This hot summer weather calls for light and cold dishes. Just like this refreshing honeydew melon and fennel salad with pistachios. It so delicious and will keep you cool in this heat. The pairing of fennel and melon is really amazing. There’s the cold sweetness of the honeydew melon paired with the aroma of fennel. Pistacchios add some crunch and a bit of aleppo pepper adds some a bit of spice. This recipe is really simple and a perfect summer lunch or serve it as a side to your summer bbq. It will definitely wow your dinner guests! Make sure to buy a firm and ripe honeydew melon and a smaller size fennel bulb. I prefer using ready roasted and salted pistachios for some extra salty flavour. As you know from some of my other recipes, I love using Aleppo pepper. Basically Aleppo pepper is dried chili without the pips. I usually buy it on my favourite market here in Hamburg but you can buy it online, here for example!

The recipe is not only perfect for all fructosefree foodies, also if you are on a healthy diet. It’s full of vitamins and minerals and will give you a little health boost in this summer heat.

I would love to see your take on this recipe! Just comment at the bottom of the page or tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag.

If you’re not sure about zucchini this might be the recipe to change your mind. With a little love and a simple trick you might start liking zucchini. The recipe for this roasted zucchini on a creamy bed of ricotta with hazelnuts and mint is pretty simple. It’s a fantastic summer dish! You can prepare the zucchini on your bbq or simply grill it in a pan. Make sure you use small and firm zucchini, if you you are lucky you can use them straight from your garden.

It doesn’t matter if you call them zucchini, courgette or even summer squash, the pairing with ricotta is amazing. Zucchini come in so many shapes, small and big, round or yellow or dark green. The trick is to rub the halved zucchinis with salt and let it draw liquid for about 20 minutes. By the way, this works for cucumber and eggplant too! This way they will lose their bitterness and become simply delicious.

Have you tried this recipe at home? I would love to see your pics or hear about your favourite zucchini recipes. Just tag me on instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag. Love to see your pics!

Roasted zucchini with ricotta

Roasted zucchini on a creamy bed of ricotta with roasted hazelnuts and mint

  • 3-4 small zucchini
  • 1 handful roasted and chopped hazelnuts
  • 1 bunch fresh mint
  • 250 gram ricotta
  • 2 tbsp salt for the zucchini rub
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp rice syrup
  • 1 lemon
  • aleppo pepper (chili flakes)
  • sea salt (Maldon) to serve
  • Bread to serve
  1. Cut the zucchini in halves and rub them with salt. Set them aside and let them water. 

  2. In the meantime mix ricotta with lemon zest and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season to taste with lemon and salt. 

  3. For the dressing mix 2 tbsp olive oil, white wine vinegar, rice syrup and season to taste with aleppo pepper.

  4. When the zucchini are ready, pad them dry with a kitchen paper. Heat up 3 tbsp of olive oil in a pan and arrange zucchini cut side down in the pan. Keep an eye on them and move them around so they are even browning. After about 5 minutes reduce the heat and put a lid on top of them. Let the zucchini cook for about 15 minutes and afterwards let them cool down on a chopping board. 

  5. Wash, pad dry and roughly chop your mint. 

  6. When your zucchini have cooled down spread the ricotta over a serving plate. Arrange marinated zucchini on top, drizzle with remaining zucchini juices and dressing, sprinkle with mint and hazelnuts. Serve with bread! Yummy!

My favourite kind of shopping is food shopping. I love spending time in gourmet food shops, foreign supermarkets or Asia shops. There’s a really nice gourmet food shop here in Hamburg where they have amazing delicacies like vintage sardines. I have a small collection of vintage sardines and I enjoy eating them on it’s own, in a sandwich or with salad. Here’s a recipe of vintage sardines on salad with cucumber, potatoes, fennel and crispy bacon. You don’t need to buy vintage sardines just make sure you use really good quality sardines. The best ones are from France or Portugal. Especially buy sardines marinated in olive oil or with olive oil and lemon. You can find vintage sardines also online here. Also most of the vintage sardines have a beautifully designed tin and usually are limited edition. Apparently, they should increase in value after a few years, but to be honest my little collection won’t last for so many years.  The pairing of salad, sardines, fennel and crispy bacon is really fantastic. Therefore I serve it with a vinaigrette full of herbs and a little bit of dijon mustard. In addition enjoy some chilled rosé wine with this delicious Mediterranean style salad.

I love Asian food especially the Vietnamese cuisine. Just a few weeks ago I’ve been on holiday in Vietnam (find a little trip summary here). For me, Vietnam definitely has the most interesting cuisine in Asia. Therefore, I ate myself through this amazing country. The way they use fresh herbs and veggies is simply fantastic. One of my favourite dishes in Vietnam must be the Vietnamese green papaya salad. You can imagine how excited I was when I saw a fresh green papaya in the fridge of my Asia shop around the corner. This recipe is my kind of green papaya salad. I’m sure it’s not original Vietnamese but I think it’s pretty close! So next time you are in your Asia shop keep an eye out for green papaya. It’s really delicious and has absolutely nothing to do with the orange coloured ripe papaya. The raw green papaya pulp is firm and almost tasteless. You have to slice it thinly and marinate it with salt so it will get a crispy, mild cucumber flavour.  My recipe of this Vietnamese style green papaya salad is absolutely simple and easy. It’s perfect for all on fructosefree or glutenfree diet. If you prefer vegan then just leave out the prawns and add some fried tofu. The recipe is fantastic for a light dinner or a starter! One of my secret ingredients in this salad is the fish sauce I brought back from our Vietnam holiday. Only to find out later that you can buy it online!

