Visitor!

My sister Claire came by for a visit (awesome!) and we got a bunch of really nice and fresh vegetables from the market a few streets down. Here's the result!

Bonjour, Paris!

It’s been three days since we arrived in Paris and we had our first visitor yesterday! My friend Alex came by and since it was her birthday, Franz prepared a birthday salad:



red oak leaf lettuce, a few sliced tomatoes, fennel, lemon zests, feta cheese, garlic croutons, and fresh parsley dressed with a crème fraîche, lemon, dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar and olive oil vinaigrette.



Alex brought éclairs for dessert! <3 they were gone before we could take a picture!

Good-bye Munich

Our last days in Munich.
My friend Markus and I composed a Japanese-inspired dinner:







Japanese rice with chili, black sesame, seaweed, and lemon.
Fried spring onion, ginger, garlic, chili, oyster mushrooms, carrots, and zucchini topped with white sesame and fresh coriander. Delicious! And a cool Augustiner beer…bliss.
(we fried the veggies in a bit of sunflower oil and deglazed the whole mixture with mirin and rice vinegar.)
