After the launch enthusiasm I finally found the time to write another post. Yesterday we did one of my favorites: Tapas night and everyone brings ingredients and we cook together…:-)
Here is how we do it: Everyone brings ingredients for 1-2 dishes or brings them prepared. You don’t coordinate who brings what but there is a rule that you can’t bring tapas standard dishes – otherwise you end up with 10 tortillas;-)
To inspire you here is a selection of what we had on the table:
Little appetisers: Never forget the olives on your market stroll…;-)
Kalamata olives
Green garlic olives
Courgette with goat cheese & ham (by Line)
Chop a Courgette and bake it in the oven, then add the cheese and ham. Easy & delicious!

1000 tomatoes salad (by me)
By different coloured small tomatoes (on the Isemarkt in Hamburg there is a specialized shop, that even sells black tomatoes). Take some green salad of you choice and add morzarella balls, feta cubes and dried tomatoes. For the dressing I suggest some olive oil, salt, pepper and aceto balsamico.
