After the excesses of the last weeks (cake! bun! more cake!) I thought I’d give you a break and preach sourdough instead. Especially as it is Real Bread Week, an annual celebration of real bread run by the charity Sustain. Their aim is to get people to take their bread more seriously, either by becoming…
The last couple of days have been incredibly busy – planning for and going away for and recovering from a May bank holiday weekend has never been easy. This year, especially with a halfway promising weather forecast, we decided to go to the coast: a caravan on Hayling Island, overlooking the Isle of Wight and…
It’s rhubarb season! When I saw Vasun’s delicious rhubarb and coconut crumble on Cupcakesncurries, I knew I had to get my first fix of the season! Little did I know that it would take 3 attempts to get the cake onto this post in one piece … The tartness and acidity of the rhubarb needs to…
I got so cross at a comment in this month’s BBC Good Food magazine that I simply had to respond with a rant. Oh no, not again! some of you will think. And rightly so – after all, it’s my first time co-hosting Angie’s weekly Fiesta Friday party, and the last thing you need is…
When I stumbled over Selina’s poppyseed-filled dumplings on her delicious blog Krümelkreationen the other day, I knew I had to give them a go: lightly sweetened yeast dumplings, filled with ground poppy seeds and drowned in custard … my idea of paradise. You might have noticed that I have a soft spot for Austrian food,…
Today it’s been officially one year since my first post – 365 days of checking for comments, deciding on 176 recipes and working hard to create pictures that do justice to the dish … a steep learning curve is all I can say! It’s been a wonderful year, especially thanks to all of you who inspire me…
Just in time for my first blog anniversary I will present you with the most oxymoronic dish ever: using the leftovers of an otherwise insanely expensive dish – white asparagus – this soup makes ‘thrifty’ look positively expensive. Anyways: you had your white asparagus and you ate it. But, as you followed my instructions to keep the…
As you can imagine, I’m not a great fan of sliced bread, But please don’t dismiss my claim that there is one thing that is better than sliced bread, and that by miles, too lightly! If the whole of Germany goes insane when the first white asparagus of the season appears in the shops and…
I recently read an article about the effects of our Western love affair with quinoa, which claimed that our desperation to cut down on wheat has led to price increases in quinoa, practically making it impossible for Bolivian farmers to keep some of their produce for their own consumption. Although I really like quinoa – and wouldn’t…
Today was a real let-down in terms of Spring: strong gusts of wind carried bin lids across the garden, and the heavy rain didn’t exactly entice us to leave the house, either. In other words: a day for comfort food. Since I had been sent the gorgeous wine from Inntravel, I needed to make something…
