Soy-Free

On an orange tablecloth with wheat and oat straw motifs stands a preserving jar with the lemon slices inside. Behind it is a yellow bowl with organic lemons. Around it are lemons, in the foreground a halved lemon peel and a piece of curling lemon peel.

Preserved Lemons

Preserved lemons are a classic old preservation recipe. They are not meant to be eaten pure, as they are far too salty. But in small doses, they are such an enrichment to dishes! Now that I know how good they are, I always want to […]

A plate of homemade Dubai-style chocolate truffles, coated in dark chocolate and topped with pistachio halves and chopped pistachios. The truffles are served on a golden striped plate, placed on a rich, gold-patterned tablecloth. In the background, a glass of tea in a golden holder and additional truffles on a separate plate add warmth and charm to the setting. Scattered pistachios and a decorative napkin complete the inviting scene.

Dubai Chocolate Truffles

These Dubai chocolate truffles are not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make. No need for special praline molds, just two teaspoons will do the trick. At first, I thought the Dubai-hype made another post about Dubai chocolate completely unnecessary. But I’ve been thinking […]

A slice of traditional Italian Castagnaccio on a decorative green plate, topped with pine nuts and rosemary, served with a cup of coffee on a vibrant green tablecloth adorned with chestnuts and walnuts.

Castagnaccio

Castagnaccio is a flat, firm cake that falls somewhere between fruit bread and an energy bar. It’s incredibly healthy, packed with nutritients, and makes an excellent snack -whether at the office or on the go- as a compact source of energy. Thanks to its firm […]

The snack is served on a green wooden table: a loaf of bread with créme de marrons. The bread lies on a brown plate. Behind is cup of coffee and a preserving jar with the créme de marrons. Further in the background is a flat wooden bowl with a sliced loaf of bread and a orange linen kitchen towel. Scattered around everything are fresh chestnuts in shells.

Crème de Marrons

Crème de marrons is a classic French chestnut spread that captures the essence of autumn in every spoonful. With its sweet, nutty flavor and creamy texture, crème de marrons is perfect for spreading on bread (maybe even with our chestnut bread). Chestnuts are naturally sweet, […]

A beautiful grey plate with two parasol schitzel, braised red cabbage, cucumber salad, and potatoes. Fresh parasol mushrooms are presented around the plate.

Meaty Parasol Schnitzel (Mushrooms)

A rather special recipe for all fellow mushroom foragers today: parasol mushroom schnitzel. The parasol, which gets its name from its huge, umbrella-like head, is quite common from late summer to autumn here in Europe. It is a delicious edible mushroom, and usually, if you […]

A wooden chopping board with a whole chestnut loaf lies on a green wooden table. Behind it is a green kitchen towel. A few chestnuts and walnuts are scattered around it.

Chestnut Bread

We collected chestnuts this autumn, and I felt inspired to bake my first chestnut bread. The sweet, nutty taste of chestnuts is delicious. This chestnut bread is made from cooked, finely chopped chestnuts, spelt flour, flaxseed, and walnuts. A real treat fresh from the oven […]

A pomegranate lies on a green wooden base. Behind it is a flat green leaf-shaped bowl filled with pomegranate seeds. A few seeds are scattered on the green base. Next to it is a green kitchen towel.

The Best Way to Remove Pomegranate Seeds

We like pomegranate seeds very much, but until now, I have avoided using the fruit because it always went hand in hand with a lot of cleaning. And then, weeks later, you discover red splashes somewhere and wonder how a delicious pomegranate can cause such […]

On a wooden base, there is a raffia mat on which two soup plates are placed. The plates are filled with Rose Hip Soup. Next to the plates are napkins with a floral pattern and a silver soup spoon. Rose hip twigs and rose hip fruits lie around the soup plates.

Rose Hip Soup

Rose hips embody the summer holidays to me. Especially in the late days of summer, the smell of rose hips is prominent at the North Sea costs and the first fruits are available as a little snack along the way. With the hope that a […]

In the foreground, a piece of the Hummus Hazelnut Cake is served on a plate with a silver cake fork next to it. Under the plate, you can see a patterned napkin. On the right side stands a cup of coffee with a golden pattern print. Behind is a cake serving plate with the Hummus Haselnut Cake with a silver cake server. All are placed on a table cloth with a branch pattern on it. Hazelnuts and dried chickpeas are scattered around.

Hummus Hazelnut Cake

This hummus hazelnut cake is delicious, energizing, protein-loaded, and super-healthy! I just love hummus. It is a staple in my diet – so why not introduce it to some desserts? It’s about time to create a sweet hummus cake for all the hummus lovers out […]