I love autumn with all it’s beautiful colours and rich and flavourful fruits and veggies. I think it’s my favourite season. So this recipe, is like a warm autumn day in September. It’s the ultimate autumn salad with roasted butternut squash, radicchio and burrata. It’s so simple but yet so complex in taste. It’s a quick and easy weeknight dinner recipe or a light but elegant starter. I love the combination of the sweet and tasty butternut squash, the beautiful bitter radicchio, creamy burrata and crunchy almonds. Really delicious! Topped with a wonderful light lime and olive oil dressing. Each individual ingredient is so simple but put together they make the ultimate autumn salad! I can highly recommend to use burrata and not opt for mozzarella. Burrata tastes way better and has a wonderful creamy texture. Once you tasted burrata you won’t use mozzarella for salads anymore.

Of course this recipe is perfect for all fructose malabsorption sufferers. All pumpkin types are fructosefree and perfect for a fructosefree diet.

Put the tray into the oven and roast for 25 – 30 minutes, or until edges start to brown.

Yes, it’s that time of year again! Time to jump into your Dirndl or your Lederhosen, and off you go to the famous Theresienwiese in Munich. Have a Mass of beer or two and some grilled chicken or even better a leg of roasted pork. Oktoberfest in Munich is a fantastic experience. While I was living in Munich I went to the Wiesn almost every day while it was on. Sometimes just to grab some food of the many delish food stalls. So as I’m not living in Munich anymore I’m getting into Oktoberfest mood with this amazing fried Weisswurst salad. Weisswurst is a typical Bavarian white sausage. Usually you eat it cooked, with sweet mustard and Brezen. I added a bit of a twist to the traditional Bavarian dish. I cut it in slices and coated it with bread crumbs, just like a Schnitzel.

I served it on top of some lamb’s lettuce with Styrian pumpkin seed oil and mustard dressing. To make the recipe fructosefriendly I used Dijon mustard for the dressing. Swap the Dijon to some proper Bavarian sweet mustard to get the whole Oktoberfest package. The recipe is really simple but a real eye opener! Serve it with fresh lye Brezen and of course, some beer! Delicious!

Bavarian fried Weisswurst Salad

  • 4 fresh Weisswurst
  • 100 gram flour
  • 2 free range eggs
  • 2 tbps milk
  • 1 dash Worcester Sauce
  • 1 tsp sambal oelek
  • 120 gram bread crumbs
  • 2 handful lamb's lettuce
  • 3-4 radishes
  • 0,5 cucumber
  • 3-4 small tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp Styrian pumpkin seed oil
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp rice syrup
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • salt
  • pepper
  • olive oil and ghee for frying
  1. Wash the lamb’s lettuce and pad dry. Wash and peel the cucumber and cut in thin slices. Wash and trim the radishes and cut in thin slices. Wash and chop the parsley

  2. Take the skin of the fresh Weisswurst and cut diagonal into 2 cm slices. Prepare a bowl with flour, a second bowl with 2 eggs mixed with milk, Worcester sauce and Sambal Oelek. And a third bowl with the breadcrumbs. First turn your slices of Weisswurst in flour, then move them over to the egg mixture and at the end turn them in bread crumbs. 

  3. Heat up some oil and ghee in a big pan and fry your Weisswurst slices until golden brown from both sides. When ready take them out of the pan and let them rest for 1 minute on some kitchen paper.

  4. For the dressing: Mix the Styrian pumpkin seed oil, mustard, white wine vinegar and rice syrup. Add salt, pepper and chopped parsley and stir.

  5. Arrange the lamb’s lettuce, cucumber slices, radishes and tomatoes on plates. Top with your Weisswurst slices and drizzle with your dressing. Serve with some proper Bavarian lye Brezen.

We are in the middle of chanterelle season and I’m just getting started with my amazing Pfifferling recipes. We all know how to cook traditional chanterelle recipes like chanterelle goulash, risotto or pasta with chanterelles. So I would like to give you an inspiration how you are going to use your precious finds from the forrest. One of my favourite summer dishes is Panzanella, a traditional bread salad with tomatoes from Tuscany. It’s the base for my mediterranean chanterelle and Brezen Panzanella with heriloom tomatoes. Instead of ciabatta I used Brezen made from lye dough.  I love the combination of chanterelles, tomatoes and good quality olive oil. I’ve use 4 different kinds of heirloom tomatoes, all from my balcony garden! If you don’t have tomatoes from your own garden, try to buy ripe and tasty tomatoes. Same with olive oil, buy some good quality olive oil which you use for salads and stuff. It makes a huge difference!

I would love to see your pics, so share your take on this Pfifferling Brezen Panzanella or any other of my recipes! Tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag.
