This time I brought a couple of coquilles St. Jacques and a little box of emerald green seaweed salad from downtown Dresden. As my family is very fond of pasta I created a quick spaghettini lunch with the coquilles and the seaweed. These are the ingredients: For the sauce olive oil 1 red bell pepper, chopped a handful of baby tomatoes, quartered a bunch of parsley 2 or 3 cloves of garlic, finely sliced the […]

The green smoothie can be served as breakfast, lunch or dinner because it is so […]

Equipped with the BREAKFAST-LUNCH-TEA cookbook and all the necessary ingredients and tools, making scones for the first time went very smooth. Rose Carrarini doesn’t exaggerate saying that these scones smell like […]
Every year for 2 months the Ostrale invites national and international artists to take part in a remarkable event at a historical site. The Hans-Erlwein-slaughterhouse offers 15.000 m² exhibition space and an outdoor area more than three times larger.
