Brulée Brie and Bacon wrapped dates
Reading Time: < 1 minute Happy Sunday everyone! Today you get a 2×1 offer: 2 recipes in one post. Lucky you! Although to be fair, both recipes are fairly easy, quick to make, and go together very well. Brulée brie is apparently all the rage at this very moment, or how kids are calling it…
Bunyols de vent – Mallorquin sweet puffs
Reading Time: 2 minutes In Mallorca, this time of the year we celebrate St. Ursula (21st October) or mostly known as the Virgins’ Day. The story behind is quite gruesome, involving St. Ursula and 11000 virgins’ pilgrimage to Rome through Germany, where they were killed by the huns as they didn’t accept their sexual…
Salted caramel mulled cider
Reading Time: < 1 minute Here in Germany you can hear Christmas around the corner (I won’t mention the fact that all the stores carry the typical seasonal crap since already weeks ago…). It’s beautifully autumnal right now, the yellow and red leaves are scattered everywhere and it just feels so cozy that all I…
Fruit & nut chocolates
Reading Time: < 1 minute As you may already know, I’m part british (although many people can’t tell due to my mish-mash of an accent) which automatically makes me a Cadbury lover. And it is no secret that my all-time favourite chocolate is their Fruit & Nut – followed closely by Toblerone, because who better…
Curry butternut squash soup
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve always loved pumpkin, likely because it used to be kind of exotic where I grew up (obviously nowadays is a different story). It’s always fascinated me how there can be so many different types, and their colour and shapes are simply the epitome of autumn. And when I moved…
Basic caramel sauce – with candy thermometer
Reading Time: 2 minutes Here is another wonderful recipe perfect for Autumn – although let’s face it, caramel is wonderful anytime of the year!-. It was only a few years ago that I first tried making caramel. The first batch without a candy thermometer must have been beginners luck, because it turned out absolutely…
Stuffed butternut squash
Reading Time: 2 minutes Autumn is here! And with it, fallen leaves, rainy days, shorter day-light hours, and EVERYTHING PUMPKIN! I’ve always had such a fascination with pumpkins and squashes, since they didn’t use to be that common where I grew up. As a matter of fact, I remember carving melons for Halloween instead,…
Chicken mayonnaise
Reading Time: 2 minutes Another family treasure: the chicken mayonnaise or leftover mayonnaise. Or the how-to-make-leftovers-into-another-meal base recipe. My dad used to make this a lot when I was little, and before him my grandmother, and before that my great grandmother. This is another one of those recipes that I’ve taken over by…
Homemade mayonnaise
Reading Time: 3 minutes Mayonnaise, I find that there’s nothing like it – if it’s self made. For me, homemade mayonnaise is a comfort food. One of those things that I could always count on either my grandmother or my mum to be able to whip up in no time. I was passed on…
