Mushroom soup
Merry Christmas! Since yesterday in my kitchen reigns good known chaos again. The smells intersperse with each other, the sweet smell of the chocolate and gingerbreads and onions, mulled wine, fresh parsley and other spices. The sounds of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker coming from the living room round the christmassy atmosphere in my house. It’s time to…

Christmas pâté not only for vegan!
It is 4 days until christmas. The gingerbread cookies are already gone, the christmas tree stands tall and shiny. And I slowly check the content of the cupboards, so as not to be unpleasantly surprised when I’m in the middle of cooking for the christmas feast. It is also time to check if any of…

Christmas gift ideas from the kitchen
It’s about week before christmas. It’s the highest time to be ready with christmas cards and presents, if you want to avoid the christmas rush in shops. But I know from experience that the question what to get someone can be difficult. But have you tried giving someone something self made?

Busy day? An idea for a quick dinner with a plum!
Some days can be pretty busy. Everyday life, appointments without end. And the feeling that the day lasts much longer than usual. The sun going down at 4pm isn’t really helping either. For those days I suggest the next recipe. It is very quick and easy to make. It can be also a life saver…

Something for the christmas menu? Try this meatloaf!
So the holidays are radpidly approaching. It’s slowly time to start ordering gifts or doing the gift shopping personally, to be sure to get everything on time. And it’s also time to start thinking about the menu! For those spending christmas with parents and the whole family it’s maybe not that stressful. You know, mothers…

First christmas cookies!
So the christmas spirit got also to me. Boxes with christmas decoration are already brought from the basement, I saw first christmas movie this year and the appartment also slowly looks more festive. Admittedly we stil hunt for the perfect tree, but that also should be solved soon.

Veggie casserole!
I’m probably late again. Can’t really say why, but the first Advent caught me without the tree or any christmas decorations whatsoever. I have a feeling I’m the only one not talking about christmas yet. To my defence I can say I’ve been to the christmas market. Actually 4, but since in Munich every city…

Cream puffs!
When I was little, my parents used to take me and my siblings to a little bakery on the outskirts of the city to buy sweets. Usually donuts and cream puffs. It was like little Christmas, no matter the season. It was a small family run bakery, behind the house, and mostly open from the…

Something for the winter? Why not try this beef and potatoes ragout!
After very warm begining of November, cold is finally aproaching. No surprise there since eventually it had to come. Listening to weather forecast also helps being prepared. Woollen socks and sweaters became my best friends again, especially during those long evenings when I can just sit and enjoy a good book, or challenge my boyfriend…

Cauliflower soup
Is there a vegetable you don’t like? I’m pretty sure everyone has. For me it was a cauliflower. Maybe it was the way my parents usually prepared it, cooked and sprinkled with bread crumbs. Or maybe it was just the taste. Whatever it was, it was probably the reason why I avoided it in my…
