Time is flying and even though Indian summer has made a strong comeback this year there are definite signs of autumn. Mushrooms, apples, grapes, and yes, plums! We didn't harvest this many this year, or lets say, a lot of plums came with a little unwanted house worm cozying up inside. But some of them luckily made it into my kitchen and into this cake. And lucky I was, cause...
Read MoreA while ago, a friend of mine made some scrumptious raspberry chocolate brownies, ever since I haven't stopped craving this combination. Quite some time ago I was testing out a recipe for a similar brownie, which starred shiro miso. As you might know by now, I am really into pairing unusual ingredients and trying out funny combinations. So today, I wanna share my love for my newest dream couple: Shiro miso and dark chocolate.
Read MoreElderflowers are a great plant to work with in the kitchen. You can use them in so many, countless ways, not just as syrup. At the moment I drink a lot of elderflower tea brewed from freshly picked blossoms, it helps when you have a cold, but it's even shown positive effects on people who suffer from hay-fever. For the cake we will use it in two, possibly three different ways.
Read MoreWriting this recipe has been long overdue. I have made this bread every week now for the last 3 weeks and I still can't get enough of it. In the beginning I was still figuring out the best composition of the sourdough, the spelt flour, the nuts and dried fruit. And even though this bread contains a lot of ingredients that will make you think 'Sweet' - it's more of a savoury kind of snack, or actually it's somewhere in the middle, which makes it perfect as an afternoon snack.
Read MoreThe idea to make a banana chocolate swirl bread recently occured to me while I was browsing through Pinterest. I saw a picture of a chocolate banana bread with peanut butter swirl (made by the inspiring german blogger Jeanny from Zucker, Zimt & Liebe). I immediately wanted to try that, however, it was Sunday and I didn't have any peanut butter in the house. So, I made this version with what I had at disposal. So easy, and it's wipped up in a couple of minutes.
Read MoreA couple of months back I shared my beetroot and chocolate cake recipe with you. Adding avocado is another way of bringing a lot of moisture and density into your chocolate cake without making it super heavy. Chocolate and Avocado is just one of those combinations I simply can't stay away from. I have also shared my avocado chocolate mousse already, which is raw.
Read MoreTwo years ago I was traveling Iceland with my partner. We packed our tent, rented a car and drove around the island for two weeks. One thing I love to do in every country I visit, is spending a LOT of time in local supermarkets, checking out local produce and just getting inspired. So when we arrived in Reykjavik and went to the supermarket to get our travel supplies I found skyr. It's thicker than yoghurt, maybe a bit comparable to German quark, yet a lot richer in taste. So when, the other day, I found skyr in my local supermarket in Berlin I was beyond thrilled!
