On a hot summer day, the oven normally stays off in my kitchen. If possible. It can get really hot in my apartment and adding more heat from an oven would be just too much ;) No-bake cakes are a great option on days like that. Normally pretty easy to prepare and made mostly by the fridge. Even though those fridge cakes are the easiest way to get something sweet, there is much more to make in summer. To show you what I like the most, I put a list together with my Top 10 recipes for summer ;)
It’s cheesecake time! Last week we celebrated Cheesecake Day – well the world did, I totally forgot about that day (shame on me). I could have posted this delicious Berry Cheesecake on that day since the recipe was done for some time already, but hey… every day can be Cheesecake Day! No matter if in spring, summer, fall or winter ;)) So let’s get the plates ready, I get a knife and we can start enjoying this beauty together…
Strawberries are everywhere right now. Everywhere on the street, the markets and also in our kitchen ;) Here in Berlin you can find little booths at almost every corner selling strawberries and is very tempting each time you pass by. Well… most of the time I actually do not pass by but stop and buy some strawberries. That’s probably the reason why I have so many recipes with strawberries here on the blog already. Which brings me to this little collection here. Since I have so many recipes with strawberries, why not sharing with you my top 10 favorite strawberry recipes on the blog?
Happy Blueberry Picking Day to all of you! Yes… something like that really exists ;) So let’s celebrate this special day In honor of all people that work in the blueberry picking industry and, of course, to honor these little blue fellas! I made a delicious Charlotte with Strawberries and Blueberries (cause you should never party alone)! ;))
During the strawberry season, we basically have fresh strawberries at home each day. Well, almost every day ;) On my way to work or back home I always pass by one of those little carts where they sell fresh strawberries from the fields. Normally at least one little strawberry basket ends up in my bag because everybody at home loves strawberries – even our French Bulldog Bruno! Well… this Strawberry Tart is definitely not for him. It’s just for us humans in the house :P
Hot, hotter, the hottest… summer finally arrived and is giving us all! Sun, high temperatures but also some cooler days in between with thunderstorms. Yay! Well, not so much the thunderstorms since we are on the top floor with windows in the ceiling… really annoying when there is a lot of rain coming down ;) Anyway. I did not want to talk about rain – it’s all about ice cream today! Delicious homemade strawberry ice cream – my new favorite treat when it’s hot!
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 ;)
