine. Ragout is a well seasoned dish of small pieces of meat stewed for two hours with vegetables.
Butterzopf
Butterzopf is the swiss name for this utterly butterly braided loaf. In Germany it is called "Hefezopf" and in English "braided white loaf" and the "Braided Challah" is a bit similar, but not the same. Butterzopf is great for a Sunday brunch – preparing it the day before.
Quiche
Quiche – Leek Tart – Leek Pie – Lauch Waie, a basic rustic summer lunch or served as finger food on a party or apero, this recipe is the king of its kind. The texture is delicate and the flavor and aroma is a blend of creamy and country fresh.
Homemade Classic Hummus
Hummus is the most basic and one of the most healthy of the spreads, and it is one of the most popular Middle Eastern dips. What is interesting is that I've been making hummus most of my life, but it was not until an Israeli friend showed me traditional techniques that the flavor and texture really reached a peak. I think it's better than any store-bought hummus when done this way. I hope you enjoy it too.

Traditional focaccia (without sugar!) – to be served as an appetizer or small snack.
Kratzete
Spargel mit Kratzete – White Asparagus with "scratched crepes" is a typical meal served in south of Germany in spring time.
