fresh greens, bell pepper and grated cheese à la ottolenghi // kräuter&grünes, paprika und geriebener käse
one more time this fabulous salad is one of the great ottolenghi creations i adore so much. as the garden and the fridge do not always allow to cook original recipes line by line, i made some adaptions. but this was without any damage to the ottolenghi creation i guess. but see yourself.

harvesting bell pepper // paprikaernte
i read a funny thing on the blog goodthingsgrow today. the garden actually does not care about the fact that september and october will be the beginning of autumn and everybody starts talking about pumpkin recipes and comfort food. the garden still offers summer stuff like tomatoes, fennel, blackberries and also bell pepper.

blackberry ice cream and homemade ice cream cones // brombeereis mit selbstgemachten eiswaffeln (stanitzel)

cook it with samba and saudade do brasil: bolinho de bacalhao
for me it was a question of honor to participate in the foodblog event cook it with samba about brazilian cuisine, because brazil and me, we have a kind of love affair. there are a few dishes that to me are related to brazil in a special way. but many of them you can’t cook easily in europe, due to the very diferent ingredients. and of cause there is my personal challenge to present on my blog only dishes i cooked with self-grown vegetables. but i found something feasible and very important for every good brasilian evening out: bolinhos de bacalhao!
