Pork Souvlaki with Tzatziki

July 22, 2017 By amodernrose Leave a Comment

I always say that Greek food is so much more than Gyros and Souvlaki served with chips, and it is. Greece is one of my favourite cuisines as it combines both Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavours and I am especially a fan of Eastern Mediterranean dishes. I love the fact that it is a diet that includes the freshest of fish including seabass, octopus, squid and succulent prawns. My favourite vegetables are aubergines and courgettes and just like it’s neighbours, Greece makes the most of these in it’s food. Kolokithokeftedes,…

Creamy White Asparagus and Pork Pasta

April 25, 2017 By amodernrose Leave a Comment

I have made no secret of my love for asparagus, especially the white kind that is hugely popular in Germany. The other week I picked up my first lot of asparagus of the season and made a simple but delicious White Asparagus with Cured Ham and a Chive Sauce. The smokey ham goes so well with the delicate white asparagus and the chive sauce has plenty of fresh lemon juice to add that almost sour kick to the dish. I like to plain boil my white asparagus with a pinch of salt…

Crispy Pork Wontons with a Chilli Dipping Sauce

January 30, 2017 By amodernrose Leave a Comment

My previous blog post was full of celebration for Chinese New Year and I kicked off the weekend with one of our favourite take away dishes – Chicken Chow Mein! I love combining sweet, sour and salty flavours and using ingredients such as ginger, chillies and fresh spices. It is one of the reasons why Chinese food is one of my favourite cuisines. There are so many delicious dishes of slow cooked meats in a sweet and sour sauce or steamed noodles in a hot and spicy broth and fresh fish grilled with a hot and citrus infused salad…

Yesterday was Blue Monday, known as the most depressing day of the year. It is typically on the third Monday of January when motivational levels have dropped since the new year, new me promise, the weather is miserable, it feels like a lifetime until the next payday and many are missing family and friends and the merry feeling we get from Christmas….

I first made this Apple, Sage and Pistachio Pork Stuffing when I was recipe testing for Christmas blog ideas. The life of a food blogger means that we are eating canapés and stuffing and sprouts for my Christmas themed blogs mid-end November, leftover turkey recipes early december (I don’t actually cook a whole turkey for leftover blogging recipes just yet, don’t worry!) and January detox recipes mid December when everyone else is just starting to enjoy those canapes! It was on a sunday night when I made this stuffing recipe and it made me realise that this definitely does not have to be the stuffing that you save for Christmas day. …

Pork and Cranberry Christmas Crackers

December 8, 2016 By amodernrose Leave a Comment

The Christmas parties have already started, my sparkly nail polish is out and another new little black dress is purchased. I love this time of year and especially the run up to Christmas. The year passes by so quickly that before you know it you have still not arranged that shopping date with a friend, or to try out an afternoon tea that you have heard good reviews of. It is why this time of year is so special because it is the perfect opportunity for us to make the effort to host a party or we get invited to events where we can catch up with our friends and family….

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! …

Pork and Apple Koftas with a Coleslaw

I am a big fan of Middle Eastern food and koftas are one of my favourite things to eat! I love the traditional lamb koftas, stuffed in some pita bread with a fresh mint salad. But lamb is quite difficult to find in Berlin and can be expensive. I make mine using minced pork which is affordable and easy to find in any local supermarket. I add some chopped apple which gives it a lovely sweet kick….
