Südtiroler Küche | Hexenschlucker

by VickyRecipe, South Tyrol

Hexenschlucker. ‘You’re from South Tyrol? – I love it’ Most of the Germans reply. Those of you who know it know how beautiful it is. Great landscape during every season, amazing food and wine. What else do you need?

A lot of people have been asking me for typical Southtyrolean dishes and most of the times I can tell a few. Lately I’ve found this delicious recipe called ‘Hexenschlucker’ which look like big ravioli. On Instagram people have asking me for the recipe. There you go. The original recipe is with porcini mushrooms but I replaced them with champignons.

Knead all the dough ingredients to a medium-stiff dough, which you leave resting for one hour. In the meantime, chop the mushrooms and fry with butter, onion and garlic. Sprinkle with flour and leave it cook for a bit. In the end, sprinkle the mushrooms with parsley. Put the dough on a floured surface and pull the pasta into a thin sheet. Cut round circles and put the mushroom mass in the centre. Close it with another small pile and press the edges together. Cook them for five minutes easily in salt water. Meanwhile cook the butter with garlic gloves and remove them when they become brown. As soon as the Hexenschlucker are cooked fry them for a bit in the butter until they become crusty.

I wish you a wonderful day!

I have a new toy! Ok that was mean because the little wonder has more technical secrets to hide than thought. Since I have shown you my new Olympus Pen E-PL7, a lot of questions came up. Here comes my first feedback.
To begin with, a few information that are provided by Olympus:

  • exquisitely designed, compact, lightweight and retro-styled camera with an all-metal finish
  • specially designed for capturing superior selfies
  • remote-controlled preview & selfies via smartphone with options including sequential and self-timer interval shooting
  • large, flip-down and tiltable high-res LCD touchscreen for framing and capturing selfies
  • automatic ‘selfie mode’ settings, including wide-angle lens position and portrait mode
  • 14 art filters for adding wide range of creative effects
  • built in WiFi for posting via a compatible smartphone and the free Olympus Image Share app

A detailed test report about picture quality, how to take pictures with, finishing will be up in a few months. I am sure that I will have tested the camera properly until then, because right now I am still trying to find out about a few settings. Here are a few things that have already persuaded me.

The design. I am absolutely happy with the beautiful retro design and I think that the light tones were a good choice. Moreover, it is super light compared to my much heavier Canon 6d and a few times I have the impression of having forgotten itsomewhere. I only need to change the classic strap (as always, I can’t make up my mind– this one or a simple hand strap? I could also make DIY). The lens caps are so tiny that I risk forgetting them somewhere. That’s why I immediately bought a lens cap holder with a suction cup. Let’s see how long it lasts.

The lenses. I love blur. Therefore, I can’t imagine a life without lenses with fixed focal lengths. On Siana’s Instagram-Account I found some beautiful pictures taken with the Olympus Pen;she takes 90% of her photos with it. For outfit picture she recommended buying the ZUIKO DIGITAL 45mm 1:1.8f lens and eventually a wide angle. Said and done. Up to know I am really happy with the 45mm lens, have a look,all the pictures shown above have been taken with it.


Selfies/timer/mobile synch. To be honest – I am such a selfie looser! It takes ages until I get the picture I want. The flip-down screen makes it a lot easier. Also, I love the easy synchronisation with my mobile phone. This modus wasn’t new for me since I’ve been using it also on my Canon 6d. I used my Olympus PEN E-PL7 most of the times for my Instagram-pictures. The quality is so much better. You can also use the timer and control it from your phone. Compared to my Canon the focus is so much faster than on the DSLR.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

… let’s start the test period!

Ich habe ein neues Spielzeug! Ok, das war gemein, die Olympus Pen E-PL7 so zu bezeichnen. Das kleine Wunderding hat eindeutig mehr zu bieten, als man denkt! Auf Instagram habt ihr mich gefragt, wie ich die Kamera finde, und ich dachte mir, ich geb euch schon Mal ein erstes Feedback.
Vorab ein paar Informationen von Seiten Olympus:

  • Kompakte und leichte Kamera im exklusiven Retro-Metallgehäuse
  • Ferngesteuerte Vorschau & Selfies via Smartphone, einschließlich Sequenz- und Selbstauslöser-Intervall-Aufnahme
  • Großes, klapp- und neigbares Touch-LCD (Ideal für Selfies)
  • Automatischer „Selfie-Modus“, einschließlich Weitwinkel-Objektivposition und Porträt-Modus
  • 14 Art Filter für zahlreiche kreative Effekte
  • Integrierte WiFi-Funktion für einfaches Teilen via Smartphone und kostenfreier Oi.Share App

Eine ausführlichere Rezension über Bildqualität, Fotografieren mit der Olympus PEN E-PL 7, Nachbearbeitung und vieles mehr, bekommt ihr in ein paar Monaten. Die Kamera ist dann ausgiebig getestet und ich such hoffentlich nicht mehr in den Einstellungen rum, wie jetzt noch. Hier schon Mal ein paar Punkte, die mich jetzt schon überzeugt haben.

