Yesterday, my son @i.am.ivg and I visited the @mash_hamburg Restaurant, a wonderful find in Hamburg⚓️🛳️ This gem is one of the twelve recommended restaurants featured in the @tastetwelve book, a carefully curated collection of dining spots worth exploring in 2024. We selected two appetizers - the seared scallops with caviar and the delicious Wagyu sandwich. For the main course, we opted for the MASH WORLD TOUR TASTE, a royal feast consisting of a trio of premium meats - Kobe A4/A5 Prime Cut, Danish dry-aged ribeye, and Canadian striploin - expertly carved tableside for two. As for dessert, we savored the Baba au citron! – a heavenly treat of whipped ricotta, lemon sorbet, and Sassicaia olive oil. The friendly service and inviting ambiance perfectly complement the restaurant’s picturesque location by the Elbe River. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a culinary adventure in Hamburg. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this spot promises an exquisite dining experience.

Spent a wonderful evening at my son @i.am.ivg and his girlfriend’s @anniwunderbar place! It was a culinary delight: •1st course: Field salad with smoked venison and Parmesan. •2nd course: Reverse-seared steak with carrot purée, caramelized carrots, and miso sauce. •3rd course: Danish pastries for dessert.

Give it a try and let me know how it turns out!

Little did we know, when my son and I cooked this dish together for the first time, that it would become my husband's favorite! On this special day of Father's Day and Ascension Day, I wanted to show my appreciation to him by preparing Cod al sugo mediterraneo e polpette di patate, a delightful combination of succulent cod fish, a tantalizing Mediterranean sauce, and crispy potato balls.

Calling all mussel lovers! This winter, elevate your dinner game with our - delicious seafood boil recipe. Featuring plump and juicy mussels, sweet corn, and a flavorful cider broth, this meal is sure to impress. Not only is it delicious, but it's also a great way to introduce friends and family to the wonderful world of mussels. Here is our - #olgasmoothandson - recipe: INGREDIENTS: •1kg mussels •100g smoked cooking chorizo, crumbled •3 tbsp olive oil •2 corns on the cob •200g potatoes, thinly sliced •½ red onion, thinly sliced •3 garlic cloves, lightly bashed •1 celery stick, trimmed and thinly sliced on an angle •⅛ tsp cayenne pepper •¼ tsp brown sugar •½ tsp fennel seeds •½ tsp dried oregano •1 tsp paprika •Salt •200 ml dry cider •2 lemons – 1 juiced, the other cut into 4 wedges •25g unsalted butter •20g coriander leaves, chopped Instruction: 🍴Put the chorizo and oil in a large saucepan for which you have a lid and set it over a medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, for 10 min, until crisp, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the chorizo to a bowl, leaving as much oil as possible behind in the pan. 🍴Meanwhile, using a large, sharp knife, cut each corn cob first in half widthways and then in half lengthways. Cut each quarter in half lengthways, so you now have 16 “ribs”. If need be, use a rolling pin to force the knife through the corn. 🍴Put the corn, potatoes, onion, garlic, celery, spices and a quarter-teaspoon of salt in the hot chorizo oil and cook, still on a medium-high heat, for five minutes, stirring frequently to stop anything catching. Turn up the heat to high, pour in 150ml cider and cook for 3 min, until the liquid has almost evaporated. 🍴Add the mussels, the remaining cider and a half-teaspoon of salt, stir and cover the pan. Leave the mussels to cook for 8 min, shaking the pan occasionally, until they have all opened; discard any that do not. Lift off the lid, turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice, butter and half the coriander. 🍴Tip everything out on to a large platter, scatter the crisp chorizo and remaining coriander on top, and serve with the lemon wedges alongside, for squeezing over. Enjoy👩🍳🥂

My favorite #autumn breakfast idea - an experience for all the senses👌😋🍂☕️ Here my recipe "Caramelized pear 🍐🍐 with Camembert“ à la #olgasmooth 👩🍳: 🍴Slice the pear and sauté in butter with honey. 🍴Fry the bread in the toaster or in the pan until crispy. 🍴Spread cream cheese on the bread. 🍴Distribute the sliced Camembert or Brie. 🍴Put a hot pear on top (this will melt the cheese). Sprinkle with nuts or lemon zest. Enjoy😋🥰 . . #breakfast #bestbreakfastever #breakfastideas #recipe #pear #breakfastathome #delicious #deliciousfood #healthyfood #olgasmoothskitchen #olgasmoothmotivation #breakfast #bestbreakfastever #olgasmooth #chefolga
