The Photo Alone Makes Me Hungry


It’s been some time, and I thought I should post something into my category of food photography again. Above you can see a photo that I shot some months ago. I just remember that I came back home after a long hike during very cold weather, and my aunt prepared this dish for us all. Nothing could be better than a warm dish, after a hike in the cold weather, and I was very happy when I saw that my aunt prepared potato croquettes with a delicious sauce, a nice steak and peas and roots. Some time passed after I … Continue reading The Photo Alone Makes Me Hungry

Weekly Photo Challenge: Vibrant


The theme of the recent WordPress Photo Challenge is about vibrant colors. I thought I would participate with a photo of a salad. I do not only like to eat salads, I do also like the colors of salads. I do usually add tomato, cucumber, lettuce and paprika to my salads, that means there are at least two vibrant colors, red and green, unless I add a paprika with a different colour like green or yellow.

Walnut Cake


It’s time to add a photo post to the category delicious or to the food photography category again. I spotted a quite big bakery in Reinfeld, and I was surprised because we don’t have such a big bakery in the bigger city Lübeck. But the bakery was near the Autobahn, it’s a good place for them, and it explains why the shop is so big. They had all kind of cakes, but I decided to purchase a walnut cake. The cake was really delicious, and when I was done with it, I hated myself for the decision to only purchase … Continue reading Walnut Cake

Mashed Potatoes With Spinach And Fried Eggs


I am pretty much sure I posted photos of this dish quite often on my blog, because it’s one of my favorite dishes. Mashed potatoes with spinach and fried eggs, that is a fairly simple dish, even an untalented cook like me can prepare it. I know a lot of people who use a convenience product, a potato puree powder, you just boil water up, then you mix in the powder and milk. But you can also make it on your own if you have more time, it does even taste better. To fry eggs, that is no rocket science … Continue reading Mashed Potatoes With Spinach And Fried Eggs

Grandma’s 72nd Birthday


Yesterday was grandma’s 72nd birthday, and of course the family celebrated it and sat together. The sister of my grandma did bake one delicious tart and one delicious cake, and grandma bought the third one in a store. The tart on the photo above is baked by her sister, it was a very delicious peach tart. We always agree, she knows how to bake tarts. She did also create cakes that we call “Amerikaner” here, translated that means “American”, it’s the cake with the smile you see below. This cake is just called that way since I can think, probably … Continue reading Grandma’s 72nd Birthday
