* mont d’or cheese fondue …

Posted on January 22nd, 2010 by admin. Filed under creativity, recipe, very easy food.


forget that tacky fondue pot …
it is way more cool without all that equipment, which just limits free space in your kitchen and house …

just wrap a wooden box of nicely ripened mont d’or cheese into some foil and heat in the oven until well soft and dissolved.
in the meantime prepare baguette slices, pear slices or whatever you choose to drop into that soft cheese.
nice are also baked potato quarters with olive oil and rosemary, which can be done in the oven at the same time.
or you can also add some grappa-soaked raisins directly to the box of cheese …

enjoy …

* creativity in cooking … 10 ways to enhance it …

Posted on August 27th, 2009 by admin. Filed under creativity, flowers, just thinking of..., news.


. it’s always been my love of little notebooks and to take down sketches and notes … so i have a moleskin and pen with me any time, because the best ideas will usually not evolve in front of the sceen or in my case, the pan. … take notes of ideas anytime

. cooking is a handcraft work to a large extent too, so while you extend your skills you will always meet new challenges … work to improve your basic skills

. everything is molecular cooking, so don’t overestimate the term and don’t fight it necessarily, as cooking has always naturally involved chemical reactions … be interested in the underlying chemical processes

. brainstorming or a white piece of paper and open mind are wonderful tools to develop out of the box ways … play with associations

. as i have raised my baby son at home up to now, i am always short of time, so i aturally had to come accross efficient ways to produce delicious food or substitute a product due to the inability to go shopping … and that made me create new things … make use of limitations of time or products

. replace and substitute products

. visit the local market with open eyes, integrate the plums just below the tree, employ what you find in the fridge … allow oneself to be guided by the product

. cooking seasonal food is good for you, utilising regional products is good for your environment, so … take into account seasonal and regional products

. be brave, let new ideas awake, but finallly remain objective – the taste has to be good, so at the same time … remain well grounded

to conclude … a funny experiment if you tend to have to much on stock at home … try living from what you have as long and good as possible for as long as you can … enjoy!
