In one of my last posts I worked with a Hokkaido pumpkin which I baked in the oven with some olive oil and a spice mix on top. Some of the Hokkaido slices I reserved for the next weekend – for a quiche convenient for autumn. So what do we need for this special quiche?
We are back in Germany – a cold Germany compared to our weeks in Southern France. After having settled down again in our home I thought about what to cook and to bake – and I decided to do an apple cake. Also because there are beautiful fresh and juicy apples around now – crispy and sour which is fine for an apple cake. (Of course three of these Boskoop beauties were too much for…

I stumbled across the idea for this recipe in Mimi Thorissons’s cookbook A Kitchen in France. It sounded nice & delicious & I thought it would be fine w/ my espressos (you know that I’m addicted to espresso!).

After having managed to define the proper amounts of the usual suspects (like butter, flour, sugar, eggs …) in order to achieve a…
I remember my very 1st true carrot cake: it was during a USA holiday trip many years ago somewhere in Northern California in a small diner – rather late in the evening – when it turned out that only carrot cake was left for dessert. It wasn’t a simple cake it was a 3-layer structure w/ lots of frosting & minced walnuts … it was just delicious! To set the record straight from the beginning:This…
