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
Summer time is ice-cream time! Okay, I mean anytime is a pretty nice time for ice-cream but now the craving might be a bit bigger to cool down, right?

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
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
As the weather is getting warmer my cravings are shifting towards fresh fruits and salads. But as we all know well, they don’t keep us nourished for a whole day – that’s why I like to add little bits and bobs to my salads. Mostly it’s roasted veggies, some sort of cheese or eggs. But I also love to add seeds and nuts, even though I do find them a little boring when plain. That’s why I came up with two salad toppings! I made them for my mums birthday brunch and her guests loved it! … More Salad Topping Two Ways
this weekend I finally took on the challenge to make one of those beautiful galettes I saw for months (or years?) in my Instagram feed. And it wasn’t a challenge at all – it’s so easy to make! And I bet you have all the ingredients it takes at home, as you only need flour, butter, water, salt, sugar and literally any fruit you have on hand. It almost can’t get any simpler! So if you’d like to impress someone with a fancy looking breakfast or dessert, that’s actually super easy, I’d recommend you to try a galette. My version is with elderflowers as they are all over the place at the moment and their smell is insanely delicious. Hope you enjoy it! … More Fruity Elderflower Galette (with vegan option)
