You already know that I've not been cooking much lately. 👩‍🍳 But I made these super simple and delicious pizza rolls for a lovely natural wine picnic by the Donaukanal this weekend. I rolled the pizza dough relatively thinly (a bit less than 0.5cm) and in a square shape, then added: pistachio pesto, grilled artichokes that I blended into a paste, finely chopped sundried tomatoes, parmesan, and a mix of basil from my garden. 🤤 Rolled the dough, then sliced in into 3cm thick slices, then baked that at 200 degrees until golden (about 20 min). They're such a great and easy to make party food, and you can always cheat and buy ready made pizza dough if you're in a rush, as the dough isn't as important as for actual pizza. Swipe through to see the steps, and the final result. All paired with a natural sparkling wine from @lammidia - Sciambagn 17. 🍾 55 3
This post really doesn't need a lot of words. Meet my homemade pork tenderloin schnitzel, as thin as paper and as soft as... Well... really well tenderised, beautiful meat! 😅 Served with lamb's lettuce and potato salad, of course. Now... does this make me a little more Viennese? 🤓 90 4
I always thought that my passion for cooking went beyond sharing the end result with someone else. But since I came back to Vienna in June after my three-month long Romanian break (and heck, let's name it, my breakup), I realised that not only do I not feel like cooking (unless I have guests), but I don't even get hungry until late in the evening. This has nothing to do with the breakup itself, just to avoid those obvious thoughts that would pop into your mind as you read this, not knowing or having seen me recently. While I really enjoy fine dining experiences by myself and love eating out with friends, I find that eating or cooking alone at home has become something somewhat trivial to me and I only end up eating when I'm starving. Then, I need something easy to make and quick to eat. And even the salads that I used to prepare now seem like a chore. So today I resorted to a classic: omelette with tarragon and salmon roe. Gotta admit, the lack of practice led to an overcooked omelet, but at least it looked pretty! 86 3
Mmmm, pistachio ice cream from Aegina, the island of pistachios. Ok, the ice cream was lovely, but that, plus the view, oh my god! 😍🌊🌵🍦🇬🇷 #icecream #dessert🍰 #icecreamgram 49 1
I have to admit that I've been a tad disappointed in the Greek food here in Aegina. But this filo wrapped feta with honey, sesame and pistachios (this is the island of pistachios, there are so many plantations around!) was such a delight I ordered a second portion. I mean... How pretty is that!? #greekfood #greekislands #feta 124 13
What would you choose between a standout fine dining dinner in the city and a good spritzer and some snacks on a sail boat in Greece? 🤔 49 1
