The first time I found out about Pandan was on a trip to Thailand several years ago. Here in Germany, the plant is not widely known – in Asia Pandan is often used for sweet desserts and pastries. The flavor of vanilla with a nutty base is perfect for sweet stuff. Pandan extract is now a staple in our pantry and is often used in bakes. Not only here in these Pandan Lemon Crinkle Cookies. Something you should definitely try ;)
How about a little refreshment in the form of a dessert? Sounds good, does it? With this lemon & buttermilk dessert in a glass, you get the body temperature certainly (*cough*) lowered by a minimum of one degree – provided, of course, it is well chilled in advance and then enjoyed directly from the fridge ;)
It’s time again for a new “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise” with Andrea Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte. Once a month we get together (virtually) and create something based on a topic we’ve chosen in advance – not knowing what the one on the other end of Germany (we live far from each other) is doing. This month it’s all about fruity muffins. You probably noticed that already when you saw these Jumbo Muffins with blueberries, lemon, and poppy seeds ;P
There is actually not that much to tell about this cake here. The name says it all I guess: Lemon & Orange Olive Oil Cake. Thank you, and goodbye! ;P Well… there is probably a bit more to tell. About the awesome flavors and the great texture of the cake… the simplicity. Grab a slice and you will see what I mean ;P
If you’ve ever been on vacation in the US you’ll know that people there love to eat muffins for breakfast. Together with a cup of coffee, this is certainly a good option to start your day… if you’re in a hurry or want to eat your breakfast on the go. I prefer my muffins in the afternoon. One of these Cheesecake Streusel Muffin with Lemon Curd and a cup of coffee and I am happy until dinner ;)
Today I got one of my most cooked dishes for you. Something we really cook a lot at home. Delicious pasta with broccoli and a creamy ricotta and lemon sauce – all done in one pot. If you are hungry and you want food instantly, this one-pot dish is the perfect solution! ;)
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 ;)
