The halibut, which is a flounder

June 27th, 2018 | main dishes

The name is misleading, because strictly speaking, the white halibut is a flounder, because he is right-eyed. His body is brown-black and white on the “blind side”, hence the name. It can become incredible four meters long. Ours was not that big…

White halibut is one of our favourite fish. It comes along fine-aromatic while low-fat and the preparation in the oven is very simple. A feast, which is superfast on the table. Promised.

1,200 g white halibut

½ bunch of flat leave parsley

Last weekend we were on a short culinary trip in Mexico, more precisely in Veracruz on the east coast of Mexico. A wonderful tuna fish with a fiery, colorful sauce awaited us and it was as if we were listening to the sounds of marimba and mariachi in the humid, warm evening air… Viva México!

A nut bread recipe and how I became a hazelnut godmother

I recently saw a report on child labor during the hazelnut harvest in Turkey. The post made me sad. But is there an alternative? Hazelnuts grown in Germany? I looked around and found what I was looking for: at the gates of Berlin on the Windkind farm with David and Silvia.
