Summer is the season for cherries. As soon as they hit the farmers market, we normally grab a basket and snack the first ones on the way home already. What’s left, often ends up in a compote. Like the one we used here for these Mini Cheesecakes with Cherry Compote. Super easy and quick to make. What more could you want?! Another one, of course! ;P
Summer is the time for veggies from your own garden… if you have one. One of the easiest and most productive veggies to grow is definitely zucchini. In case you got a few home-grown zucchini lying around, you might want to take a look at these delicious Zucchini Fries with Ranch Dip. Quick and easy to prepare and really tasty. Like everything deep-fried. ;P
Is there anything better than having a big plate of food on the table where everyone can help themselves as they please? These easy Nachos with Chili con Carne are perfect for evenings when you’re sitting together, chatting, having fun and want to munch on something. You could also enjoy a little tray like this on the couch when watching a movie. No need to share with other people. ;P
In summer, people like to get together in the garden or park with friends and family. Some people fire up the barbecue, while we prefer to cozy up with something sweet and a few drinks. These little Strawberry Tarts are quick and easy to prepare and really delicious. The perfect sweet treat for the next summer party!
We’ve all been there – you get invited somewhere and don’t really know what to bring as a little »thank-you gift«. We like to solve this problem with Homemade Chocolate Truffles, which you wrap up nicely and give to the hosts of the party. If you know what the recipient likes, you can customize and personalize these truffles very easily. The perfect gift!
Whenever you are in need of a quick sweet treat or snack for guests, there are many ways to make something at home. Cakes, cupcakes, or cookies – there is a lot that’s easy to prepare. If you like things particularly simple, you should try Vanilla Custard Pastries. Puff pastry dough from the supermarket is a quick and easy way to create something delicious!
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 ;)
