Cooking sessions

I cannot say exactly when it started but it must have been in my 2nd or 3rd week here. Somehow Vici, my housemate was supposed to cook a german meal. And here comes the problem: Vici cannot cook at all....So Gonca, her turkish friend helped her out and cooked garic bread as an entree and as the main dish turkish Moussaka and Ayram with cucumber for us. It was soooo delicious but there was also so much garlic in every dish that we were so thirsty after and our whole kitchen kept the smell until the next morning...



Somehow, Vici managed never to cook her german dish but instead we got so delicious food to taste every Thursday. Most of the time we cooked at our house because we have a really spacious kitchen and the perfect dining room. So the next cooking night was dedicated to France:
Julien, my housemate prepared fois gras for us as an entree and we had Ratatouille with Tuna filet, then french cheese and finally a strawberry tarte as dessert. I felt much more filled than after Raclette!!!!



In the following week we got french crepes with all kind of fillings. We had a big crepes party.
But then the germans had the chance to present one of the famous dishes. Our 'Frankengirl' Christina took the initiative and planned the dumpling night. The problem was, that we wanted to fill the dumplings with meat balls.



I never ate potatoe dumplings like this before but it tasted very well althouh the preparation was a challenge! For me it turned out that I am much better in preparing the meat balls than actually filling the dumplings with the meat balls...But finally we succeded:



Lalo, my new mexican housemate also prepared typical food. We had awesome Quesadillas filled woth Guacamole, cooked mexican Chorizo and Julien prepared a tarte des pommes.



These evenings were so much fun when we prepared the food together and people from all over the world sit together at one table. It is great!