Design. Über die Farbwahl bin ich wirklich glücklich.Zudem ist die Kamera in der Tat super leicht, kein Vergleich zu meiner schweren Canon 6d. Vom Design her finde ich sie super schön und mir gefällt den Retro-Look sehr. Den klassischen Kameragurt werde ich aber noch austauschen (wie immer kann ich mich nicht für ein Design entscheiden – dieses hier oder eine einfache Lederhandschlaufe? Das schreit nach einem DIY!). Allerdings sind die Objektivdeckel so ultraklein. Da ich meine Objektiv-Deckel nie finde, habe ich mir sofort einen Objektivdeckelhalter mit Saugnapf bestellt. Wir werden sehen, wie gut er hält!

Objektive. Ich liebe Unschärfe! Ein Leben ohne Festbrennweiten kann ich mir gar nicht mehr vorstellen! Auf Siana’s Instagram-Account habe ich unglaublich schöne Fotos entdeckt; sie schießt 90% ihrer Fotos mit einer Olympus PEN. Für Outfitbilder hat sie mir sofort das M. ZUIKO DIGITAL 45mm 1:1.8f Objektiv empfohlen und eventuell noch ein Weitwinkel. Preis-Leistung finde ich bei diesem Objektiv schon Mal super! Demnächst werden damit fleißig Looks geshootet, dann kann ich euch mehr erzählen.

Selfie-Modus/Timer/Synchronisation. Ich persönlich bin ja soooo eine Selfie-Niete! Nach 100 Versuchen kommt vielleicht irgendwann Mal ein Bild, das ich annähernd ok finde. Der nach unten klappbare Bildschirm macht es aber um einiges einfacher. Toll ist auch die Synchronisation mit dem Handy, die für mich aber nicht neu war. Trotzdem habe ich in den letzten Wochen ausschließlich die Olympus PEN E-PL 7 für meine Instagram-Bilder verwendet. Ein klarer Pluspunkt ist im Live-Modus die Fokussierung! Das kleine Ding ist hier wirklich super schnell – solange man entsprechend weit genug vom Objektiv entfernt steht. ;)

Ich hoffe, ich konnte euch schon mal vorab einen kurzen Testbericht geben und bin gerne für Fragen offen …

Auf geht’s in die Testphase!

KorianderToo. With a little bit of delay here comes the first FoodFriday of the year. My boyfriend’s birthday last week was the perfect opportunity to test a new restaurant. It’s been a while that Koriander Too was appearing on social media and Yelp again and again – I had to try it!

It is quite hard to get a table on Saturdays in Munich without reservation so I’d already booked a table on Wednesday. We were getting a place at the bar for sure, a table as soon as a reservation changes. Luckily we got a table, which is much more pleasant to talk. The interior is clean with wooden furnishing and cool lamps out of cord hanging from the ceiling. On the menu you find Vietnamese dishes – first courses are around 6-12€ and main courses ranging from 12-20€.

I went for Vietnamese ribbon noodles with chicken and my boyfriend took the fish. My dish was good, but a little bit to greasy and nothing special in taste. On the other hand, the fish was really good and the side dishes went really well together. All in all, it was a little bit overpriced.

Koriander Too has a second location, with lower prices, which we’ll be testing soon. We had a little bit the impression that we paid more for the location and ambience.

Enjoy!

Pareee. Paris is one of these places where you’ll never get tired. Likewise to New York where they say – ‘If you’re tired of New York, you’re tired of life’. There are still a lot of places I haven’t been to, i.e. the Grand Palais, the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, a visit to the new Fondation Louis Vuitton, Villa Savoie and a lot more.

The Musée des Arts et Métiers hasn’t been on my list so far but I’d driven by so many times on my way to uni when I lived in Paris. It was definitely worth the visit. My boyfriend remarked that it is is one of those places that explains every technology and how the world works in case humanity suddenly disappear. Another good thing is that it is free for European residents under 26.

Wish you a wonderful day!
