Cod Baked in Foil – Bittman

This is from Bittman’s book, The Best Recipes in the World”, in which he says that in Rome, it would typically be made with bass or turbot. However, he also said it can be made with any fillet you like and chose to write up the recipe with cod. There are also variations in the notes for using some vegetables with it too, along with making it in a covered baking dish.

Pork for Peasants

This dish is reminiscent of my Grandma’s awesome Austrian cooking. I got the idea for this dish from a Mr. Food pressure-cooker recipe. I changed some ingredients and adapted it for crockpot. I prefer a slightly fattier cut of pork because it comes out so tender and flavorful. I’ve served this for dinner parties, and people always ask for a second helping. I serve this with egg noodles and applesauce. True comfort food!

Ham Horns

This is perfect to have in the freezer as they defrost quickly and go both, for a snack or a light dinner with salad. You can even use them for breakfast or brunch and they are great for picnics or trips to the country side. They are a classic! And it is yeast free!

Wiener Schnitzel

This is such a tasty, but easy, way to prepare veal. A long-standing favourite, and lovely in summer with braised red cabbage, potato salad, and a tossed green salad. Preparation time does not include marinading or setting breadcrumbs in fridge.

Viennese Biscuits

soft melt in the mouth biscuits, I suppose originally from Vienna. So simple and economical, can be made in half an hour
