Kräuterquark kind of resembles sour cream with chives (with more herbs). «Kräuter» in German translates to «herbs» in English. I love to combine it with roasted or cooked potatoes and with meat as a sauce (yeah, summer is back this weekend!). Plus it is great as a dip for veggies at a party!

Summer has finally arrived!! And we are always looking for desserts that are lighter and also practical to take along if you are invited or on the way to a picnic. Give this delicious moist coconut cake a try! It originates from Brasil and is called «Bôlo de Côco». And another plus: it’s gluten free!! Best is to use a bundt form for preparation.

Being an Italy fan, I really enjoy the Italian food. This time I made an Italian eggplant, tomato and cheese casserole. It’s one of my favorites and actually not really difficult to prepare. Often I even prepare as a casserole a day before serving as it gets better every time you heat it! It’s perfect as a weekday dinner, but also great when served as a side dish to a steak or a BBQ.

It was THE drink in Europe a few years ago – The Hugo. Very easy to prepare: you just need prosecco, elderflower syrup and mint leaves. And ice cubes of course. Still one of my absolute favorite drinks. With the elderflowers blooming all around, I decided to make a Hugo cake together with a close friend, whilst drinking Hugo of course. And guess what – it turned out great! A delicious and fluffy (but not dry) cake.

For this recipe I combined a variety of spices, adapting the recipe from a German cooking magazine. My trick – use the same spice mixture and spice fish or vegetables with it!
The good thing about this recipe is, that it mainly cooks for you and you can prepare the rest – or watch the match, while cooking for a bunch of hungry friends, while still being able to watch the game yourself!

As I have already mentioned, asparagus is a big thing here. For a little variation, try this recipe. It’s simple, healthy and fast to prepare, which is a big help on weekday nights (or any other night) if you are hungry and don’t feel like making a big fuss on preparing anything. The good thing is, there is no need to peel the green asparagus!

Here is another nice recipe for a brunch or afternoon snack. The recipe says it’s a bread, but its kind of a bread-cake-mix I would say. But delicious in any case…
