My second attempt at making vegetable broth. This time I used less celeriac but more onions. If you follow my process you will get a very intense raw vegetable broth as side product.

This chutney was planned to be a plain apple chutney, though due to miscalculating the required ingredients I was in need of more ingredients. I decided to go with raisins and to my surprise the outcome was amazing. I still dislike the texture of the raisins, but the taste of the chutney is just delicious.

Its apple season. Time to make some apple compote. The recipe is pretty standard, nothing too special about it (yet). I would consider it a good baseline for further experiments.

This recipe is still work in progress. It already tastes great, but a bit more tweaking will make it really stand out.

This is a pretty simple sunflower seed sourdough bread that does not require a lot of steps before baking. If you prepare the dough at night (10 minutes time) you can bake it in the morning (45 minutes baking time).

This is a very simple lentils dish that once can whip out in a few minutes if you have cooked lentils ready to go. Its more a reminder to myself rather than a real recipe .

Our second jam this season has a twist. We wanted to add some acidity to the extreme sweetness of the peaches. Rather than go for the default lemon acid we decided to use pineapple instead. Not enough to actually taste it, but enough to give the jam an amazing exotic acidity.

One of my new absolute favorite pizza toppings. The intense basil flavor from the pesto, and the creaminess of the ricotta just works amazing together.

Red currant meringue cake is one of the cakes I remember dearly from my childhood. My mother usually baked it on a flat baking tray though I adapted the recipe to a small spring form to fit our needs.

Humus is a very nice side dish for a lot of oriental dishes. I still have not got a good recipe for classic humus, though I do experiment a lot with other versions. This one is a very refreshing fruity one. Its great on its own, but also distinct enough to be served in combination with traditional humus.

Shelfable Pesto
I love basil. Usually I do make basil salt to be able to enjoy it all year long. Though as I had an incredible harvest this year I decided to make basil pesto as well.

Another very simple ice cream recipe. You don’t need an ice cream machine for this, though you will need a good blender to make this work.

This is a bit of a weird one. The recipe is a mixture of curd cheese dumplings and Kaiserschmarrn. With a craving for sweet dumplings but the lack of motivation of making them I opted for something quick. Later tries showed that this recipe can be eaten with basically all topics one could imagine. Its a weird one, but one I really love making.

Halva is an amazing Turkish desert that just melts in your mouth. Its incredible easy to make and allows for a lot of flavor experimentation. This is a basic variant with cocoa and cinnamon though I have several ideas for further variants.

This dense and mild sourdough bread has a lot of sweetness to it. With a dash of lavender it really stands out from the usual bread I make though still fits for most toppings. Thanks for the inspiration Hauni.
