Onion cake with pear and walnuts
October 7th, 2018 | main dishes
Onion cake belongs to fall like falling leaves, mushrooms, fog and a bit of sentiment that summer is going on. This autumn, I changed my classic a bit and turned it into a tart. And what goes well with onions? Bacon, of course, and pears and blue cheese. A few walnuts on top – and the beautiful autumn soul warmer is ready.
Sure, I’m an absolute supporter of “homemade food”. I try to buy as little processed food as possible. Convenience normally is not on our table. With this onion cake, however, a ready-made pizza dough from the cooling shelf is a great alternative if things need to be done quickly. Thus, I can turn a blind eye – after all, you have already shed enough tears when cutting onions…
Who does not like blue cheese, can replace it with grated Parmesan!

This hotel is a dream!

Carinthian cake – like on the alp
An Austrian farmer’s wife gave me the recipe for this traditional Carinthian cake. Many years ago, when there was no internet and no airbnb, we had rented their mountain hut for the summer holidays. A hut without running water, without electricity and light. But with a wood stove, ringing cowbells, marmots and heavenly peace. As a welcome gift, we found this cake on the table. When I bake it today, I can almost smell the hut.

Via Romea Germanica – all roads lead to Rome
… some even on foot. My journey from Stade near Hamburg to Rome begins on Pentecost Sunday. On foot. 2,200 kilometers in 111 days. In the footsteps of Abbot Albert, who walked this path as early as 1236 to reach the center of Christianity. 105 hiking days, 6 rest days, 105 different overnight stays. The route is the goal.
