There is a lot you can do with zucchini. Many people will probably end up baking them in the oven – if all goes well, topped with plenty of cheese. ;P We like to use them to cook delicious Zucchini Chutney whenever possible. Chutneys are super easy to prepare and can be added to many dishes. We always have some kind of chutney or relish in the fridge. ;P
There’s much more to a BBQ than just throwing meat onto the hot flames. In addition to meat, sausage, or tofu schnitzel, you also need some salad and bread, of course. That’s normally a lot of stuff. In case you don’t want to buy the bread for your BBQ party, but would rather make it yourself, a Tomato Soda Bread with Nigella Seeds, like this one here is the perfect solution. The bread is super quick and easy to prepare and tastes really delicious thanks to the tomatoes!
Unfortunately, not many recipes were passed down from one generation to the next in our family. Many in our family liked to bake, cook, and eat, but writing down recipes and sharing them with someone… not so much. I am probably the first one to do this properly ;P However, one recipe has managed to be passed on: Grandma’s Pasta Salad (with Mayonnaise). A classic pasta salad that’s a standard for our BBQ gatherings ;)
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 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.
When it’s sunny and warm outside in summer and the kitchen is warm/hot as well – no one likes to spend more time than necessary inside that kitchen. A hot oven heating up the kitchen even more? No way! ;P So working with minimal heat or being able to cook/bake outside is the best in my opinion. This Corn Salsa with Tortilla Chips is a great option if you want to work only with a hot pan or your BBQ grill outside. Great side for grilled meat or veggies, as well as a nice snack for a movie night with friends. ;)
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 ;)
