Rediscovering cooking
I am on a new journey. It is called "cooking" and on my path I meet foreign vegetables, strange meats and other tasty ingredients.
It all started when after a long and drunken night-out in Aachen Don, a good old friend of mine handed me a present in the back of a taxi. I opened it straight when I got home and all of a sudden had become the owner of a copy of the "Satt" Kochbuch ("Full" cookbook).
Now "Satt" is a cookbook with a difference. First of all it's in quite a different format and second of all it's also a beautiful book because of its artwork. Not surprisingly, Werner Koehler, the hobby chef and author behind "Satt" is a good friend of Detlev Kellermann, a reknowned Illustrator. This Cologne-Aachen connection produced a culinary read with a difference and even if you're not into cooking - it's still worth it having it on the shelf or to get them tastbuds going.
I tried out the first recipe last Saturday and I would call it a 66% success - I shall improve, I promise!
The book is written in German - and here is the link to Amazon.de .
