Simple apple muffins
The star of today’s post is, as you could probably guess, an apple. I don’t think there is any other fruit that can be used in so many ways. You can enjoy it raw, in cakes, marmalades, salads, juices, soups, pancakes, wine- you name it. The thing I like most about apples, aside of the…

Couscous salad and a picnic
I have been meaning to do this post for a while now. For once, because ever since I tried couscous I actually fell in love with it. Now it is one of those things you can always find in my cupboard, along with all the ingredients to make it to a salad. Best thing about…

Simple apple tart
You know, there are times when I like to bake cakes, just because. Not that I need any extra motivation, or sugar, or even event. It is just for fun or to try something new. Sometimes that would also be a good opportunity to use up some wrinkled apples or other fruit that does not…

Easy cherry and almond sheet cake
You know, as much as I’d like it to be true, baking is not my forte. I mean, there are times when everything goes perfect and you bake the cake you wanted all along. Other times the reality kicks in, proving that, well, a little bit more practice is needed. And nothing wrong with that.…

Keema matar and homemade flatbread
You know, the last few weeks have been packed with new challenges and I had to cut down on my cooking letting Philipp be the chef cook for that time. So over the weekend when it felt just long enough for me to stay out of the kitchen, I took over. And it felt so…

Sunday dinner: pork tenderloin with herb crust
It’s Sunday, the sky is blue and normally we would be up and going towards the mountains for a hike or just a cruise through the little villages and country roads. But not today. My brother paid us a very welcome but surprise visit so during his short stay we tried to show him what…
