I had to bake again with bourbon whiskey. I am still having an almost full bottle I bought because I needed some drops for a recipe couple weeks ago ;) Well… and since I’m not drinking that stuff on a regular basis, I have to use it in other ways…
Or somebody could give me some nice recipes for cocktails with bourbon – I think that that could help ;) READ MORE
I have to be honest with you – the chances this cookies look like a total mess when you take them out of the oven are quite big ;) BUT – that is totally fine – it is fixable! Nobody will notice at the end. READ MORE
Lebkuchen is an absolute classic for the Christmas season aka. Advent season. It’s probably one of the most popular German sweets for Christmas (besides Christmas Stollen). The most known Lebkuchen is from Nuremberg – that’s why almost everyone calls them Nuremberg Lebkuchen aka. »Nürnberger Lebkuchen« ;P These often quite big and sweet treats have a long tradition and can be bought on Christmas markets, for example. But… you can make them at home, of course! This article will give you all the information you need to bake them at home.
I think I have expressed my affection for Nutella several times already ;)
Here is another recipe with this delicious treat sent from… well not heaven but Italy. Anyways. The recipe is pretty basic – it just takes a bit time to roast the hazelnuts – so if you find already roasted and peeled hazelnuts, feel free to use them instead :) READ MORE
Today’s recipe is a contribution to a blog event where it is all about yeast dough. Really nice idea I think – several food bloggers get together and make an ebook with recipes about that one special topic: yeast. Maybe I should try something like that too some day…
A homemade babka or braided loaf is not only for Easter a nice treat. I could actually eat a slice of this simple German Nusszopf (Braided Loaf with Nuts) every day. Unfortunately, my blood sugar wouldn’t be too thrilled if I did. I don’t use a lot of sugar in the dough here, but the sugar glaze on top is too much for me personally ;) That’s why I do not always brush the whole loaf with the glaze – the part I want to eat has no sugar on top. Clever, right?! ;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 ;)
