Baked Cheese Potatoes

This is a nice potatoe based side dish or snack. Perfect for a movie night.

Pasta

Usually I do not like to substitute meat but rather go for a different vegan dish instead. But vegan bolognese with soj granular does work exceptionally well. Especially if used for lasagne the taste and consistency is very close to its original counterpart.

Dessert

Fudgy Brownies

After all these years blogging I have not made brownies once. And I suppose the reason is that I just dont like them a lot. The recipe is good, though I just value other desserts more.

Spices

Miso Based Bibimbap Sauce

Bibimbap is a korian dish that combines various vegetables, with rice and some sort of protein. This sauce recipe is miso based and a good allrounder to start with.

Spices

Gyros Spice Mix

Gyros spice is something I never really used, though for the kritharaki recipe I wanted to create my own mix. Its not fully developed yet but a very good starting point for further tweaking.

Cooking

Kritharaki

A very simple and fast to prepare Kritharaki. Thanks Chrissy for the recipe.

Cooking

Fish Soup

I never ate fish soup in my life, though recently got introduced to it (thanks Otto). This is my first try, resulting of a mixture of two family recipes. For a super fancy dish I was suprised how easy and fast this could be prepared.

Dessert

Turkish Honey

I loved Turkish delight as a kid. You could by it at basically any may marked, though nowerdays you usally ony get the soft version of it. By accident I stumbled about a recipe on the internet and I just had to try it. Its actually as simple as it is unhealthy as it is dangerous for your teeth. You just have to love it.

Spices Wip

Green Curry Paste [W.I.P.]

This recipe is my personal nemesis. I had this one down to the dot, but did not wrote the recipe down. Recreating failed after multiple attempts and I did not care to even try for over two years. Still very much work in progress…

Cooking

Pad Thai Gai

First take on Pad Thai but surely not the last one. While this is a solid base I would add a few more things next time to spice it up.

Wip Dessert Baking

Cookies V2 [w.I.P.]

Work in progress. This is my second take on cookies. I played around with ingredients and while the result was good this recipe will require a few more tweeks to be outstanding.

Cooking

Pumpkin Chicken Tortilla

Pumpkin season is comming and I started it of with a very autumnal tortilla version. Pretty simple to prepare and tastes delicious.

Pizza Topping

Salmon Ricotta Pizza Topping

This toping is not for everybody, though I really do like it from time to time. Salmon, lemon and ricotta just wok so well together.

Wok Fail

Fish Wok [Fail]

This is not a recipe but a note on how not to cook fish.

Cereal

Cereal V2

This version simplifies the process of making cereal while making it a bit more fancy.

Bread

Sourdough Rolls

I tried to make sourdough rolls for quite some time now. I got some decent results, but never to a point where the effort would be justified. This recipe however is nearly as simple and easy as baking bread.

Bread Fermentation

Wheat Sourdough

This sourdough has a way milder taste than the rye counterpart I usually use for baking. It is not the best one to use for all types of breads, but for light wheat bread or pizza dough it awesome.

Pizza

Bulk Pizza Dough

I love my pizza dough recipe, though letting the doughlings rest in the fridge takes up a lot of space. To optimize the used space I tried to bulk ferment the dough and shape the doughlings a few hours before the pizza session.
