When we lived in England a few years ago we were fortunate to spend December there and get to know all the nice English baking traditions. One that we really fell in love with were Mince Meat Pies. As a vegetarian I was first really scared to try them, but once I realized that itRead more
Another month has gone by and it is time for another round of Five a Month. This will also be the last round for this year and I must say, I am so happy and thankful to have found such nice fellow bloggers to start this great challenge. So far we already had three rounds andRead more
This week we had a Christmas Party at work, so I was planning to bring some muffins along. As I got my hands on some fresh cranberries (which is hard to get here) I immediately knew that I wanted to bake some cranberry muffins. I love the tartness of these fruits and combined with someRead more
If you couldn’t resist to bake some Zimtsterne, than you probably ended up with some left-over egg yolks. Yesterday I already showed you one way to use them by making some delicious chocolate coffee spritzcookies. So in case you are not into chocolate or into coffee (than what kind of person are you anyway?) IRead more
Yesterday I showed you my beloved Zimtsterne. In this recipe you only needed some egg whites, so today I want to show you a recupie where you can use those left over egg yolks (tomorrow I will show you yet another one). I made a new version of Spritzcookies with chocolate and coffee. Maybe you remember myRead more
My most favorite Christmas cookies are by far Zimtsterne (Cinnamon Stars). The reason why I haven’t baked them last year is simply because they are quite frustrating to make. I am sorry to tell you that ugly truth, but believe me, they are worth the effort! If you love cinnamon you must try it, youRead more
One of my most favorite cookies for Christmas (and during the year) are Dutch Speculaas. I love the crispness and the spice. Ideal with a cup of tea. As Speculaas are hard to find here in Switzerland, I decided to try to make my own. Luckily last year for Christmas we were in the NetherlandsRead more
At Saint Nicholas Day it is a custom in the Netherlands to give chocolate letters with the first letter of your name. In Switzerland there are no chocolate letters to buy, I guess for whatever reason this is typically Dutch. I like this little tradition and wanted to keep it alive, so I made myRead more
As promised here I will show you now the recipe for my little Chai Cheesecakes. The recipe works perfectly to make 4 little cheesecakes (12cm) but I guess you can also make one big one. Making 4 individual ones has the advantages that everyone can have their own little cheesecake, but also that you can sprinkleRead more
It’s the first of December! 24 more days until my most favorite holiday: Christmas! Now is the season that even non-food bloggers are spending hours in the kitchen baking cookies, muffins, gingerbread, pies and cakes. To give you a little bit of inspiration I thought that I would show you my highlights from last year.Read more
