Munich II

Of course we had to have a proper Munich breakfast: Weisswurst, Brezn, süsser Senf and a Weissbier at the Restaurant Zum Franziskaner...



...followed by Kaiserschmarrn with Apfelmus and coffee!


Road Trip: Munich

After a long drive along the beautiful Deutsch Alpenstrasse we arrived in Munich. One of the first places we visited was the famous Delicatessen Dallmayr. It left us quite speechless and very hungry! We felt like we were in 'Schlaraffenland'!

Road Trip!: Klosters

After months of waiting and planning and getting overly excited I finally set off on a road trip with friends yesterday. Our first destination was Klosters, where we went for a walk to Alp Garfiun despite the rain and fog.



After a fast paced walk we well deserved a platter of  'Bündnerfleisch, Rohschinken and Alpkäse' with some gherkins and a glass of red wine.




In the evening we grilled sausages in the fireplace. The sausages came from Macelleria Salumeria Fulvi on Schöneggstrasse 28, one of the best butchers in Zurich!





For dessert we had baked apples and a Zwetschgen Schnaps. Both came from Hof Blum in Samstagern where we had stopped earlier in the day to see 'The Garden of Forking Paths', an exhibition organised by Migros Museum. www.hofblum.ch We made a hole in the apples, stuffed it with butter and sugar, wrapped the apples in tin folio and left them in the fire for 15 minutes - delicious!!!

Speaking of trout...

I was recently invited to a dinner on the riverbank of the Rhein in Basel. A friend cooked the best trout I have EVER had on the grill with sweet potatoes and ginger butter, tomatoes roasted with rosemary and roasted garlic. Delicious!!!
