Light Meals and Weekend Treats from an English Woman in Berlin
Tomorrow is Valentine’s day. Will you be going out to a nice restaurant or staying at home to cook 
One of my favourite meals to make mid – week as something special is Potato Dauphinoise served with a steak or salmon fillet on the side. With this recipe I bake the potatoes with the white fish that really brings out all the taste (and it keeps it all in one pan and serving dish saving you on the washing up!). …
Ok so food poisoning is a little drastic but it could have easily been the case! My boyfriend and I decided to check out a new restaurant for Valentine’s Day. I am not going to name the restaurant but it was a fondue style place and we had been meaning to try it out for a while now. Being really hungry and looking forward to this all day we decided to order the mixed meat and fish menu. Our plates turned up with the meat, potatoes and salad all laid out nicely on a plate with some wonderful sauces. We also had the fondue to cook the meat ourselves which is meant to be a delicious way to cook your meat. Sound’s great? That’s exactly what I thought until I started to tuck in and realised that it was raw chicken lying underneath my potatoes (which were already cooked) and my olive salad. Maybe I missed this in translation but whatever the case it is just weird! Raw chicken on your plate, sliding about underneath your potatoes, salad and garlic bread. Needless to say, it was a strange experience! …
