Hach, there it is, the summer. For a few days he is finally back and invites you to barbecue and ice cream. That's why the kitchen stayed relatively cold with me in the last few days. We were either with friends or grilled, as the weather is, ne Zorra? 😉 However, this has accumulated a bit of what remains of my fridge, which now had to be processed. And what about a bunch of vegetables closer than...

The best man called this afternoon full of energy and asked if we do not want to grill. The weather seemed perfect: nice and warm, hardly any clouds in the sky - you just have to use this opportunity. At the same time he offered to drive past the wholesale market and look for a nice piece of meat or a fresh fish. Beaming with joy, he announced that he had gotten two splendid specimens of Doraden, ...

Once again I have the problem that there are just too many recipes floating around in my head and I just do not know what to cook. I'm working at full speed on my cookbook project and gradually creating a recipe database for home use, but I just have too many books with too many recipes. When asked what food there is today, so I remembered nothing and the best man had to think and choose something...

Actually, I had actually already started the autumn with my plum cake, but now I jump back to the summer fruit. I am as changeable as this summer itself. This year I had my problems with peaches and nectarines. Either the stuff was so mushy and no longer edible or stick hard and was not soft. The only delicious peaches I've had this year, I've made as a sweet side dish to the ricotta pancakes. Whe...

Just in time for the slowly worsening weather, I am also slowly in soup mood. What did we have for a wonderful November in Cologne! There was exactly one rainy day and there it just rippled for a short time. Can you imagine that? In the whole of November I did not even have an umbrella with me! When I recited the "November" poem by Heinrich Seidel as a child, I could not even fervently recite this...

I could start now with my old and my new stove. But you certainly can not hear it anymore. Therefore only briefly: During the last pizza parade marathon my old stove simply burned the top heat, from now on I could only bake with convection and produce no great breads and pizzas. Now I have a great new stove and now I'm in the oven again around. So. Now for the topic: I love pizza! That's not reall...

Some time ago I already reported about my first attempts with chard and produced a delicious mangold quiche and a delicious chard lasagna. And since then I just can not get rid of this vegetable anymore. A shame that I have not discovered it for myself before! How such a simple leafy plant can be so delicious and versatile. Madness ... And for me chard is also still on spinach on the top list. Aft...

Huh? Did you really read the title correctly? Yes, you have! Sweet cupcakes were yesterday, hearty cupcakes are today! Of course I really like classic cupcakes, so that's where it all started. But after I came across the highly successful site http://www.skinnytaste.com/in search of healthy dishes (yes, I'm still here!) And stumbled upon this recipe, it was about me done: hearty, low-fat and someh...

I already reported yesterday from the summer and the rest kitchen. And that's when I simply start seamlessly. I still had a refrigerated shelf puff pastry in my fridge (again the very tasty light version), which was just before his zenith and the kilogram of leek was already a few days in the vegetable compartment. So what's better than magic a leek quiche out of it? For 2 portions I baked the qui...

Brrr, is it so cold with you? Winter still has us under control here, but at least it shows itself from its most beautiful side: cold, bright blue sky and sunshine - that's what I like! Just the right soups weather! Hack-cheese-leek soup, leek-cheese-hack soup or cheese-leek-soup with hack - who does not know the party classic? This typical party soup has been making the rounds for decades alongsi...

When I discovered the salad leafing through an American magazine, it had happened to me. Brussels sprouts as a salad? This will get me right away. One of my - I think - coolest recipes is the raw Brussels sprouts salad with apples, walnuts and pecorino. This will get you real Brussels spunk haters. A real blast recipe. Another winter salad recipe is of course the red cabbage salad with chorizo. Te...

As you may have noticed, my Easter countdown has abruptly stopped. That was not intended, but unfortunately it came like this: I had a holiday in said Easter week and was so happy to be able to cook and bake and blog and do. First of all, I have done everything that needs to be done so, if you are free for the first time after 7 months and then I was firmly convinced that the Easter weekend belong...

After last weekend's cake gluttony, what has to be lighter and fresher now, matching spring. However, I must emphasize once again how badly tasty this cake is! Some time ago I discovered a rather inconspicuous recipe in an English women's magazine. However, the combination sounded pretty good and that's why I had to make it up. It is a salad whose main ingredients are chickpeas and baby tubes. Thi...

For quick rest baking for the weekend, I have picked out another recipe with Martha Stewart, which is super easy to do and always goes down well: Brownies! However, the raspberry blondies have not been beaten so far. After having experience with monster brownies, they should be a little easier this time. But not boring either. That's when the idea with the caramelized pecans came in handy! Chocola...
