Sweet Dutch Baby

2. January 2019

This recipe was on my list for a long time so you can imagine how I jumped from joy when I got the perfect cast iron pan for it for christmas. Obviously I made Dutch Babies a few times in a row between christmas and new year. I tried a few different recipes and adapted them to my wishes. So now it’s a perfectly fluffy-but-creamy super huge pancake with a slightly caramelized and crisp bottom. It’s so much more than I could’ve wished for and I can only recommend you trying it. … More Sweet Dutch Baby

Vegan Winter Hot Chocolate

9. December 2018

When it’s cold and grey outside all I really want to do is getting cozy. And what better way to do so than with a hot chocolate in a really big mug? I’ve been making myself one every other day for the past weeks. To give this classic a little twist I put a few winter spices in the mix that’ll warm you up from the inside. So if you want to make yourself comfortable over a hot beverage today, I’ll highly recommend you trying this hot chocolate. … More Vegan Winter Hot Chocolate

Beet Crêpes aka Pink Omelettes

5. December 2018

In autumn and winter food tends to be more orange and brownish (hello there pumpkins and potatoes) but I really wanted to have some color on my plate. I saw a recipe for green spinach crêpes on the Green Kitchen Stories Blog and as I really love crêpes I thought it was a wonderful idea to color these usually brown pieces of deliciousness. Right now beets are popping up at the local farmers markets and I found them to be the perfect addition to my batter. … More Beet Crêpes aka Pink Omelettes

Homemade Peanutbuttercups (v, gf, df)

12. November 2018

A long time ago my sister introduced me to Peanutbuttercups. She brought some home from the States if I remember right and I was immediately hooked. I mean.. they’re just the perfect combination of sweet and salty, bitesized and just all around addicting. In the first few years after she introduced me to them there was no store in Switzerland that sold them but then finally it got more popular and they started showing up everywhere. I may have had a Peanutbuttercup overdose… and I definitely needed a pause after that, but then a few weeks ago I remembered them and I thought, why not make them myself? Takes so few ingredients and time and is just delicious! … More Homemade Peanutbuttercups (v, gf, df)

Pumpkin Mac’n’Cheese

1. November 2018

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

Nut Butter Three Ways

18. October 2018

This actually is the easiest recipe I’ve ever made. It only takes one ingredients and eight minutes of time. As you already know from the titel – it’s nut butter! I don’t know why it took me so long to try this but I’m so glad I finally did. Making it myself is super convenient for me, as I go trough one jar every one or two weeks. I put it on my morning porridge, in a sauce or eat it just plain. I might have nut butter addiction.. Also, I’m just really obsessed with the different brown tones of different nut butters and their texture. So pleasing to look at! … More Nut Butter Three Ways

Vegan Pomelo-Lemon Tart

31. August 2018

So we probably all know and love lemons. I almost always have one in my fridge because I use them so much. We probably also all know their sisters orange, grapefruit, lime and tangerine but I got the feeling that not so many people know pomelos. This might be because they mostly grow in Israel and South Africa. I myself got to know them when a friend of mine introduced me to them a few years ago and fell in love straight away. … More Vegan Pomelo-Lemon Tart

Vegan Plum & Lemon Cake

22. August 2018

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

Vegan Banana-Coco-Lemon Popsicles

11. August 2018

Since I was a kid I always made popsicles in the summer. Nothing too fancy, just a few ingredients that we had at home mixed together and put in the freezer. Such a simple pleasure. As I got older I started experimenting with different flavors. Recently I stumbled upon a really delicious mix that I wanted to share with you! It’s perfectly sweet and fresh at the same time. Plus the recipe only contains four ingredients. Just how I love it! … More Vegan Banana-Coco-Lemon Popsicles
