Salmon with avocado and coriander salsa

February 27th, 2019 | main dishes

Pling! My mobile signaled me a message. My son. Yesterday, he had asked for my recipe for salmon with avocado and coriander salsa via WhatsApp. Today then the question: “Do you roast the salmon from both sides?” Second – Pling! – I received a photo, so the fish was already in the pan…

So I participated almost live with remote advice on his preparation of the dinner – in Australia. An hour later – Pling! – “My host family was thrilled! It tasted really good! “An ingenious recipe: in a maximum of 30 minutes on the table, even if you’re not a cooking professional…

This experience is already two years ago, when my son was in Australia for an exchange year. I think about it every time we eat salmon with avocado and coriander salsa.

Carinthian cake seen through a smartphone display

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.
