Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Pumpkin soup 1 (Kuerbissupe)

    • TrishaCP on October 18, 2022

      I was really curious about this soup because it doesn’t use any aromatics. The flavor is pretty wonderful (I used kabocha squash) and by adding the butter at the end, it doesn’t taste too austere. I think the addition of vinegar here is probably the genius part of this recipe. I will definitely be making this again.

  • Cucumber-and-yogurt salad (Tzatziki or Cacik)

    • Beebopalulu on January 21, 2020

      Simple and delicious. Makes a lot.

  • Cottage pie

    • Beebopalulu on September 28, 2021

      Somehow the right balance of meat, gravy, and potato. The flavour really depends on how good your gravy/stock is.

  • Veiled country maiden (Bondepige med slør)

    • rchewing on October 31, 2023

      Absolutely delicious and so simple. Some sour cream mixed into a chantilly cream would be a nice counterpoint to the sweet apples next time.
