In summer, you’ll find a few zucchini plants in almost every veggie garden. They’re a staple for many gardeners. Why? Well, the plants are quite easy to grow and usually very productive. Gardeners love it when their hard labor is rewarded with a nice and lush harvest. We’ve had good results in the past with our small raised bed on the terrace. Maybe not enough to make these Stuffed Zucchini with Mediterranean Rice for a whole family, but it’s normally enough for the two of us at home. ;P
Delicious apricots are available in every supermarket in summer – they come in different sizes and a wide variety of colors – sometimes yellow, sometimes orange, sometimes red. No matter what type of apricots you have on hand, you can use all of them to make this delicious (Sunken) Apricot Cake. An extremely simple cake that tastes awesome. Just like Grandma always made it!
They are absolute classics here in Germany – Braised Cucumbers with Meatballs were always a favorite of our grandma. Nowadays, they may not be quite as hip and trendy as other dishes, but we really like braised cucumbers in a creamy sauce with some meatballs on the side. Childhood memories. And yes, me, the person writing this article here, is a little older. ;P
Galettes are extremely delicious and super easy to prepare. This simple (Summer) Cherry Galette is no exception to that rule. It’s the perfect sweet dessert in summer when cherries are in season. There’s nothing better than a slice of a galette like this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top… accompanied by an iced coffee. The perfect combination!
We love Asian cuisine – that’s probably because we like everything a little spicier. Let’s just say that slightly »hotter« dishes are not uncommon in Asia, right?! ;) This delicious Korean Cucumber Salad (with Gochugaru) also packs a punch… if you’re not careful with the chili flakes, aka. Gochugaru. If you like it tasty and spicy, you should definitely make this recipe!
In summer, we eat salad very often. Almost every evening, to be honest. It’s simply the best dinner when the temperatures are a bit more challenging… and it tends to get quite warm in the attic where we live. Pasta salad may not necessarily be the best option here, but this Caesar Chicken Pasta Salad is an exception, because the ratio of pasta to veggies is very balanced. So is the salad healthy? Hmmm… good question. ;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 ;)
