Godo's Nadsballseggs....IE: Eggs Benedict by Michael Swiney

I have this friend who lives in Germany. Somehow, she made boiled meatballs sound appetizing. Really....they're boiled. I'll try them sometime this week. However when I mentioned that I was going to make Eggs Benedict, her reply was "I don't know what that is. In Germany, we say eggs like you say balls" As I sit here in stunned…

White Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce

White Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce by Frank Fariello

This dish brings me back to my Vienna days: white asparagus and potatoes with hollandaise sauce. The appearance of asparagus in the markets of Vienna--as elsewhere--is a harbinger of Spring.

Pere al vino rosso (Pears in Red Wine Sauce) by Frank Fariello

Dessert is our house is normally a piece of fruit, perhaps with some cheese, and, in winter, some mixed nuts in their shells. This is why you will not find very many desserts featured on this blog.
