No Bake Chocolate Cornflakes Cookies
One of my favorite childhood memories are making these really easy, no bake chocolate cornflakes cookies: Yes, they are so easy, even a toddler can do them – there will probably be a mess, of course, but looking at the kitchen after I have been baking, I must admit that I haven’t changed much in…
Rustic Swiss Caramels with Pistacchios
Swiss Caramels are a classic Swiss sweet treat that are not unlike fudges in taste but crumblier and have more “melt in your mouth” texture – you usually get them at autumnfaires and they really are quite addictive. In this version I added some salted pistacchios to the caramels – if you like the combination…
Coconut macaroons with Chocolate
Do you need a sweet treat but don’t really have time? These lovely little coconut macaroons are indulgent yet simple and need less than 15 minutes of actual work. Recently, I’ve made them over and over – for a Birthday-party, a potluck, to say thank you to a co-worker – and I still can’t get…

Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Hmmm…it’s the beginning of strawberry season, and I could eat them by the bucket. Though what I really always crave for, is chocolate covered strawberries! I usually get them at food festivals or carnevals, but that isn’t an option at the time of Covid-19, so I did a trial run to come up with this…

Yes, the title says it all: Today, I made the best Hummus I have ever made in my life! I finally did it – smooth and silky with just the right touch of garlic and tahini, this Ottolenghi inspired Hummus recipe hits all the right spots! To save time, I used canned chickpeas – so…
Wild Garlic Pesto
It’s probably the weirdest start into spring one could think of – but if you still can and live near a forest I’d suggest taking a walk alone and picking some wild garlic, it surely lifted my mood! Once back home, take a deep breath – and make some pesto. And here’s the recipe for…
Caramel Sauce
Lately, I have been practicing my caramel sauce and this Swissmilk recipe variation I had the best experience with. It also is immensely variable; depending on how long you let it simmer at the end you can use it as a sauce topping on ice-cream or dessert or as a bread spread topped with banana’s…
