Do you need a nice hot sauce? This Easy Mojo Picón is mucho delicioso and a staple of Spanish cuisine..! If you like it hot you should definitely try this one. It’s really good! ;)
This sauce is something you will often find on the Canary Islands. Papas Arrugadas with Mojo Picón is one of their most known dishes – small potatoes that are not skinned and cooked in salt water until the potato skin gets very wrinkly. Those wrinkly potatoes with the mojo sauce – absolutely delicious!
A good BBQ needs a good BBQ Sauce – seems pretty obvious, right?
The stuff you get in the stores is sometimes pretty lame ;) Often too sweet or in general not well balanced in flavors. If you do your own BBQ Sauce, you can forget about all of that. You are your own sauce master! Make it spicy, make it smokey, make it boozy! It is all up to you!
Mother’s day is coming up. Here in Germany it’s pretty common to bring your beloved mom some flowers and something to eat – e.g. cake or sweets… or even better: something you made yourself to show your love! Mostly if you’re bit younger and don’t have money to spend on gifts – yes I’m talking about all those ugly drawings your mother loved no matter what ;))
It is bacon jam! It is bacon jam with bourbon whiskey!! Exactly – dreams do come true! I guess every man out there thinks now “Why haven’t I thought about this earlier? So many years of my life passed by – meaningless – until now!” ;)
I already made eggnog for Christmas last year – I know that is something you can buy in stores – except here in Germany ;) So making something like that makes sense if you want it and can’t get it elsewhere.
The Eierlikör on the other hand is something you can shop here year round in every supermarket – we Germans have a long tradition on drinking that (or better said nice old ladies have a long tradition on drinking that). Anyways, you get it everywhere, so why make it? Well… here comes my standard answer: Because you will get something much better than the stuff you can buy in the store! That applies for many things actually. Sometimes it is cheaper to make it at home, sometimes it is a bit more work to do than just go to a supermarket and buy it – but in almost all cases the result you get at home is much better than the pre-made stuff and you always know 100% what’s in it – which you can’t be with store bought stuff. So here is my advice – make more things at home. It is easy – as easy as making this Eierlikör :)
Are you looking for a little gift for friends? Something you can bring if you are invited to a party? Well – make a cake in a jar and everybody will be impressed – everybody will think you are the queen or king of baking ;)
Hi, my name is Marc. I'm a graphic designer. 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 ;) Read more...
