If you got a garden and have planted zucchini once, you may be familiar with the problem that at some point in summer, it feels like all of your zucchini plants are packed with fruits at the same time. Enough to feed a whole soccer team ;P In cases like that, it’s good to have recipes at hand to use all those zucchini. Something like this delicious Zucchini Lime Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Ideal to get rid of some of these green fellas ;P
There’s much more to a BBQ than just throwing meat onto the hot flames. In addition to meat, sausage, or tofu schnitzel, you also need some salad and bread, of course. That’s normally a lot of stuff. In case you don’t want to buy the bread for your BBQ party, but would rather make it yourself, a Tomato Soda Bread with Nigella Seeds, like this one here is the perfect solution. The bread is super quick and easy to prepare and tastes really delicious thanks to the tomatoes!
When I think of classic bakes from Germany, two cakes immediately spring to mind – Black Forest Cake and Bee Sting Cake aka. Bienenstich. Of course, there are many more, but these are the two cakes that have probably been served at home (back in the day) the most. This Bee Sting Cake with Strawberries is a variation of the classic Bienenstich – a great option in summer when fresh strawberries are available from local farmers :)
Summer and strawberries belong together, like the beach and sunburn. I don’t like sunburn, but I love strawberries. They are a great snack on a hot summer day but also work great for any type of dessert – something like these little Strawberry Mascarpone Tartlets, for example. Fresh, creamy and super delicious! All you want for summer ;)
I am a big fan of everything rhubarb. I could use this veggie all the time for my bakes. Unfortunately, the season is far too short – it starts in April and ends on June 24 (Saint John’s Eve). Hardly enough time to bake everything you could bake ;P In case you want to bake this Easy Rhubarb Filo Tart, you’ll have to get your ingredients ready soon… the countdown is on!
Easter without a cake – not possible in many families. If you get together for an Easter brunch or simply for a coffee date during the long Easter weekend you need cake. Right?! It’s essential for the whole shablam. This year I am probably baking again this delicious German Eierlikör Custard Streusel Cake. We’ve been baking this cake for many years already but the recipe never made it onto the blog… until now ;P
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 ;)
