This version of potato wedges uses schmalz made from left over chicken skin. It is an amazing and delicious example on how to prepare a great meal out of something that often does not get used and thrown away instead.

This is the classic variant of goulash. It is very easy to prepare, though it does take some time as it has to cook for several hours. Its delicious and I do cook it far too rare.

This recipe was the result of a graving for couscous in combination with leftover ingredients we had to use soon. I was honestly surprised how well the combination of the chosen ingredients worked for this dish. While I would not say any of the three parts are outstanding on its own, the combination was a very delicious fresh summer meal.

Fresh falafel made from dry chickpeas. This recipe does take some preparation time (especially without mill). You can however prepare more and freeze them, as they can be very delicious when prepared and unfrozen in the right way.
