Brownies are the perfect sweet treat for many people out there. Packed with chocolate and sugar it’s hard to resist – I have to be honest ;) Today I got a recipe that works without plant-based ingredients only. Very simple Vegan Brownies. Even though the brownies are vegan – do not mistake them for being “healthy” just because they are vegan. The absence of dairy products or eggs does not mean there is not a lot of fat and carbs involved. Be aware of that ;P
Zürich is one of the best-known and most popular cities in Switzerland. After finishing university I was thinking about moving to the beautiful city at Lake Zurich – not far from where I actually grew up. I was torn between the lovely (and expensive) Swiss city and Berlin where I live now… I guess you can figure out how the story ended ;P Nonetheless, I still have “roots” in Switzerland and we love to make one of the most popular Swiss dishes here at home – Zürcher Geschnetzeltes with Rösti. It’s so good!
For special days and celebrations, people like to have a cake on the table. Today is one of these special days, that deserves a cake. This small Rainbow Piñata Cake. Colorful, delicious, and also coming with a message. Today is May 17th and some may know or can guess what today is all about…
For many people, fall is primarily the season for everything apple. It makes sense because that’s the time when apples are harvested. Clever storage, however, makes it possible that apples are available all year round. Many apple varieties stay fresh for 9 months, some even for 12 months, if stored correctly. That means delicious apple pies and tarts, like this great Normandy Apple Tart, are available 365 days a year. Yay! ;)
There are things we almost always have in our fridge – a bag with fresh gnocchi from the supermarket. Whenever you are in a hurry and don’t feel like cooking those pre-cooked potato dumplings are perfect. You just have to warm them and slap on some pesto, for example. That’s it. Cooking is done. Today I got a recipe to make simple gnocchi with paste a bit fancier: delicious (and easy to prepare) Gnocchi with Mushrooms, Asparagus, Pesto & Burrata. So good!
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 ;)
