Every year when summer is almost there, it’s time for rhubarb to shine! However, the season is quite short, so you have to get the most out of it, right? For example, with delicious Homemade Rhubarb Curd. An absolutely delicious cream you can use for desserts, cakes, and much more. You can also enjoy rhubarb curd with some simple cookies. It’s a great way to enjoy this sweet summer treat without complicating it too much. Life can be so easy and delicious! ;)
What’s the most important thing you need when you have friends or family over on your terrace? Drinks? Well… yes, but what about food? Most definitely! ;P I think snacks are more important than drinks. I am fine with water only if I get some olives to nibble on or nice bread and something to dip ;) That’s why I always have stuff like that at home or at least, the ingredients to make something like this Feta Spread with Sun-dried Tomatoes. Nobody sits on my terrace without anything to eat ;P
A few years ago, hummus found its way from specialty stores into our “regular” supermarkets. I’m not really surprised this happened – this dip is super tasty and also very versatile. Nowadays you can find all kinds of hummus in stores. The classic hummus with chickpeas and tahini has got some competition. Here, for example, from hummus made with red beets. That does not look only really good, it also tastes extremely delicious ;)
Mexican dishes and the Tex-Mex cuisine from the US found their way to Germany several years ago, but it is still sometimes difficult to get the right ingredients for various recipes. In the US, for example, you can get everything your heart desires. Pre-made enchilada sauce is something you can get in countless versions in supermarkets – ready for you to use in your favorite enchilada recipe. To be honest, I prefer making my own sauces and stuff like that, but having the option – just in case you need it one day when in a hurry – is something I like a lot ;) Well… if you want to make awesome enchiladas and can’t find ready-made sauce in the stores, here’s a recipe to help you easily: Homemade Enchilada Sauce. Only the best, of course! ;)
If you’re into Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, I am pretty sure you’ve come across Refried Beans. These twice-cooked/baked beans are part of many dishes, but also work great with some nachos as a snack for your next party or movie night… in case we are allowed to celebrate parties with other people ever again ;P
If you love Mexican cuisine, you’ve come to the right place. Today I got a very simple “recipe” for a spice mix used in many Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes: Taco Seasoning. Much better (and cheaper) than anything from the supermarket. I promise! ;)
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 ;)
