These are my latest recipes When the asparagus season arrives in my kitchen and on the table it's a big party. And of recipes to prepare them I have already presented some (You can be found here), the most usual ones. This asparagus ragout is a version a bit 'more unusual on my table but very delicate and, I would say, refined!

Some of the recipes I prepare at my home and also at friends' homes.
Plates I liked and learned to prepare, adapting to my taste and needs.
Ma ... attention:
my recipes are in my own way and they don't necessarily respect traditional canons;
also because, on certain classic preparations, each village and each family have their own original version!
On this page, from day to day, a new or revised recipe may appear;
but also the story of a lunch prepared or eaten in company.
Just like some curiosity ...
Enjoy the reading!
Pasta bacon and salmon:
for midnight spaghetti!
♥
Every now and then I am reminded of the evening spaghetti put together with friends, at the last moment.
How many recipe put together at the last moment with what you could find in the kitchen!
As the memory of youth, early seventies ... repeated verbatim to what it was then;
maybe just a little more generous with the ingredients.
Those who pass by my house have known and appreciated mine for a long time Bienenstich in its most typical version, a sweet and soft focaccia filled with cream and then divided into many squares.
Very convenient when to use for many people (in small quantities for each one) but which always leaves the desire to be able to still have a piece ...
So, when there aren't many diners or when I want to pay homage to some of these desserts, I have adopted an alternative solution ...
Milk cream cake, easy and good
-
A cake filled with cream is always a pleasure: a soft casket that contains a sweet cream that melts in your mouth!
Of course there are both the cream and the container to prepare ... as in Grandmother's cake or in a sweet tooth cheesecake.
But there is a cake that solves everything with just one dough:
a dough that during cooking becomes a soft box containing the cream!
Viennese potato salad,
as Figlmüller restaurant
The restaurant Figlmüller, in Vienna, is known by the 1905 for its huge and excellent Wienerschnitzel, The cutlets breaded elephant ear of the Viennese manner (But that has nothing to share with the wonderful Wiener schnitzel ...); as well as the equally known Erdäpfelsalat: The potato salad that's where the classic accompaniment.
With its own special touch, like any self-respecting potato salad.
Ratatouille, Provencal-style vegetables
Mediterranean cuisine is full of great vegetable dishes, rich in colors and aromas.
Ratatouille is one of these great dishes and I, I confess, love it very much.
It certainly requires some patience and attention in its preparation.
But the result is worth the effort!
I prepare it like this ....
