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.

Which German potato side dish is your favourite? 🥔🇩🇪
I honestly could never choose just one 😄
Creamy mashed potatoes, crispy Bratkartoffeln, potato dumplings, or a good German potato salad… they all deserve a place on the table.
So now I’m curious: which one would you pick?

If my replies to your comments have been a little slower than usual this week, it’s because I’m taking a bit of a break.
We’re spending some wonderful time by the Polish seaside, enjoying plenty of fish (both fried and smoked!), bowls of żurek, and more pierogi than I’d like to admit. At this point, I think we’re having pierogi at least every other day. 😄
Because of that, there won’t be a new video this Sunday. But don’t worry, I’ll be back the following week with fresh recipes and videos!
Thank you for watching, commenting, and being so patient. Everyone needs a little time to recharge now and then, and I’m grateful for this wonderful community that makes it possible.
See you soon! ❤️

If you still have white asparagus at home, make this soup 🇩🇪🥣
German white asparagus soup is creamy, delicate, and one of the best ways to enjoy Spargel season before it’s over.
I love serving it with fresh bread, herbs, and sometimes even little pieces of asparagus on top 😄

Cordon Bleu without the schnitzel? Absolutely! 😍
Yesterday's video is all about crispy white asparagus bundles wrapped in ham, filled with melty cheese, then coated in breadcrumbs and fried until golden brown.
It's everything you love about Cordon Bleu, but lighter, more seasonal, and packed with Germany's favourite spring vegetable. Even better, it's a fantastic way to use up leftover cooked asparagus.
Have you watched it yet? Let me know: would you serve it with boiled potatoes, Sauce Hollandaise, or just a fresh green salad?
👉 Watch the video and give this spring comfort food a try!

East German comfort food with a bold kick 🔥
My new video about GDR Feuerfleisch is live! This spicy German pork stew is made with tender pork, peppers, mustard, pickles, and chilli in a rich, hearty sauce. It’s one of those simple but incredibly flavourful dishes that became popular in the former East Germany because people learned how to create big flavour from affordable ingredients.
If you enjoy traditional German food, hearty stews, or recipes with a bit of history behind them, you’ll love this one. Serve it with fried potatoes, spaetzle, or crusty bread and you’ve got proper comfort food.
