I got nothin’ sweet today. I am sorry if you expected a sweet bake or dessert ;) I can offer you a nice savory tart with zucchini, onions, chorizo and some delicious cheese instead. Something to warm you up when the weather is getting colder and nasty(er) – something nice to serve to your guests and make them happy… what do you think?
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?
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
Did you know it’s “International Picnic Day”?! Oh yes – that’s a thing ;) So let’s grab some food and find a nice place outside to enjoy the sun and fresh air, shall we?! I made some delicious Empanadas with Chimichurri Sauce – enough to feed a football team! That should be a nice snack for our picnic…
I don’t know if you’ve experienced this kind of feeling… or better said urge ;) The urge for lemons, oranges and everything citrus when the weather is bad and when it’s cold outside. There are days where I think “I need vitamins immediately – is there a lemon somewhere so I can have a bite?!” ;) Well… fortunately, there are ways to avoid this kind of weird behavior. Just make this Tarte au Citron Meringuèe and all is fine! Let me show you how to make it (with a little help of my friend aka. the Retro Ribbon Red handheld mixer from Russell Hobbs).
A month passed by already since Andrea and I made our last “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise”. Fascinating how time flies. Especially in summer. Seems those get shorter every year :P Anyway. The month passed and it’s time for a new topic – you know the drill. This time we agreed on making “a tart with fruits or something like that”. Not very specific :P I guess this time we won’t have very similar recipes. Well… I made a gluten-free Coconut Pudding Tart with Fruits and Berries. 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 ;)
