Even though the selection of veggies and fruit is often not as good in winter as it is in spring or summer, you can still prepare a lot of delicious dishes. Winter veggies, such as red beet, are perfect for a salad. The best example I can think of there, is this Lentil Salad with Red Beet & Halloumi. Packed with vitamins and really delicious!
A birthday without cake is only half as good, right? You don’t need an elaborate seven layer cake with buttercream – a delicious Lemonade Pound Cake with a few colorful sprinkles on top is all you need. Simple and easy. The cake tastes excellent and does not require a lot of effort to prepare. What more could you want? A few presents, of course… ;P
When it comes to breakfast, chocolate spreads have a lot of fans, right?! Most people will probably think of Nutella here, but there are many more, of course! In Spain (and Portugal), Nocilla is a strong competitor for the chocolate spread from Italy. We have good connections to Spain and visit more often – a glass jar of Nocilla almost always ends up in our luggage. That’s why I used the chocolate spread here as a filling for these delicious NY Style Nocilla Filled Chocolate Nougat Cookies. Sooo good! I think you can see in the pictures how good they are. ;P
At the end of every year, it is customary for many people to take a look back at the past year… so why not do it here as well? Maybe it will become a tradition? Let’s see.

When it comes to baking Christmas cookies, many people make plans in advance on what to bake. It’s no different here. Sometimes you need a batch of cookies a bit more spontaneously… maybe because most of them have already been eaten, or you have a surprise visitor coming. These simple Spritz Cookies aka. German Spritzgebäck are perfect for such occasions. The preparation of these cookies is super easy and the result is really delicious! All we want for Christmas, right?! ;P
The world is weird sometimes. Social media got quite powerful in the past few years – so powerful it can cause food shortages. Not life-threatening food shortages, but in the case of Dubai Chocolate, there was a shortage of pistachio cream and Kadayif pastry threads all over Germany in the last several months. ;P The ingredients for these Dubai Chocolate Pralines were not available for quite some time, but a few days ago I finally got everything I needed to make these delicious chocolates.
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 ;)
