Delicious apricots are available in every supermarket in summer – they come in different sizes and a wide variety of colors – sometimes yellow, sometimes orange, sometimes red. No matter what type of apricots you have on hand, you can use all of them to make this delicious (Sunken) Apricot Cake. An extremely simple cake that tastes awesome. Just like Grandma always made it!
They are absolute classics here in Germany – Braised Cucumbers with Meatballs were always a favorite of our grandma. Nowadays, they may not be quite as hip and trendy as other dishes, but we really like braised cucumbers in a creamy sauce with some meatballs on the side. Childhood memories. And yes, me, the person writing this article here, is a little older. ;P
Galettes are extremely delicious and super easy to prepare. This simple (Summer) Cherry Galette is no exception to that rule. It’s the perfect sweet dessert in summer when cherries are in season. There’s nothing better than a slice of a galette like this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top… accompanied by an iced coffee. The perfect combination!
We love Asian cuisine – that’s probably because we like everything a little spicier. Let’s just say that slightly »hotter« dishes are not uncommon in Asia, right?! ;) This delicious Korean Cucumber Salad (with Gochugaru) also packs a punch… if you’re not careful with the chili flakes, aka. Gochugaru. If you like it tasty and spicy, you should definitely make this recipe!
Using preserved lemons is not particularly common in German cuisine. Whenever a chef wants to experiment a little, they might use Preserved Lemons aka. Salt Lemons, but they are not commonly used in our part of the world. In Morocco and some other national cuisines, however, the situation is quite different… ;)
Whenever we have guests at home, there has to be food on the table. It does not have to be much – something simple and delicious to share is fine in most cases. Something like these Baked Eggplants with Hummus & Matbucha, for example. Place a few of them on the table and everyone can help themselves. They are so good! Everyone will ask for the recipe, for sure! ;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 ;)
