How about some chocolate cookies for Cookie Friday? Cookies loaded with chocolate to be precise. Would you be interested in those Chocolate Crinkle Cookies? The crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside type of CHOCOLATE COOKIES! Yeah… I can see your eyes getting bigger the more I talk about CHOCOLATE… :P
If I ask someone here in Berlin if they know what “Kirschwähe” means, I will probably get the same looks like here… assuming you are not from southern Germany and know that name for a certain bake :P Well… it is the name for something delicious and only a small part of Germany uses this word. End of story… :P
It’s time for another “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise”! Once again a new topic for Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and myself. This month we decided to do something with gooseberries. Have you ever made something with those berries? They are sweet and delicious – and so is this Gooseberry Streusel Cheesecake! Care for a slice (or two)? ;)
Less is more. As a designer I follow this rule as often as possible – unless the client wants something else ;P When it comes to baking this rule should also be a mantra for any baker. Keep it simple. More is not automatically more. These classic Shortbread Cookies we all know from British tea parties are a good example for the “less is more” rule ;)
Like ice in the sunshine, I’m melting awaaaaay… this song comes to my mind as soon as I see ads for ice cream somewhere – especially in the movies when they show that screen with the ice cream selection of the movie theater. The advertising industry did well with that, when they started using this song for ice cream ads back when I was a kid. Burned (or frozen?) into my mind forever ;) Well, I did not want to talk about music but homemade Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream – perfect if you want to cool down a bit this summer…
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 ;)
