It’s time for another “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise”! The month is coming to an end and Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and I have once again agreed on a topic for two new recipes, so today it’s all about “mango”! This delicious green-red or yellow fruit, which is (unfortunately) not growing here in Germany but still available all year round in supermarkets. To celebrate this sweet and tasty fruit, I made a delicious Mango Cheesecake Charlotte today…
It is finally getting a bit cooler again – that means we can finally turn on the oven again without having to heat up an already warm kitchen even more. In our apartment directly under the roof, it is pretty bad in summer cause we don’t have an a/c… Well, today I got another cake that doesn’t need to be baked: a delicious Chai Rice Pudding Cake with Raspberry Topping. Delicious no matter what season or outside temperature ;)
Some of you may remember my cookbook “Bake in the USA”… it’s been quite a while already since it got published. Unfortunately, the edition is out of stock and not available in regular bookstores anymore. There are still a few online stores that sell some (leftover) books nobody bought or some used copies, but you need a bit of luck nowadays to find a copy. Fortunately for you, some of the recipes from the book can be found here on the blog. Today I am showing you another recipe from the book… well not exactly the same recipe as it appears in the book, but it is based on one of those recipes: Peanut Butter Cups with Popcorn Topping! Salty, sweet and sticky deliciousness ;)
This blog is lacking recipes with fish I’d say. Probably not a big surprise for most of you since this blog is all about baking and sweet stuff normally. I got exactly two recipes with fish on the blog so far: a delicious Quiche with Smoked Salmon and Green Asparagus and Smørrebrød with Herring Salad. COVID has not only turned the world upside down, it also changed a lot of things here on the blog – that’s why you get a new “fishy” recipe today: delicious Salmon with Roasted Peppers & Quinoa Salad. My personal dream come true ;P
There is always “something” that is taking over the food world by storm. It’s either a certain fruit or veggie that is suddenly popular – or dishes everybody wants to make and post on Instagram. It’s a “trendy” thing for the ones that did not know about it, and “old news” to those that have eaten – whatever it is – their whole life. The avocado is a good example, as well as the Dalgona Coffee (the number one coffee trend this summer) or this Shakshuka (with black beans) here… all of a sudden it’s everywhere and everybody wants it ;P
Some of you may have seen our little “farting machine” here on the blog or on Instagram already. Our French bulldog Bruno is bringing us joy for seven years already with loud snoring at night and frequent farting attacks when we are innocently watching a movie on the sofa. Yesterday was his birthday – Bruno and I have the same zodiac sign and are both equally stubborn – in order to celebrate that special day I made him some Doggie Cookies with Carrots, Potatoes and a tiny bit of peanut butter… because he loves peanut butter ;)
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
