At least once a week, I love to make waffles, crêpes, pancakes or Kaiserschmarrn. This fluffy, eggy dessert, very popular in Austria and the south of Germany, was one of the first recipes I was able to cook on my own in my mother´s kitchen. Each time I make my mother´s Kaiserschmarrn, it reminds me […]

lemon tart, bare headed
This lemon tart is the underdressed sister of the lemon meringue tart that´s offered in any boulangerie/patissierie I know. Like baguette in the bread section and croissants in the viennoiserie, la tarte fine au citron is a must bake for every boulanger (baker man) who wants to climb the heights of patissier heaven. The white swirly […]
rose & raspberry kisses
During our first weeks in Paris, the weather, with very few exceptions, has been amazing: warm, summery, all one can ask for to feel welcomed by a new city. So when my family asked for whipped cream the other day, I´m sure they had ice cream in mind. I, on the other hand, wanted something else. […]
peach & rosemary tarte Tatin
auf Deutsch: Tarte Tatin mit Pfirsisch und Rosmarin We arrived here in Paris about ten days ago, happy and exhausted. An old life left behind, a new one waiting for us, and a new house to begin with. To make new walls a home, it always helps to get things started in the kitchen. To […]

The “defeat” before his eyes, he came up with a little trick: One night, he cooked dinner, and whipped […]

deutsche Version Although I´m not exactly a fan of overly colored food, I have a special weakness for this pink tart. Given its famous provenance, the French food mekka of Lyon, it´s however not surprising at all how delicious it is. I find it more surprising that a region most famous for rich, hearty food and […]
Sunshine cake
This is a little remedy for those of you who suffer from a lack of sunlight, as I do these days. Here in Bavaria, not only is the snow back, but it came with infinite clouds that have been darkening the sky for days, not allowing a single ray of sun to come through. That´s […]
Lavender raspberry crème brûlée
deutsche Version When the morning fog has disappeared, glowing September sun bathes everything in a warm golden light. Outside in the garden, the leaves of the maple trees start to turn yellow, red and flaming orange, heralding the explosion of autumn colors that is soon to come. Evergreen plants remain stoically unimpressed with the season´s […]
