Chef Philipp cooked a real, authentic German meal for us on Wednesday night. He put on his chef hat and apron (not really) and got dirty in the kitchen for hours just to say thank you to those of us who have been helping him with his school work. Good food, good friends, great night.
This was my first experience with authentic, homemade German food. It was delicious! The bountiful meal consisted of schnitzel (of course), mashed potatoes, green beans, broccoli, chips (french fries), and chicken chilli. We had assorted wines for drink and a scrumptious strawberry-cheese dessert made with sweetened strawberries and Quark cheese. The closest thing I can put it to is a tangy mascarpone cheese with strawberries mixed in. It was mildly sweet and light, a perfect end to a delicious meal. Fantastic! I am now very much looking forward to our trip to Germany in April.
If I'm going to continue to be rewarded for my help with food, I'll help you all day, every day Philipp!
This post is dedicated to the wonderful Chef Philipp, who filled my tummy up with yummies and continues to fill my world up with fun times and laughter.
