Pimpin' an old favorite
delicious days dailyGetting the taste of your very first [almost] flourless chocolate cake, there’s no way back. It is a regular on our table, my friend Kristin serves it (with even more butter ) in her coffee bar next door and my grandpa’s girlfriend who is in her 80s fell for the recipe, too.

A little piece of wood
delicious days dailyWith a little parcel from Rome arriving earlier this year (thanks to my dear friend Hande) came a perhaps inconspicuous but nevertheless very useful tool, it has become indispensable in my kitchen and I use it – I kid you not – almost once every week. Know it? Have it? Use it? What for?
Sunday finds
delicious days dailyMunich readers may be able to guess where I spent all Sunday morning… …picking up some beautiful kitchenware.
Just when you thought you knew everything about baked potatoes
