Caprese Salad

IMG_9931

Yay – the sun is out again!! But this classic tastes great all year long! A typical Italian – red, white and green – salad, which goes with just about anything. It’s simple, it’s delicious and you can serve in so many different styles. Plus ideal to keep the summer up a little longer!

If you prepare for a few people, I very much like to use cherry tomatoes and smaller sized mozzarella balls. And fresh basil of course. It looks very nice and is easy to serve.

Summer is here and the weather is super nice and hot here. But what is best to eat in these temperatures? I suggest this very easy to prepare tuna salad. Ideal to take to the swimming pool or Badi (the swimming baths around the Zurich lake) or as a light evening meal, combined with lettuce hearts (to dip!) or with Pita bread (or normal bread of course).

Red, white and blue – 4th of July is nearly here. Don’t know what to prepare yet? Here is an inspiration with the right colors! When we lived in the US, the best thing was the fireworks on the 4th of July (and that its one week before my birthday – and I still love birthdays…). I used to lay on my back and stare into the sky. The blue and golden fireworks are my favorite – up to today!!

The taste and smell of coconut always reminds me of vacation. Somewhere a little exotic…not sure about you, but if we travel anywhere, where you can get a fresh coconut to drink, I’m the first to grab it! Super refreshing and just mind-blowing delicious!
So why not combine this summer feeling with one of my favorite comfort foods?
So this was a try and I just adore it! Hope you like it too!

I first got to know this absolutely delicious spread during a dinner of a very good Austrian friend of mine. She served this as an appetizer everyone adored it! It’s typical in the «Steiermark» region of Austria.

By the way – should you have any left, it’s a perfect addition to the breakfast or brunch table! Or just prepare half of the amount for a smaller portion, just for the family.

Toffifee consist of toffee/caramel and chocolate, filled with nougat and a hazelnut…

One evening I was looking into the fridge and was deciding what to cook for the evening. I often have lambs lettuce and avocado in the house (as you might have noticed – both favorites in my kitchen) the bacon and dates caught my eye. In Germany we call dates rolled into bacon as follows: «Dates in Bacon-Coat». The combination of the salad, avocado and dates with bacon was an absolute delight! Hope you like it.
