Cabbage spätzle is a really simple but delicious austrian meal. For my version I’m using brussels sprouts instead of cabbage, though that is optional. Use whatever you have at hand.

Shelfable Pesto
Wild garlic pesto makes a very easy and fast pasta dish. I played around with a recipe the last years, though never wrote it down. The current recipe is a good base, though not totally what I want it to bee. As wild garlic is pretty much seasonal Ill most likely will try another batch next year.

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.

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 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.

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.
