Raspberry Tiramisu

Whenever I’m invited and asked to bring something, I make this Raspberry Tiramisu (a family recipe that has to be there on every birthday). Everyone loves it and it’s really easy to make! 200% guarantee of success

Pastry Classics: Cheesecake

I love cheesecakes! Surprisingly, I have not baked one myself until recently, being caught in prejudices about the difficulty of the process. However, I have overcome my doubts and have found a recipe which I would like to share with you

 

 

 

 

 

Autumn Culinary Treat: Boletus Soup

There is nothing better for a cold autumn day than a bowl of soup for lunch or dinner. One of my favorite soups of the season is boletus soup (Steinpilzsuppe). You might have seen these fancy mushrooms: there are many recipes in which they play a key-role (such as Steinpilzrisotto, sauces or pies). The recipe I am about to share with you is somewhat different from a classical cream-soup, but it’s easy to make and worth trying.

Raisin Cake – Simple Classics

This cake has always been one of my favorites. It’s a Russian recipe from Soviet times, when one did not have fancy ingredients like vanilla paste but things tasted good nevertheless   Here is the recipe, authentic but with a modern touch…

Spring a la suisse – Carrot Cake

Spring has come! Finally one can enjoy sunny days and warm evenings, as well as switch to light mode in practically everything!   Carrot cake from canton Aargau  is just the right one for the season.

Italian Delight – Tiramisu

One of my favorite desserts is Tiramisu – it’s easy to make and it always works! Surely, there are many ready-made versions of it in shops, but somehow self-made is just better! Here is what you will need…

 

 

 

 

 

 

YYY – YummY FridaY: Apple Chips

I don’t have much time at all… like most of you at the moment I guess. Papers, presentations and exams are stealing all my time from me. That’s why this post is ultra-short. And the recipe is one for a healthy snack which is easy as hell: Apple Chips.

YYY – YummY FridaY: Marshmallow Hot Chocolate

TGIF – sadly, this credo is incompatible with a serious university life most of the time. Weekends are not the beautiful “no-brainer, doing nothing, hanging around in sweat pants”-kind of days for us students. Normally, weekends equal hours upon hours of hard-working, grand thinking, lengthy reading and ingenious writing (OK, I’d better admit that I am prone to exaggerate right now!). Notoriously studious human beings might even replace TGIF with TGIS (aka Thank God It’s Sunday). I already told you that I am an exaggerating kind of person, right?

YYY- YummY FridaY: Halloween Special

Halloween is drawing nearer and so are the many parties or “horror-nights” organised by friends, family or oneself. Spooky costumes, the creepy atmosphere, the bloody movies – all of these things are quite quickly organised and prepared. The question that remains is the one about food.

Just like you might have been wondering what to cook and serve on ‘all hallow’s eve’, I have been wondering about what recipe to present you this time. A soup again? Sweet cupcakes (again)? Party food or a real three course menu? I couldn’t decide… So what I’m going to do is simply presenting you a smallish range of different things all of them related with Halloween – and some of them uncannily lovely!

Pumpkin Soup for Halloween

Winter is coming near and we are all looking for something warm and tasty to cheer us up in these cold days. A couple of years ago I discovered pumpkin cream soup – I tried it first in a restaurant and fell in love with it instantly! Since then it’s been my favorite autumn dish and I will be happy to share the recipe with you.
