Summer | Bake to the roots

My family was never very adventurous when it comes to salad. Back in the day we basically switched from plain lettuce to tomato salad, and tomato salad… then back to lettuce, and so on. Quite monotonous, right? There is so much more you can do and enjoy. Today I am much more experimental and throw pretty much everything into a bowl and call it a salad ;P This Vegan Vermicelli Rice Noodle Salad is not really an experiment, because I basically recreated a salad I had in a restaurant… but you get what I mean, right? ;)

Kofta Skewers with Tomato Salad

September 19, 2023

Summer is the time for barbecue! Right? However, even in summer, you can have rainy days too. That means you might not always be able to grill something outside in your backyard. If you got an electric grill that’s actually not a problem – just move your BBQ party into the house. These delicious Kofta Skewers with Tomato Salad can be grilled outside or inside – it does not really matter. They will turn out great no matter what type of grill you are going to use… a frying pan is actually also fine here ;)

Summer Salad with Roasted Quinoa & Chickpeas

August 30, 2023

Give me a colorful and delicious salad, and I am happy. There is nothing better in summer. Salads are healthy and normally not too complicated to prepare. The latter does not quite apply to this Summer Salad with Roasted Quinoa & Chickpeas, to be honest. Well, at least not fully. Compared to a simple tomato salad you have to do several steps more to get this salad on the table… but it’s definitely worth the extra work. Roasting the quinoa and chickpeas before adding to the salad makes a great difference ;)

Peaches ‘n’ Berries Summer Cobbler

August 27, 2023

There are so many delicious things you can make for dessert. The choice can be quite overwhelming, to be honest. If you are as indecisive as me sometimes, I recommend trying this simple Peaches ‘n’ Berries Summer Cobbler and serving it with some ice cream on top. It’s an extremely tasty dessert that can be prepared in no time at all and doesn’t require fancy ingredients. Most of them can be found in your kitchen cabinets I assume – with one small exception maybe ;)

Vegan Summer Rolls with Crispy Tofu

August 10, 2023

July 2023 has been the hottest month in (recorded) history. When it’s hot outside we tend to go for lighter and healthier »summer dishes«. A lot of salad, veggies, fuits, and rather smaller snacks instead of heavy and hearty dishes with loads of carbs and/or fat. That stuff is perfect for winter when you need the extra energy ;P We love to make these Vegan Summer Rolls with Crispy Tofu in summer. Super easy to prepare and with the extremely delicious peanut dipping sauce just terrific! Really! You have to try it! Unless you are allergic to peanuts… then you might want to go for a sweet’n’sour dipping sauce instead ;P

Colorful Tomato Salad (with Feta)

July 25, 2023

Summer is the time for tomatoes – it’s quite obvious if you go to a Farmer’s market and see them everywhere ;) We have some tomato plants on our balcony that give us sweet and delicious fruits – unfortunately, not enough at once to make a whole Colorful Tomato Salad (with Feta) like this one here. But we can use at least some of them if we want to make a salad… the rest has to come from a store or market. That’s fine. We would not be able to grow a large variety of tomatoes anyway. If we only had a garden. When I was a kid all the tomatoes could have come out of our garden because there was enough space to grow everything we wanted ;P Well… maybe again someday.
