Pizza Weekends

This has become a regular sight these days. I have no idea why I haven’t started making my own pizza dough earlier, it’s so ridiculously easy. It all started with an innocent, but insanely delicious shaved asparagus pizza. It was so ridiculously easy to make, well except for shaving the asparagus, I facepalmed myself that [...]

I Made Banana Bread

We must alert the church elders!

No seriously, I don’t know why I put it off for so long. Yesterday I found some dark-brown bananas in the fridge and immediately thought of one thing: banana bread! Now I can hear you say that bananas that went brown in the fridge aren’t really the kind of banana [...]

Peanut Butter Granola

When the Californians visited us, they brought me something so ingenious I just had to try making it myself, after I ran all out. I’m talking about peanut butter granola. It’s so simple, yet it’s so awesome it hurts my teeth.

Good thing there’s this internet thing where you can search for recipes and stuff. Obviously [...]

Asparagus Season

Yes, it’s true. The rumors are in fact correct. Asparagus season has begun in Germany. Let the white and green asparagus madness begin. If you can get your hands on white asparagus, go buy it. I love it, and I cherish this season.

White asparagus is available throughout the old continent, but the best is without [...]

Dear Peanut Butter Sandwich

I think I’m in love with you. i’ve grown so fond of you over these last weeks. I liked you a lot before that already, but since I found the perfect bread to spread you on, it’s like we took our relationship to the next level.

You go so well with so many things, be it [...]

Frittiersalon

Being one of our regular places, the Frittiersalon used to be rather unique in our neighborhood. They were the first to make real burgers and real self-made fries (believe me, that is something special, most other “diners” (if you can even call them that) use frozen fries.

Of course, being in this neighborhood, there’s heaps of [...]

What’s In My Sink?

A while ago Hannah posted a photo of her sink, she posted another one just yesterday. It looked so artsy with all the peelings in it, so I had to try it too. My first attempt involved mostly mango peelings. In the summer I love me a good mango with my morning muesli or granola.

My Secret To A Great Béchamel Sauce

Alright, it’s not exactly a secret, but I got your attention right?

Personally I’ve found simple Béchamel sauces to be rather boring. Sure you can add some nutmeg and stuff, but to really make it a good one I’ve found three ways to improve it.

First: Add Gorgonzola. Holy crap, there’s so much taste in it, that’ll [...]

Christmas Traditions

I’ll admit it right away: I’m not a sucker for Christmas. Two years ago I was at the point where I downright hated it. I still hate the pressure to get presents. Now, I don’t mind giving away stuff, but I don’t like having to run out or skim the internets for decent presents. I [...]
