It’s been a long time since the last time I really baked, but now I’m back in the game for real! I just fancied creating something sweet and at the moment the blackberries in our garden are very ripe (and seasonal tastes better always!). As it’s super hot, I combined the blackberries with lemon to give the cake a refreshing flavour. So if you fancy a little baking-meditation I can only recommend you trying this delicious cake! … More Best Blackberry Lemon Cake

As some of you might know, I moved to The Hague for half a year this January. As I traveled here by train and had to carry all my luggage I couldn’t bring to many things. But one thing I made sure to bring was my waffle iron. That’s how much I like waffles. All my friends and family made fun of me for that.. but that’s just who I am. … More Vegan wholegrain chocolate waffles
Winter time means kale time. It must’ve been 4 or 5 years ago that I first had kale salad. It was a delight. Ever since it’s one of my favorite winter salads (next to my other two favorites – chicory salad and the good old lambs lettuce) and I’m always looking forward to it. I love to put a sweet component and a touch of color into my salads – so here you have it: kale and raddicchio rosso with cranberries and nuts. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! … More Colorful Kale Salad
I had a really big craving for mac n cheese for over to years now. I even went to the states and never managed to eat some. So a week ago I had a jar of pumpkin purée left and didn’t know what to make for dinner. Then I had the brilliant idea of making a pumpkin mac’n’cheese and it turned out so good! I mean really good. I was really surprised as I thought it might be a bit too heavy but it was just the right balance. It’s the perfect comfort food for the chilly autumn days. … More Pumpkin Mac’n’Cheese
After going to Tromsø a friend of mine and I decided to go to Oslo for a few days. It has been on my list for quite a while now and I was really happy to finally go there. We had an AirBnb in the newly built Barcode area, which meant that we were very close to the Opera. Sadly we couldn’t go see something because they had summer pause, but it’s definitely worth a visit just for the architecture. We walked around a lot but as Oslo is quite a big city we also traveled with the public transportation. It’s worth the money if you ask me. What I loved about Oslo were the parks, all the pretty coffeeshops and the lovely people. We were once walking trough a park and got randomly invited to join a picknick of a young woman with her friends and their small kids. It was such a lovely encounter and speaks for the openness of many citizens there. … More Oslo
Die deutsche Version folgt unterhalb der englischen. In collaboration with Simmentalerbier. Did you know that this blog is actually called Breakfast Stories? I removed the name some time ago, as I thought it didn’t fit as I was mainly posting cake recipes. Lately I’ve been thinking about, why I chose the title ( a) if … More The fluffiest Beer Pancakes
As August came around the plums in our garden started ripening and we had them at the market for the first time this year. Exiting times for a plum fan like me! Many of them didn’t make it into the kitchen and were devoured straight away, but luckily we had enough so that I could start experimenting with them. As it’s still quite hot here in Switzerland (and probably everywhere where it’s still summer) I went for a light combo with lemon. I do find that lemon peel makes even rather sweet cakes lighter, but I also just love their taste in general. So here it is: a juicy plum & lemon cake! … More Vegan Plum & Lemon Cake
For my mums 50th birthday she wanted us all to go on holiday together so she rented a beautiful AirBnb in Tromsø. Oh my, what a great idea that was. I immediately fell in love with the landscape and the never ending days. Literally, the sun doesn’t set far enough under the horizon so there’s no actual night. … More Tromsø
