I love me some small snacks. Everything in a miniature format is instantly better than the original. At least that’s what I think. Mini cakes, mini sandwiches, mini burgers… so good (and cute) ;) Great to eat at home and even better when you are somewhere outside for a picnic. These Mini Borek with Feta & Tomatoes are a great example of that »rule«. Regular-sized Borek is great but the mini version is greater ;P
We love Asian cuisine. There are so many delicious dishes you can quite easily recreate at home. Of course, it’s good to have an Asian supermarket nearby to get all the necessary ingredients…. not every »regular« supermarket necessarily has everything on hand that you need for those recipes. However, the ingredients for this delicious Coconut Red Curry Soup with Rice Noodles & Crispy Pork are not super exotic. Most of them are easy to find in regular supermarkets these days ;)
If you take a look at the pictures you might think »Is that still ok? It’s so green!« ;P Well.. the answer is »yes«, it’s absolutely ok and the color is intentional! If you are coming from Google because you searched the term »Pandan« you will know what’s happening, I assume. This is a delicious Spinach Pandan Loaf Cake. Not the usual box cake your grandma normally puts on the table but certainly no less delicious! ;)
When it’s warm and sunny outside, you want to spend as much time as possible outdoors. Right? We often go to public parks in summer (because we don’t have a garden) – fortunately, we got a nice park right in front of our door. So what’s important when going out to a park – besides taking the obvious after-work beer? Some snacks, of course! Something delicious like these Spanakopita Triangles with Minced Meat, Spinach & Feta. You can prepare them easily in advance and take them anywhere – work, a train ride or to the park ;)
Pita bread is known almost everywhere in the world – it is basically the first type of bread that was made with crushed grains. Flour and some water are mixed and then slapped onto a hot stone. Shortly after that you get something like a pancake/flatbread you can eat. Over the years this type of bread evolved, of course. In Turkey, for example, they serve flatbread with delicious fillings. As an example, I got some flatbread aka. Pide with Spinach, Tomatoes & Feta. Quite easy to prepare and really delicious! Perfect if you got guests coming over ;)
Fall is here. At least in Berlin. Temperatures dropped and it finally started to rain. Not sure if I like that. I appreciate the lower temperatures and the foggy mornings, but I do not like the rain and less light during the day… but it also means you can finally cook hearty meals again. Not only salad because it was too hot to do anything else. Time for stews and soups like this Creamy Potato Soup with Spinach, for example. Not yet a super heavy dish but we are getting there ;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 ;)
