Have you already decided what to cook and bake for Christmas this year? Are you more into classic dishes or can it be modern and “experimental? We haven’t decided on the main courses yet this year, but the dessert has been chosen already: Baked Apples with Marzipan will be served on one of the Christmas holiday days ;)
What would you say if we have a little glass of liquor along with today’s Cookie Friday cookies? Can’t hurt, right?! I mean… the weekend almost started. Come on! ;) Maybe some liquor in the cookies as well? That would be even better. Luckily I am a forward-thinking baker and got that covered already. These little Chocolate Snowballs got some Baileys* inside ;)
Cheers! Don’t worry I haven’t started to drink while I am writing recipes and articles, either did I develop such a habit while baking ;) But there is a reason for the “cheers” – the new Tullamore D.E.W XO plays an important part in these Caribbean inspired Shortbread today, so I guess you can serve a glass with it. Right?! Well then… cheers again!
I don’t know if you’ve experienced this kind of feeling… or better said urge ;) The urge for lemons, oranges and everything citrus when the weather is bad and when it’s cold outside. There are days where I think “I need vitamins immediately – is there a lemon somewhere so I can have a bite?!” ;) Well… fortunately, there are ways to avoid this kind of weird behavior. Just make this Tarte au Citron Meringuèe and all is fine! Let me show you how to make it (with a little help of my friend aka. the Retro Ribbon Red handheld mixer from Russell Hobbs).
Are you a cinnamon flavor fan like me? Yes? Well… I guess I got something for you. Again ;) I think I’ve collected quite a good amount of recipes already where cinnamon is the “hero” ingredient. For Example this Cinnamon Roll Bread, this XXL Cinnamon Roll (Cake), a Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread, classic German Cinnamon Stars and many more ;) Now one more cause there is always room for another bake with cinnamon. Mini Cinnamon Wreaths this time. So good! :)
I got some cake again for you! Not some regular cake – no – it’s a delicious no-bake cheesecake or better said an Amarettini Mousse Cake. That would be the correct name for it ;) Unfortunately, it is not based on one of my recipes, but that does not mean it is bad…;P Not at all. It’s actually really delicious! So who is the creator of that recipe you may ask? Well… I will tell you in a minute ;)
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 ;)
