The name of this website probably lets you think it’s all about baking – but no. Now and then I will publish cooking recipes. Delicious meals I like to prepare at home and wanted to share with you. One of my favorite dishes for Christmas is definitely this: Ossobuco with Gremolata. A delicious dish that is perfect for special occasions… like Christmas ;)
“If you want to sell a frying pan, make a Turkey Stew with Rice!” That’s what a friend of mine used to say. She sold kitchen appliances, pots, and pans on a home shopping channel back in the day. No idea if she sold a lot of this stuff but the theory sounds convincing. Pretty much everyone likes Turkey Stew ;P
Maybe I am the only one here… maybe not. When you cook one of your favorite dishes – do you get excited just from smelling the spices you add because you know it’s going to be super delicious? Well… when I make this delicious Butter Chicken it is exactly like that. The flavors are soo good! Don’t even get me started on the tenderness of the chicken or I will end up drooling over my laptop while writing about it… :P
Today I got one of the most famous Italian dishes for you… and it’s not pizza. As you can see from the photos it’s Risotto alla Milanese. The delicious creamy rice dish that’s made with saffron. Many say that risotto is a bit complicated to prepare, but I can only disagree. An absolutely simple dish… just a bit time-consuming ;)
I’d say everyone out there knows fried rice and has probably eaten it already. In Asia, every country/region has its own popular version of this dish. The recipes are usually simple – often made with leftover rice, veggies, and maybe some “protein” aka. chicken, beef, or eggs, for example. In Korea, they got this Kimchi Fried Rice and as the name reveals already, it’s made with delicious Kimchi ;) Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but we really like the combination! Soo delicious!
I know it sounds a bit weird to eat something hot and spicy in summer, something that can make you sweat, but that is actually exactly what you need sometimes! Look at the Asian cuisine – full of hot and spicy curries – which are eaten all year round at any temperature ;) When I visited Asia and Thailand in particular for the first time, I kind of fell in love with curry. All those fresh ingredients and all those incredible flavors! I really love it! This Vegan Red Thai Pumpkin Curry is a good example here – so delicious and actually quite easy to prepare. I did not make it too hot, but if you can stand the heat, feel free to spice it up! ;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 ;)
