There is a lot you can do with apples. Purists simply bite into an apple and enjoy the fruit as it is. I do that from time to time too, but I actually prefer to use apples in cakes and other desserts. How about a delicious Apple Pie Tiramisu, for example? Sounds good, doesn’t it? This dessert is an absolute favorite of ours, and every time it’s placed on the table after a delicious dinner… it’s the crowning glory! ;)
Franzbrötchen are known throughout Germany, although they are actually a specialty from Northern Germany. Super tasty pastries I learned to love when I was living in Hamburg. For some time now, there is also delicious ice cream made with it… Franzbrötchen Ice Cream. A well-known German TV chef made this type of ice cream popular ;) You could call my version here a copycat… or simply an alternative if the other ice cream isn’t available in the supermarket ;P
Simple loaf cakes are always in fashion around here. Why investing more time and effort than necessary in order to have something delicious on the table? This simple Lemon Pistachio Pandan Cake is no exception here. The batter is coming together in no time at all, then you throw everything into a baking tin and bake it. Letting the cake cool down later before cutting it takes longer than the whole preparation ;P
When zucchini are in season and the harvest was good, you can often get those green fellas quite cheaply in supermarkets or at the weekly farmer’s market. So if you are on a budget or don’t want to spend a lot, zucchini might be the perfect veggie for you to prepare dinner. This delicious Zucchini & Potato Casserole can be your main course or served as a side with some meat, fish, etc.
When autumn is slowly taking over, it’s finally time for apple recipes again. You can bake delicious treats with apples all year round, of course, but autumn is the time to harvest apples and use them in as many bakes as possible ;P One of my favorite recipes to start the apple season, is this delicious Apple Frangipane Tart. It does not only look stunning, it’s also extremely delicious! So good!
Anyone who has ever come across this blog will have noticed you can find a lot of cookie recipes on here. Maybe that’s because I’ve baked at least one batch of cookies once a week for several years. Today I got another new recipe to add to the list: Ritter Sport Rum Cookies. Delicious cookies with loads of chocolate, some rum (just a little) and raisins. Yes, you read that right: Raisins! ;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 ;)
