Yesterday's cooking motto was "Die kulinarische Leichtigkeit des Seins" - in English: "The culinary Lightness of Being".
This time, we first decided what to cook and in the process, the motto formed.

For starters, we had two really refreshing snacks.

Snack One: Cucumber-Salmon-Nibble

Snack Two: Zucchini-Crab-Nibble

The Soup: Spinach Soup with Bacon and Potatoes

The Salad: Steak and Fruit Salad with Cranberry Jus

The Main Course: Rigatoni with Salmon in Cheese-Cream

The Dessert: Curd Dumplings with Poppy Seeds

Last weekend, we had another evening of cooking fine food with good friends.
The evening's theme was fish, so we hit the cook books and looked for inspiration.
After "free-cooking" without recipes the last couple of times, this time we primarily kept to the recipes we found and only altered a few things.
The result was that we learned tons of new stuff about cooking. It's really exciting to try out new stuff and learn to cook things you never even thought about.

Anyway, what came out on Saturday was a taste explosion.We started cooking at around 6:30pm and finished eating at about 2:30am.

Here are the photos:
