A brand new year is approaching – it could be good to know what is going to happen, right? We are all a bit curious about what the next year might bring. Instead of asking a psychic or trying to read tea leaves, you can make some Fortune Cookies and let them decide what’s coming up… and since you are the one making them and creating the messages, you are the one deciding what’s gonna happen ;P
Easter without any yeast bake is impossible in my house! It does not matter if it’s a classic bake or a more modern attempt of creating something with yeast – something has to end up on the table. For example something like this yeast wreath aka. savarin filled with pistachio cream and espresso infused glaze. Definitely a “must have” for a good Easter brunch!
Be honest with me: do you like yeast bakes? Me personally – huge fan! I would say “number one fan since I was born” but that would be an obvious lie… it took some time until I got teeth and my mom gave me my first piece of braided (yeast) loaf… but from that moment on I was a huge fan! Really ;) Back then I preferred a sweet braided loaf but today I take everything I can – sweet or savory like this pull-apart bread with salami and cheese for example.
Let’s get started with Christmas baking, shall we? Christmas is not that far away, so it’s a good idea to check some recipes for Christmas cookies you might want to try in the upcoming weeks. To make it easy for you, I got one of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes for you today: Rum Sandwich Cookies! Just for adults and so good! ;P
Have you ever heard of Marzipan Almond Crescents? I mean the name says it all, but have you tried something like that? It’s awesome delicious! Really. If you had one, you want them all. That’s the reason, why I am making them not very often. Too dangerous :P
Hey, what’s up folks?! ;) Still baking for Christmas or did you finish already? I mean Christmas cookies. If not – you know #CookieFriday turns into #ChristmasCookieFriday in December, so get ready for some nice cookies especially decorated for Christmas! It took a bit longer this time, so I had some time to listen to Christmas music and had one or maybe two mulled wines while working… exactly what you should do, when baking and decorating Gingerbread Christmas Cookies ;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 ;)
