Kaspressknödel

Another typical austrian dish. The recipe has two variants, one for the typical fried kaspressknödel often served in soup, as well as a cooked and less fat version.

Cooking

Meat Burek

The second variant of burek I tried. This time with meat instead of spinach and feta.

Dessert

Tiramisu

My favorite italian dessert: tiramisu. Not a classical italian recipe though as I do use yogurt to down down the heaviness of it.

Fermentation

Yogurt

Making your own yogurt is super simple, does only take two ingredients and basically no time.

Fermentation

Curd Cheese

Curd cheese is a very basic ingredient in a lot of austrian dishes and desserts. It is pretty easy to make. The only real hurdle is to get liquid rennet, which you can get this in a pharmacy.

Baking Timetable Bread

Timetable - Day Off Sourdough Bread

This timetable aims to fit the process of making sourdough bread within 12 hours. Its perfect for a rainy day off work or during home office, if you can spare a few minutes during the day.

Dip

Hummus

Hummus is a middle eastern dip based on chickpeas. Depending on the seasoning it can be used as dip or spread for various meals.

Dessert

Marzipan [Potatoes]

Marzipan potatoes made from scratch. Making the marzipan yourself is very easy, better tasting and let you control how sweet you want it to be in the end.

Cooking

Kärntner Kasnudeln

Some things just cannot be translated, but they sure taste delicious. This was my favorite dish as a child and is still in my top three up to this date.

Basic introduction to baking bread. Here we will define our terminology, ratios, temperature as well as potential timetables for various breads.

Cooking

Fresh falafel made from dry chickpeas. This recipe does take some preparation time (especially without mill). You can however prepare more and freeze them, as they can be very delicious when prepared and unfrozen in the right way.

Bread

Fast Naan Bread

While indian Naan bread is usually yeast based, this version uses baking soda and powder instead. This a super fast alternative as this dough does not need any resting time and can be used right away.

Bread Baking

Rosemary Crust

My attempt of creating a rosemary salt crust for baguettes (or bread in general). This can be applied to any kind of bread and works perfectly in combination with a proofing basked.
