| Fabulously flaky - Sherry's impromptu fruit galette |  |
Nov 17th, 2011 |

| My favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies - and how to pimp them |  |
Oct 21st, 2011 |
Chocolate Chip Cookies are a tough business, every dedicated baker has his/her own expectations and I’m no exception. I perfected mine over the years to my own liking and the moment I used brown butter was a cookie changing experience.

| Come summer, come winter - Golden crisp potato cubes |  |
Aug 11th, 2011 |
Regular readers know I am a carb lover by heart. Bread, pasta & potatoes, my lovely trio I just cannot do without you. The only thing worse than not eating potatoes?

Jul 1st, 2011 |
Midnight was approaching fast, something light and refreshing seemed to be in order: the Watermelon-Strawberry Gazpacho with baked Goat Cheese.
| Grandma Luise's bacon lettuce - A favorite from my childhood |  |

This salad is THE salad – the first salad I remember eating with pure pleasure as well as the first salad I ever requested repeatedly from my grandma Luise.
| Rice pudding popsicle with rasberries - My kind of frozen treat |  |
Jun 9th, 2011 |
They are by far the most substantial frozen treat on a stick I ever had, the rice grains add a wonderful chewy aspect to these popsicles and the addition of fruit makes this dessert completely versatile.
| Umami Butter - Your fridge is your friend |  |
May 5th, 2011 |
Instead I turned to an old favorite of mine, easy and super quick to prepare, a lifesaving staple for your fridge. This is what happens when compound butter goes umami.

| Entering year no.7 & some readers' favorites |  |

Seriously, if somebody would have told me six years ago that starting a blog had the life altering potential that it indeed has -in so many ways, too-, I would have laughed it off.
| Potatoes with herbed curd & linseed oil - An answer to all questions? |  |
Aug 3rd, 2010 |

| Welcoming dear friends - Flammkuchen with red onions |  |

| Caesar Salad - Kind of, but better |  |
Jul 6th, 2010 |
My version is everything most restaurant versions keep missing… and a bit more, I think. A finger lickin’ good dressing, tiny pieces of crisp bacon, spicy chicken with a hint of Indian flavor (ok, ok, my touch, remember: my kitchen) and soft Avocado cubes add to this classic and I wouldn’t want to miss them in my salad bowl anymore.
