Turkey with a sure-fire Recipe, Turkey Roast Recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas

Thomas Sixt

In this article I present you my Turkey recipe with and without filling.

The wonderful roast poultry from the oven comes to Thanksgiving, thanksgiving and Christmas on the festive table. Especially in the USA this dish is the MVP (most valuable player) on the Thanksgiving table of every American family.

Also in Germany, the turkey is more of a family meal or a circle of friends meal, if only because of the size of the food. Everything should be well thought out: Is sister vegan in the meantime? Can all ingredients tolerate? Are the special wishes of the part-time gourmet brother-in-law also fulfilled?

I like the poultry meat most juicy and not dry. The side dishes should be successful quickly, after all we want to spend a lot of time with our dearest people on festive days.

Now read quickly and get the best tips and after shopping we go to the kitchen… Have fun and good luck!

Toast Hawaii, the ultimate Recipe for the 50’s Classic by the Chef

Thomas Sixt

Here comes my recipe Hawaiitoast. The still popular combination “sweet plus hearty with cheese baked on bread” comes from the German economic miracle years.

In 1955, actor and TV chef Clemens Wilmenrod, who had no cooking training at all, introduced the fast snack to German TV viewers. There were only 3 channels 😉

Why Hawaii? Until the 50s Hawaii was the main producer of canned pineapples (Dole Food Company) and was then replaced by the Philippines and later Thailand.

Accordingly, Mr. Wilmenrod should have called his toast creation “Toast Philippines”.

Undisputedly, Hawaii sounds more melodic and you immediately have pictures of beautiful Hawaiian girls dancing hula in mind.

That’s a nice picture when preparing and enjoying the toast…

We both capture the thought and I send you hip-swinging into the kitchen.

Aloha, I wish you good luck and a good appetite!

False hare or meat loaf recipe picture with sauce and mashed potatoes

Meatloaf Recipe, wrong Hare with Egg Filling German Style

Thomas Sixt

Today I’ll show you my recipe for Meatloaf. Do you know “false hare”? The “wrong rabbit” is no rabbit at all. It is the name for a meat loaf with or without egg inside.

The following recipe comes from the kitchen of my dear mum and is a component of the traditional German kitchen.

It is suspected that the name “Falscher Hase” was given by the form of roasting in Germany. Likewise it is to be also because of the fact that the wrong hare was prepared in the same roaster, like the genuine hare bridge from the oven.

In Austria, however, this meat loaf with egg has a different name: Stefanie roast. The following instructions contain many step-by-step photos for the preparation of meat loafs.

I also show you a great variation of the meat loaf sauce and wish you good luck and a good appetite!

Dear reader, I will simply allow myself a joke today. Actually, I’m a little desperate. I have prepared a wonderful recipe for Backhendl, it tastes excellent and my guests love this dish.

Mankind is looking for the real breaded chicken just 50-500 times a month in the German-speaking world.

Compared to chicken nuggets, here we have 12,000 searches per month…that’s the culinary downfall.

My call: Please cook the recipe at the bottom of the page, a fried chicken simply tastes much better than pressed poor chicken, share this recipe with your friends, thank you!Read More »Backhendl (Fried Chicken), Original Chicken Nuggets 🙂 made by yourself
