„"Living the Good Life TV" – Cooking in Corona Times with Ralf Frenzel
As you know, I regularly introduce you to great books from various publishers. One publisher that is undoubtedly among my favorites is Tre Torri Verlag from Wiesbaden. Now it was time again, and the book "Living the Good Life. Home Cooking - 365 Recipes for Every Day"„ It landed in my mailbox. A great thing, and an even better book. What I find particularly fantastic is that I simultaneously learned about the publisher's YouTube channel, where Ralf Frenzel – chef, sommelier, and publisher – is currently and will continue to be presenting dishes from the Tre Torri books in 40 episodes of "Das Gute leben TV" (The Good Life TV). Sometimes he cooks alone, sometimes with other renowned chefs and culinary experts who have already published a book with Tre Torri.

From now on, you can also find inspiration for your own kitchen on the YouTube channel "Das Gute leben TV" (Living the Good Life TV). Ralf Frenzel offers guidance on "creativity in the pot and pan" and personally demonstrates on "Das Gute leben TV" the delicious dishes you can prepare at home. The program is free for everyone and is regularly published on YouTube. In 40 videos, Frenzel presents the highlights of home cooking, always based on the book "Das Gute leben. Hausmannskost – 365 Rezepte für jeden Tag" (Living the Good Life: Home Cooking – 365 Recipes for Every Day).

The cooking show was launched in response to the coronavirus crisis, because now more than ever we all have to stay home and provide for ourselves there. This is naturally best and most enjoyable with high-quality, seasonal ingredients, yet adapted to the realities of the average German kitchen. Ralf Frenzel puts it this way: "Alongside all the challenges the crisis presents us with, I also see a unique opportunity for all of us to slow down, take care of our families, and finally take the time to cook again." Before the crisis, I almost exclusively ate out at restaurants. Now, good cooking is becoming increasingly important to me. That's why I'm very interested in the YouTube channel, the recipes presented and cooked in the videos, and of course, the book as a companion to the channel.
I took a look right away. Besides practical tips for each recipe, there's also advice on shopping, hygiene, nutritional principles, and weekly meal planning. Ralf Frenzel also shares interesting facts about cultural history while cooking. Incidentally, all the channel's videos are cooked in the Tre Torri test kitchen – the kitchen where all the recipes are tried out before they end up in the books. The first video features "Spaghetti alla Bolognese" in both a vegetarian version and the classic version with ground beef (page 184 in "Home Cooking – 365 Recipes for Every Day"). You can watch the video directly. here view.
So, what are you cooking first? 🙂
The book: "Living the good life. Home cooking – 365 recipes for every day"„
I'm sure you've all developed a real desire for this book after browsing the channel. I can understand that. As I mentioned, I already have it in my kitchen and I'm a huge fan. It's another book from Tre Torri Verlag that won't gather dust on the shelf, but rather one I'll be using regularly. Divided into sections like "Breakfast," "Salads," "Small Dishes & Snacks," "Soups and Stews," "Side Dishes, Dough & Pasta Dishes," "Fish & Seafood," "Meat," "Savory Pastries & Breads," "Cakes & Sweet Pastries," "Sweets & Desserts," and "Preserves," it offers 384 pages of recipes for everyone. The recipes are concise and easy to understand, and—just as you'd expect from home cooking—they're simple to prepare and enjoy without any unnecessary fuss. You can get a sneak peek at the book with an extensive sample on the publisher's website.
I've already bookmarked lots of recipes that I'm eager to try soon, and I'm really looking forward to meatloaf with cauliflower, beef stew, basil spaghetti, Labskaus (a traditional North German dish), Maultaschen (Swabian ravioli) with caramelized onions, and much, much more. Take a look at the channel and the sample reading – both are linked below.
+++ Thank you very much for sending the book to Tre Torri Verlag. Thank you! +++
