The month of June is coming to an end… time for another “Bake Together” with Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte. We already had several nice summer days here in Germany so it’s time to heat up the grill and get the next bbq party going on. Not without a delicious Focaccia with Tomatoes, Garlic, and Thyme. The perfect companion for everything grilled. No summer party is perfect without it… at least in my opinion ;)
Sometimes you just don’t feel like standing in the kitchen for a long time and cooking an elaborate dinner. I write “sometimes”, but actually mean “almost always” ;P After a long day in the kitchen I often just do not feel like spending even more time at the stove to prepare a whole dinner. In those moments, simple melts are a great solution. Chickpeas and tomatoes end up on a piece of bread, with some cheese on top – that’s all you need. Perfect for a lazy person like me ;P
Dinner does not have to be complicated. We love a quick and easy dinner… for example, made with gnocchi. For that reason, we normally have a package of pre-made gnocchi from the store in the fridge. You can do a lot with these potato dumplings and in most cases, the preparation is done in no time! Same for this delicious Easy Chorizo Gnocchi Pan here. Spain meets Italy and everyone is happy about it ;)
I am a big fan of raspberries. I could eat them all day long. The perfect sweet little snack. Wherever you throw them on top – on a bake, a smoothie bowl, or whatever – everything will be instantly more delicious. That’s a fact ;P This Raspberry Coconut Mousse Tart actually does not need raspberries on top because there are a lot of them already in the mousse… but it will not hurt if you add a lot of raspberries to decorate the tart. They are not only delicious, but they also look nice ;)
During the pandemic banana bread had a great “revival”. Everybody made them. Of course, banana bread is around for much longer. When everyone suddenly had overripe bananas and a lot of time at hand (because they were stuck at home) banana bread was the “hot s***t” to bake ;P Today I got a slightly modified “banana bread” you could say. In the shape of a bundt cake. Bananas and peanut butter combined. Something you can bake any time of the year ;)
I recently got my hands on some purple cauliflower and, of course, I had to make something with it right away – this Roasted Harissa Cauliflower & Chickpea Salad. Super tasty and extremely easy to prepare. You can do so many delicious things with roasted veggies! Preparing veggies in the oven to make many different dishes has become a standard in our kitchen. The results are always delicious ;)
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 ;)
