Tagliatelle with Chanterelle Mushrooms

Prettaly_TagliatelleChantarelle.jpg

These crazy looking mushrooms are just delicious. I have to admit – a little annoying to prepare, as you have to clean them quite a bit. Best is to brush them to remove any soil rests or, if you prepare them directly, I sneakily used water and patted them dry straight away. The problem with water is, that the mushrooms suck it up…

Oven-Roasted Vegetable Casserole

Preparing food for a bunch of people is always a little tricky. With this beautiful looking casserole, you manage to do 2 in 1, by just stacking all of the veggies. Really like this as an alternative to oven-roasted veggies that you do on a baking tray. It’s great for a BBQ outside with lots of friends, as you can prepare in advance and don’t need to remain in the kitchen until everything is ready! OR just as a side dish to a piece of meat for dinner with the family.

Mango Mozzarella Salad

A dear friend once showed me this very simple  but mouthwatering salad. With me having an obsession with mangos at the moment (or always), it’s a super fit. You can also add pomegranate seeds or avocado – whatever suits your taste buds on that day. But the pure original version is my absolute favorite. Perfect all year round, but especially in summer.

Apricot Galette

Prettaly_ApricotGalette.jpgIn summer time I can hardly ever decide which fruit or berry I want to try on the day. With this super simple cake that is prepared with minimal effort, you can decide what to fill it with on the day and can switch the next day!

Lambs Lettuce with Sesame-Seed Crusted Tomme à la Crème Cheese

These little miniature cheese packs caught my eye in the supermarket and I thought to myself – what could I prepare with these cuties? And guess what? My favorite kind of salad with creamy cheese that was liquidy inside. Very nice!

Pesto is such a great invention. It’s delicious, easy to make and can be eaten in so many ways. One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is with pasta in combination with mozzarella. Hope you like it!

Apple Crumble

IMG_0090Yummy scrummy and sooo easy! Apple Crumble is just one of the best desserts in the world. You only need a few ingredients and you are ready. We had quite some BBQ dinners lately and if you want to pre-prepare a little something sweet for afterwards, this is ideal. You can just toss it in the oven, once all the BBQ veggies from the oven for dinner are ready…plus this dessert just walks me down memory lane once again…

German Pancakes (Pfannkuchen)

Prettaly_GermanPancakes.JPG

Another lovely walk down memory lane…as children (and up to today) I adore German pancakes – they are a little different from the American version (which are much more fluffy) and also different to the French crepes, which are super thin.

You can prepare them sweet and salty – for example with a little cheese inside and / or ham. Or for the sweet version with apple sauce, a mix of cinnamon and sugar, Nutella, marmalade or my favorite with butter and sugar on top! Yum!!
