pumpkin #2: bread

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   You remember? I started w/ a big Hokkaido pumpkin which I baked in the oven – just adding some olive oil & salt & pepper. Afterwards I had a bowl filled w/ smooth pumpkin bits which could be mashed easily by help of a fork. My plan was … creating a sweet yeast braid w/ pumpkin mash mixed into the dough. Of course it didn’t work out as…

my 1st galette (w/ rhubarb)!

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   I’m always looking for easy & fast dishes … also dishes which can be prepared w/o using too many pots & pans & other kitchen equipment which need to be cleaned excessively later. So I admired the easy way of galettes for rather a long time – & now I decided to give it a try. For my 1st approach I chose a very simple galette w/ few…

handmade german spritzgebäck (out of a moment)

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   German Spritzgebäck is part of Xmas – has always been. At least for me.   For the record: I know a trusted pastry shop making 1st class Spritzgebäck w/ & w/o chocolate. Full stop.   When roaming food blogs last week – which are full of Xmas baking ideas at the moment (it’s like an avalanche overwhelming you) – I suddenly stumbled over a recipe for straightforward Spritzgebäck ……

makeshift wannabe tiramisu

  We are on the Italian road again… you know: Omnes viae Romam ducunt! (So now you know that I learnt some Latin at school… in the spirit of my food blog it’s simply: go to Rome resp. Italy & you’ll learn about the best desserts ever!) Tiramisu: Imagine a (big!) rectangular casserole filled w/ ladyfingers soaked w/ espresso & fine liquor, covered w/ mascarpone cream finished by a thick layer of cocoa. You may indulge…

super-moist rhubarb cake

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   I like loaf cakes. They are so versatile. There are the classic ones like vanilla cake, marble cake, chocolate cake… There are the fruity ones where you just add apples or cherries or …whatever – not to mention the ones w/ dried fruit… & finally every loaf may be covered by icing if a mix of chocolate & cream, if a sugar icing flavoured by lemon or orange…
