You’ve always wanted to hide some veggies in your bakes without anyone noticing? Well, then take a look at the recipe for this delicious (Sugar-reduced) Zucchini Loaf Cake here. With this one here you can slip some vitamins into your family’s diet… and they won’t even notice. Sounds fun, right? :P
If you own a garden, you will certainly be able to harvest one or two zucchini at the moment. Provided, of course, that zucchini plants have been planted in your garden. Without that it’s going to be difficult ;) Zucchini have their peak season in July and August here in Germany, so it makes sense to do something with them when they are available from local farmers. Since I didn’t feel like baking today, I made some tasty Lentil Zucchini Pepper Fritters with a delicious Sour Cream Dip. So good!
Today I got more than one recipe for you… well, kind of. Only if you are willing to read recipes in German or know how to use Google Translator ;P Some bloggers and I created a little collection for easy recipes – all easy to prepare on a baking sheet in the oven. We call it “Fix vom Blech” here in Germany. Anyway – these Oven Veggies with Halloumi are my contribution to this little ist of delicious recipes… sorry, no cake. Again ;)
I’ve got some delicious veggie cake for you today! It does not look like a cake with vegetables? Well… might not look like one, but there are definitely veggies inside. Even though you can’t see or taste them. The zucchini in there is in disguise :P Or did you see anything suspicious in this Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread? I don’t think so… ;P
Today’s recipe did not come out of my chaotic brain. Today’s recipe is from a very sane person (unlike me) that just recently published their first book here in Germany! Yay! My favorite blogger colleague of all time – Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte has written a really nice cookbook and this Zucchini Walnut Bread is one of her many recipes in that book. So proud of her! :)
You probably have a similar experience – the internet is a great source of inspiration of any kind. Services like Pinterest are perfect to find cooking and baking recipes… apart from this blog of course ;P A few years ago I switched from cookbooks to the internet when looking for new recipes – long before this blog even existed. I stumbled across a lot of great and interesting things I eventually tried in the kitchen. This delicious Vegetable Spiral Tart is one of those internet treasures. I saw a picture of a tart like this and immediately knew – I have to try that one ;)
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 ;)
