Turnip stew - just delicious!
January 2nd, 2018 | main dishes
After all that festive roasts and gourmet buffets we feel like cooking something pretty simple. Outside it’s cold and dark and new year still seems to be a bit unreal and strange. Could there be anything better than a fine warming stew with an almost forgotten vegetable, the turnip?
Many people consider turnips to be cattle feed, whereas older people don’t like to remember this vegetable because during World War I and II often it was the only available food. I’d love to see this vegetable getting popular again!

In a few days my dearest captain will leave to sign on his next ship.

24 hours Budapest
This rush was not even necessary during our visit to Budapest. After all, this was not a “shoreleave” of the usual kind.

Invited by our dear friend, the ship’s doctor.

This is admittedly the reason why we sometimes use exquisite and expensive spices in a quite lavish way. Anyway, our saffron almond risotto with chorizo certainly succeeds with less than two cans of saffron.
