A prerequisite for experiencing a culinary firework display – as well as the rat Rémy does in the legendary animated film Ratatouille knew how to make his brother Emile experience it – is the sense of taste and smell.
Of the classical senses such as hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting and touching, smelling – olfactory perception – remains by far the most important and strongest of our senses. Continue reading Bouquet, taste, and textures
Hanging tender (French “Onglet”) – or kidney cone in German due to its position and shape – is “technically” considered to be offal, but as pure muscle meat it has basically nothing to do with it. Continue reading Hanging tender
The 100% Spanish Duroc pork of the brand ESPAÑA ORIGINAL is something great. In my opinion, the Duroc pork clearly is ahead by a “pigs’ nose” in terms of taste compared to the Ibérico. It is evenly marbled and – when handled correctly – therefore it always remains juicy, but has considerably less “disturbing” fat than the Ibérico pork. Continue reading ESPAÑA ORIGINAL
CHÂTEAU BOEUF quality beef from France is an brand that is exclusively available at REWE. You can recognise the meat by its fresh and appetizing appearance in the service counter or the self-service areas, but also by the brand logo if necessary. Continue reading CHÂTEAU BOEUF
I have to say up front that I’m not really a fan of meat thermometers – in particular, I consider excesses such as using the temperature measurement when roasting a single slice of rump steak to be real satire. Continue reading InkBird: Meat thermometer
As promised, you can read here how I proceeded with the grilled piece of pork loin from the Duroc. I took the chance to prepare one of my favourite Thai dishes – a salad with grilled pork. As a gimmick I use black instead of fresh garlic. Continue reading Yam Moo Yang from Duroc
In recent years, Polish heifers on German plates have become a real insider tip – often the ideal conditions for breeding and keeping them are unjustly misjudged regarding our direct neighbour. The exclusive supplier R&S therefore showed the right instinct when they started out with heifer meat from Gut Bressau. Continue reading Gut Bressau
The weekend was mighty sunny – reason enough to put up the grill again and “roast” a good piece of meat. Today it was time for the “Family Tomahawk” – here I got myself a great piece of meat from CHÂTEAU BOEUF. The meat of this brand is exclusively available at REWE and it is French premium quality from young bulls.
It is certainly hard to avoid that you notice how much I am a fan of the Spanish Duroc pig. Very, very early on – when I was still going to school every morning through my grandfather’s butcher’s shop, pig still tasted like pig. Continue reading Duroc – Chops
As I’m sure you’ve all heard by now, when it comes to pork, I’m a real Duroc lover. In terms of taste, I now prefer a well grilled Duroc tomahawk better than beef, but it should be 100% Duroc if possible. Continue reading Extremadura – Duroc Ribs
We arrived in the morning with the Interislander Ferry from Wellington on the South Island of New Zealand. Already the entrance to the South Island revealed the breathtaking nature that this part of New Zealand has to offer. An optical foretaste with green hills, almost like in the Shire. Continue reading The Mussel Pot
It wasn’t long ago that I had the SCOTLAND HILLS Cowboy Steak on the grill – today I wanted to know how delicious the entrecôte of this brand is. With foresight I had ordered a piece of entrecôte of almost 1.5 kg together with the rack of lamb, so it was just right. As always, I took the meat out of the cooler a good hour before use, removed the foil and patted it dry. Continue reading SCOTCH Entrecôte

After the second attempt to bake a proper, 100% rye sourdough bread, we unfortunately again did not succeed as desired. There was still no optimal result, so it was time to distract ourselves with a success story. Continue reading Country bread Italian style
The young bull meat of the brand Maxi France comes exclusively from France and impresses with its special tenderness. The beef breeds from which the young bull meat comes are the meat and dual-purpose beef breeds Charolais, Blonde d’Aquitaine, Normande, Limousin, Salers, Montbéliarde and their crossbreeds. The suppliers are handpicked on site and employees are often on the road in France to visit the farms and to check that everything is in order. Continue reading Maxi France
VIKINGYR lamb from Iceland is a very speciality. Lamb in itself is tender, but the lambs of this brand, which have all grown up on Iceland without exception, are not only literally “buttery tender”. Their meat also has a high proportion of fatty acids (omega-3), so it doesn’t necessarily have to be fish if you want to eat a healthy diet in terms of fat.
Continue reading VIKINGYR
As I already mentioned in the article about SCOTLAND HILLS, this brand does not only offer great heifer meat but also excellent lamb. As the barbecue season has long since begun, it was time to prepare a classic – grilled lamb chops Greek style. Continue reading SCOTCH Rack of Lamb
In Germany and Austria, the piece of beef that is supposed to be the subject of today has a long tradition – the Tafelspitz. This is the tendon-free, tapering tip of the tail – basically the hip cap of a cow. Continue reading Picanha
There are now all kinds of delicious pork – pork has been experiencing something of a renaissance in recent years. Since the Ibérico, the wool pig and other old breeds of pigs have been able to show how pork can actually taste, pork has been on the plates more and more often, especially during the barbecue season. Continue reading Duroc – Pork loin
Even when it comes to the traditional steak, the eye & palate need a change now and then. In the last few years, new trends for more or less unusual cuts have been popping up on the horizon. This is also the case with the Flank Steak, which has been “on everyone’s lips” for a while now. Today I had the first Flank Steak of the brand Château Boeuf – a “Bavette aloyaux “– a really huge piece of meat. Continue reading Bavette (Flank Steak)
Here is the absolute classic when it comes to conjuring up fresh bread on the table in no time at all. An honest white bread – without any frills – which simply tastes best fresh. Continue reading White wheat bread
The meat of the German marketing company BIOPark Markt GmbH from Malchin in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which was founded in 1994, has no equal. The meat offered for tasting at BIOFACH 2020 was of the finest quality. The first impression alone when looking into the – let’s call them “showcases” – was promising. The “gems” were already visually appealing and for anyone who has dealt with meat to a limited extent, the BIOPark Markt GmbH booth exerted a special attraction. Continue reading BIOPark Markt
Somehow it was time again, for another bread variation – a kilo of the good organic spelt flour was still quite innocent in the pantry and the Mortadella cried out for a good fresh white bread. Continue reading Organic spelt tin loaf
