| Chocolate Earl Grey Truffles and Gelato - IMBB no. 17 |  |
Jul 30th, 2005 |
The dessert genius Clement over at the most extraordinary and puristic “à la cuisine!” chose a truly elaborate theme for this month’s IMBB: tasteTEA it is!…
| Red Currant Sorbet |  |
Jul 28th, 2005 |
The news probably came as a shock to the clusters of red currants that were parked next to our fruit plate the last 2 days. We actually had bought them to make some fine red currant & strawberry jam…
| Oven Dried Tomatoes - Really a No-Brainer |  |
Jul 24th, 2005 |
One of the more elegant/advanced enhancements to jazz up a sandwich or panino are sun or oven dried tomatoes. However, the ones you can buy are often either TOO expensive, TOO strong in taste or TOO chewy. So why not try to make them myself?
| Sweet Tidbits about Munich: Ice Cream and Vanilla |  |
Jul 21st, 2005 |
One of my absolute favorite ingredients are vanilla beans. Vanilla extract, off the shelf vanilla sugar or syntetic vanillin, no, thank you, not in my kitchen. The only problem with my culinary predilection: Vanilla beans are quite expensive!

| Moroccan Orange Melon Summer Salad |  |
Jul 9th, 2005 |
So this morning we had it again, this time however without the Grand Manier. I think it works both ways (with and without) – in any event a very refreshing and delicious fruit salad – prepared and good to go in no time.
| Nutella Banana Muffins - A wonderful metamorphosis of banana-bread |  |
Jul 5th, 2005 |
The note certainly has seen better days, but the letters were all readable and described her favorite banana bread recipe, which I have baked a couple of times in the past years, but had completely forgotten about. Hmmm. Banana bread doesn’t involve Nutella. Hmmm. But maybe it should?
| Green Day - or when poor little basil had to die |  |

I’ve been a VERY picky eater throughout my whole childhood, things finally started to loosen up when I went to university. Even today my mom loves to pull my leg about my early eating habits.
