I used to be so good at baking my own bread. I had a great sourdough starter and used to bake at least once a week, for us and for friends. Then I fell completely off the waggon. And even though I mi...
By now you should have realized that I am a huge fan of hazelnuts. It’s true, whenever I buy some nuts, it’s usually hazelnuts. They are mild but at the same time very aromatic, especiall...
I’ve never had a cinnamon roll until I was in my twenties. I got to eat it at a cafeteria at the university of Oslo a couple of years ago. Norwegian cinnamon rolls are different from US-America...
After several readers asked me to do this, I translated (also changed and added some things) a German entry I wrote on this topic here. “Fat Shaming” Until recently I had never heard of t...
I wasn’t prepared for this. Or maybe I was? Last week was an average week, considering it was April and not June. We had some sun, some rain and temperatures around 15°C. But then we went outsi...
Last time I talked about expanding the blog a little bit but the truth is in order to expand the topics covered here, I also have to cut out some things. The sad thing is that I don’t have the ...
Hello dear blog, it’s me! I went on a little hiatus and I probably would have gone on blog vacation for a little longer. So much has been going on lately and I have a hard time keeping up with ...
I know, I know. I am way behind with my German Recipe Monday project. So please ignore the fact that it’s actually Tuesday. (By the way, if you have suggestions for foods you’d like to se...
My husband P loves to cook. And he is a good cook. But since I went vegan and started blogging, he rarely dares to enter the kitchen anymore. Sentences like “Wait, I have to take a picture!R...
Cookies and I don’t get along very well. Don’t misunderstand me. Of course I like to bake and eat them. But I have a really, really hard time coming up with decent cookie recipes. When I ...
Sorry, no German Recipe Monday today. The last week was busy. We will be back with a new recipe next Monday! Two months ago we visited a friend who had just moved. Before we arrived he told us he wan...
Winter finally came. Right now it’s – 15°C (5°F) outside and when we took the tram over the river today, there were many ice floes on the water. Unfortunately I didn’t have my camer...
Today I want to tell you about a new section on this blog, the German Recipe Monday! I’ve had several requests to post more German recipes and here they are. So let’s start with a Swiss o...
Sometimes I don’t know how to start a blog entry. Sometimes I don’t know what to say. Sometimes I don’t know how to translate my excitement for a new recipe into words. So let’...
Celery root schnitzel – a couple of years ago I would have run from this dish. It was one of the very few vegetarian options at our university cafeteria and I dreaded both the cafeteria and the...
Cashew cream and hummus, who doesn’t love those things? Especially when combined. I know this hardly counts as a recipe. But you should still try it, if you feel like doing what I tell you. Thi...
I admit it, I have never been an outdoor person. I mean, I like being outside. But only if the weather is right. It has to be sunny. And not too hot. Or too cold. Or too windy. Otherwise I’ll j...
Happy New Year Everyone! I hope this is going to be a healthy and happy year for everyone. Maybe one of your resolutions is to bake more muffins and share them with your family, friends, coworkers, o...
Celine Steen and Joni Marie Newman did it again. They wrote another fantastic cookbook. Their newest one is called Hearty Vegan Meals for Monster Appetites. As a tester I was able to try many recipes...
The winner of the St. Nicholas giveaway is the person who left comment number 21, Phoenix. Congratulations! P.S. Those rolls above are made from puff pastry and speculoos spread. You can find the rec...
Hello! I am glad you are still there. For obvious reasons it’s been a bit quiet on this blog. Since I didn’t have much time to comment on other people’s blogs, I wanted to find anot...
It is finally December and the stores are packed with my favourite produce: nuts, dried fruit, and oranges. I admit, I could eat a bag of dried figs and a kilogram of oranges every day. Dried figs ar...
It’s already been one month since our daughter was born. Okay, you probably know what I’m gonna say now so I better stop with the “I think she’s going to move out tomorrow!...
After the first weeks with our new family member, P. and I had dark circles under our eyes as big as pancakes! It’s not that our daughter F. is crying all night long. It’s just the usual...
While all (or most) of you have been mofoing, I worked pretty hard on my latest project. Things will probably slow down a bit on this blog as we are going to be the private cooks and maids for this ...
Strudel means whirl. It can also mean maelstrom. I always thought I’d end up in one of those if I ever tried to make strudel from scratch. Strudel dough is hard to make, I was convinced. You ha...
Muffins are still my favourite snack. They are so versatile. You can put almost everything into them and they can be breakfast or dessert. It’s not too difficult to come up with a muffin recipe...
Maybe you heard the news already. Tamasin Noyes and Celine Steen are working on a cookbook about sandwiches. And I am one of their very happy testers. When I first heard about the project I thought s...
Everything is going a bit slow these days. I have had a wonderfully easy pregnancy. No morning sickness, no puking, no gestational diabetes, no iron deficiency, not one single complaint except for so...
A couple of days ago I wanted to make a marbled cake. It was Friday and some friends were coming to stay with us. Now every time we have friends over, they have to eat cake. Not because I want to be ...
