• Chicken curry

  I was amazed yesterday to see what some climbers have in their rucksack...you think it's usually full of equipment, rope, carabines, etc... A normal backpack with those weigh at least 12 kgs, depending of how you minimise. Well, when a fellow freind of ours turned up at the African Wall, and unpacked his bag, it was full of things to eat! Let me list out what I saw: 3 litres of water, 1 500g…

• Beef Bourguignon with marons

• Reiberdatschi, raiberdachi, rub a ducky?

The americans would call this hash browns... I…

• Salsiccia in white wine and onions

  It's very easy to get the local made saussages in the supermarket, especially in italy or france. They have them specially made for grilling or just to be fried on the pan. I love combineing them with differant spices and then sauté white onions with a dash of wine to go with it. A possible recipe to make instead of BBQing and you could get unexpected guests as well. Ingredients: 1 White…
