This is my first try on a chocolate cake. I decided to make the process as easy and fast as possible. Naturally this leaves space for improvements here and there. Though I would argue that, while the process is very simplistic, the result is still pretty fancy. And of course delicious.

I remember making indian garam masala meatballs during my studies, though could not remember the recipe. For this one I used a lot of spices from the korean kitchen. The meat balls are spot on, though the sauce might benefit from some more experimenting.

Pasta
Udon noodles are japanese noodles. The dough has very low hydration which makes it hard to knead and roll out per hand. Though they are pretty easy to make with a pasta machine. They are a nice side dish for curries and other asian dishes.

This creamy curry is perfect in combination with udon noodles. Note that this recipe is still work in progress. It is a solid base though it does lack character.

This is my second version of hotteok, an korean street food. While most recipes do use the same dough for sweet and salty fillings I do prefer different doughs for different fillings. As a first salty hotteok I made sauerkraut filled hotteok. Korean Austrian fusion at its finest.

Hotteok is an amazing korean street food best described as baked cinnamon buns with nuts. The filling process is kind of tedious but you get the hang of it after the first few. And it so worth the hassle!

Over the last month I tried various different ramen variations. The beef based version is my favorite so far. Especially the combination with broccoli and carrots does fit perfectly.

Pita bread was on my todo list for quite a while. As it forms one big air pocket in the middle during baking it is super easy to fill. The main goal for this project was to bake pita bread in big batches and freeze them so one can toast them up at any given time.

This is one of the unhealthiest but best cakes Ive made in a long time. The combination of lemon sugar and poppy is insanely good. Also its gluten free, in case you are in need of a gluten free dessert.

I finally managed to bake great kebap bread. Now its time to figure out the other parts. This current recipe is already pretty good, though the bar for kebap is pretty high, so there is still room for experiments.

I’m not that into burgers, though I do make them once in a while. I’m still messing around with a good patty though I finally managed to make great burger bread. The recipe is actually very simple and pretty easy to make. You do need a bit of time for two resting periods though so keep that in mind.

While this was supposed to be the base recipe for more variations to come I decided to add a hint of ginger and a bit of chili to spice it up. The result is sweet, soft, chocolaty and simply delicious.

Another very simple recipe that uses the caramelized condensed milk. The base recipe is solid though it would benefit from some additional flavor kicks to be outstanding.

It has been one year since I started this blog, or rather since I bought the domain. Yay. As I’m curious if anyone but myself does use this blog and would like to get feedback in case somebody does I set up two ways to get in touch.

Condensed milk was bad tasting milk that my grand parents would pour into their coffee. I was wrong. Self made caramelized condensed milk has nothing to do with that kind of milk. Its sweet and delicious, think melted butterscotch. Its an amazing base ingredient for a lot of sweets and desserts and I will use this in several desserts in the near future.
