Sometimes you are just not in the mood after a long day at work to spend even more time working in the kitchen to make dinner. What do I say… sometimes? I mean never! ;) For this reason, I love me some dinner like this one here – Roasted Cauliflower with Chickpeas. Conveniently made in the oven on one tray. Really easy to prepare and if you make a bit more you got leftovers you can use the next day. Sounds good, right?
I have to be honest and admit that I was not a big fan of quinces until now. That’s why you will not find any recipe with this fruit here on the blog… apart from Domino Squares (Dominosteine) – a classic Christmas treat where the quince is used in a jelly layer ;) This year I got several fruits through friends and had to use them, of course. So I made quick and easy Quince & Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake. Well… it turned out really delicious I have to admit!
Onion cake aka. Zwiebelkuchen is a typical cake from my home back at Lake Constance. You will find these cakes in the south of Germany, Switzerland, and the Alsace area everywhere in late summer and fall. This onion cake here is made with yeasted dough and a good amount of onion filling… exactly how the perfect onion cake should look like ;P
Fall is here. At least in Berlin. Temperatures dropped and it finally started to rain. Not sure if I like that. I appreciate the lower temperatures and the foggy mornings, but I do not like the rain and less light during the day… but it also means you can finally cook hearty meals again. Not only salad because it was too hot to do anything else. Time for stews and soups like this Creamy Potato Soup with Spinach, for example. Not yet a super heavy dish but we are getting there ;P
Gnocchi are great to prepare a delicious dinner quickly, easy, and cheap. These little potato packages are available pre-made and cooled in supermarkets. Add some veggies and a sauce and you got yourself a delicious meal. These gnocchi with broccoli, mushrooms, and browned butter are a simple dish that is ready in no time and will fill you up nicely. As it should be ;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 ;)
