Finding fresh fish in Berlin is difficult but not impossible. It takes a little planning but with a bit of organisation my husband and I enjoy plenty of fresh fish. One of my favourite dinners is a fish platter where I pop to my local Galeria Kaufhof and buy a mix of fresh fish they have on offer that day. I try and go on a Friday straight after work as their fish deli still has a good selection, or I go on on a Saturday morning. I like to buy a mix of squid, prawns, cod and scallops and serve them on a bed of rocket and baked cherry tomatoes….

Bacon and Spinach Baked Eggs
The weekend for me is all about a lazy brunch and a pot of tea! When I was younger I used to hate Sundays.

Bacon, Pumpkin and Feta Muffins

Bonfire night has always been one of my favourite times of the year and even though we always plan to make a trip back for it we never actually do!

Rosemary and Oregano Pork Chops with White Beans and Bacon
This recipe is a great one for the weekend. It often shows up on my Sunday meal plan when I know that I am not going to have the time to make a big roast. Having just moved apartments, having friends to visit and traveling with work the past couple of weeks I can safely say that this dish will be making a re-appearance this weekend in my apartment! …
