They may not be a standard for breakfast, but in my opinion, popovers are perfect for breakfast or brunch. Especially if there is a larger group at the table. These Easy Biscoff Popovers are the perfect sweet treat in between or the perfect end to a brunch. Easy to prepare and quick to decorate. Never work more than absolutely necessary in the kitchen ;P
Fresh bread from your (own) oven is the best. When you can cut the first slice from the still slightly warm bread… priceless! Unfortunately, most bread recipes are not exactly easy. There’s a lot to consider – the right ratio of dry ingredients to liquid, temperatures, rising times, etc. Don’t even get me started on keeping an eye on sourdough ;P Fortunately, not all bread recipes are complicated. Some are quite easy to prepare. This No-Knead Porridge Bread is one of those. It’s not ready in 5 minutes either, but at least it’s quicker (and easier) than many other breads ;P
Advent is the time for Christmas cookies – it all starts on the first of December and ends whenever all the cookies are gone. If you bake a lot like me that can be in late January ;P Every family has their traditions, and everyone has their favorite Christmas cookies. The amount of cookies to choose from is pretty much endless. Today I’ve taken a traditional recipe for Spitzbuben and modified the cookies a little. You can call them Orange Funfetti Spitzbuben now. Not your traditional Christmas cookies I have to admit ;P
Christmas and the Advent season are not perfect if there is no Christmas Stollen to nibble on. It’s a typical German thing. We don’t have the same Stollen every year – we like to switch it up sometimes. This year we will probably bake a simple Almond Marzipan Stollen again. Juicy, aromatic, and extremely tasty. A Christmas bake definitely worth trying and maybe a good option for those who hate raisins ;P
Christmas is the time for family. The time for presents. And the time for lots of food, right? Even though we love to try new dishes throughout the year – when it comes to the food during the Christmas season we tend to go back to the classics we have known since we were kids. All those traditional recipes Grandma liked to prepare or eat (when she was not in the mood for cooking or baking) ;P Even though Germany is not very big – the traditions vary quite a lot. This means – these 10 Traditional Christmas Recipes from Grandma might not be what everybody in Germany makes all the time… but they are definitely our favorites! ;)
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 ;)
