Discover and master authentic German recipes every week with traditional, seasonal dishes made from whole foods—perfect for anyone passionate about real German cooking.
In 2013 Marta and Matthias met at ballroom dancing classes and discovered that they both have a bigger hobby than dancing – food. One year later they created a cooking blog where they have been publishing their favourite traditional recipes. Marta has learned cooking from her grandma and mom. Food was an essential part of her family’s life, and the traditional dishes bring a lot of memories.
Matthias has also been enjoying his time in the kitchen with his grandma since childhood. In high school, he had chosen cooking as a subject, where he learnt the basics. By the age of 16, he was already preparing festive meals for his family on holidays, and this tradition has been continued! It is undoubtedly that eating is Marta and Matthias’ biggest hobby, which became a profession in 2018.

At the end of this week, we’ll be celebrating Mother’s Day here in Germany ❤️
And if there’s one thing I’ve learned… mums usually have a wish or two for that day.
Mine? It’s always the same: a proper German cake for afternoon coffee ☕🍰
For years, I’ve gone straight for a classic strawberry cake, but this year, I started looking around… and now I’m not so sure anymore.
There are just too many good options. From creamy, rich cakes to light and fruity ones — how do you even choose?
So now I’m curious…
What cake would be on your table for Mother’s Day?

Cooking Pannfisch again felt a bit like opening a door I didn’t realise I’d closed. I went back to these simple Northern German dishes: fried fish, bacon, potatoes, and delicious sauces.
I really missed it!

Mustard sauce shows up all over Germany, and it changes depending on where you are.
In the east, it’s often served with hard-boiled eggs. Up north, it’s all about pan-fried fish. That sharp, creamy sauce with fresh fish just makes sense.
And in Düsseldorf, you’ll even find it paired with rump steak. A bit unexpected, but it works.
Same sauce, completely different vibes.
So now I’m curious, what would you pair it with?

We’re making German-style cod in mustard sauce, and it’s seriously underrated. Creamy, tangy, and way easier than it sounds.
If you like comfort food with a little edge, don’t miss this one.

I first tried German Cod in Mustard Sauce on a holiday in Eckernförde, and honestly, I couldn’t stop thinking about it afterwards. Ever since then, I’ve been chasing that flavour, trying to find a recipe that lives up to it. And I finally did.
There isn’t just one traditional way to make this sauce; there are actually two.
One keeps things simple. A classic roux, a bit of broth, mustard, and cream. Smooth, balanced, and it really lets the fish shine.
The other goes all in. Eggs, cream, and mustard are then finished in the oven. Richer, deeper, and a little more indulgent.
Both are worth your time.
I’ve broken down both versions over on the blog, so you can try them yourself and see which one you fall for.
The full video for the first method is coming this Sunday, and the second version will follow as a short on Monday. Yes, that was a busy week!:)

Just shared one of my favourite weekday dinners yesterday, and honestly, it’s a lifesaver on busy days.
Take a glimpse at this easy and affordable chicken fricassee made with chicken breast. It’s simple, comforting, and comes together without any fuss.
If you’re looking for something quick that still feels like a proper meal, this one’s worth trying.
