As promised, another Schichttorte – but this time with a twist on the traditional recipe. For those of you who watched last year’s Schichttorte episode on the Great British Bake-Off, you’ll remember people commenting on the dryness of the finished cake. After all the amount of grilling, that didn’t really come as a surprise – one…
If you have an apple tree, chances are you are currently desperately offloading apples to friends and family, as well as to innocent bystanders. If you’re in such a fortunate position, steamed apples might be the answer to your apple glut: easy to make, simple to preserve, and incredibly low-maintenance to store: by sterilising the…
When Christine of Anna Antonia asked me to take part in a blogging event that required 3 bloggers to come up with a 3-course meal, I was incredibly excited – and when Christie of ASausageHasTwo joined, our theme was a no-brainer: English-Swabian fusion food. The idea o the ‘Flotter Dreier’ (a daring innuendo, I have to…
It’s been a rather quiet few days on the blog, with my new celebrity lifestyle taking its toll: marking piles of coursework, planning the final lessons of the year and getting two kids from A to B via C. I even considered buying outsized sunglasses, but then remembered that our heatwaves are as short-lived as…
With the barbecue season upon us, it’s the season to check out some salads – after all, we need to offset all that meat by eating a couple of spoonfuls of healthy stuff on the side. And this cabbage salad does just the trick: cabbage is so incredibly healthy and nutritious, especially when eaten raw.…
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…
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…
A few weeks ago I finally got round to making my first pretzels, a staple of Swabian bread baskets, the race was on to produce proper breakfast rolls. Now, I won’t lie, we don’t have rolls every morning for breakfast. But we could have, if we wanted to: every other street has an independent baker who…
Germany is well known for its beers and beer festivals, and rightly so. What’s much less well known is the fact that we produce some really great wines, too. And I am not talking Liebfraumilch here. When I came to Britain for the first time, Liebfraumilch and Blue Nun were a popular choice of wine.…
