Summer

  • Iced Coffee: lemon-licorice and gianduja-mint
    Do you agree that the best moment every summer is to lay under a tree with a cool beverage in your hand? A soft breeze gently rattles the leaves and the sun ist just the perfect amount of warm but not burning hot. Just add a good book to that ans the summer is just perfect. Though this year’s summer is a bit cooler than the last few where we live, we have come up with two different iced coffees to cool you down on a hot summer day.
  • Garlic Dip With Artichoke (and other vegetables)
    For us it is always special to add a flower to our plate. It is the same with eating artichoke. Somehow there is this magic to it. Of course an artichoke needs to come with a sauce which enhances the taste but does not cover it up too much. My (Bene’s) first encounter with artichoke… Read More »Garlic Dip With Artichoke (and other vegetables)
  • Yogurt Pancakes With Strawberrys
    Strawberries are one of the best things every year around the beginning of June. They go well with an endless variety of dishes and are one of the first sweet fruits to be ripe in the early summer. Just this year until 2 weeks ago it was rather cold and the sun was seldom seen. Bene and me were itching to get our hands on the first strawberries of this year.

    Spring

    • Rhubarb Cake With Marzipan Crumble
      Rhubarb is really not the easiest candidate when it comes to baking or cooking in our house. Often it is labeled as way to sour and never touched again. But I have always had a soft spot in my heart for this misunderstood plant. You can make me happy with a rhubarb cake like this one or just cook it with a bit of sugar and pour it on top of vanilla pudding. Bene on the other hand needed some convincing the first time we prepared rhubarb together.
    • Spaghetti-Salad
      The first warm and sunny day of the year had us getting into barbecue mode in no time. So Bene and I got our grill out and had our first outdoor dinner of the season. It is very common to have a pasta salad as a sidedish, so of course we had to make one.
