About
Welcome!!! Iīm 36 years old, living with my boyfriend and three cats about an hours drive north of Cologne. Iīve always loved cooking and baking and Iīm getting more and more experienced. What else.... I love travelling, I love trying out different food, I love going to concerts (fave band is Take That and I have no problems admitting that *lol*), reading books (preferrably archaeology or to do with food), I love doing catering (even though doing this as a job would be too stressfull me thinks!), and last but not least for now weīre MAD about coffee here! My OH is roasting his own coffee, if thatīs not mad I donīt know..... I do not share Jamieīs love for chillies, unfortunately my stomach is on war with everything that is too hot, I do react with terrible stomach pain to it! What a shame! Enjoy life, see you on the forum!

buttercream-cake with hazelnuts
Tue 23 Feb 2010GENERAL BLOG
One of my favourites, but all gone already.... 
The buttercream is very very rich so looking closely at the picture you will see that the pieces donīt have the usual size. Believe me, theyīre big enough!
Itīs heaven to eat one slice with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.....
Iīve got a couple of recipes for cakes with hazelnuts - Iīm on a nuts-trip! 
Iīve written down the recipy for this as Iīve tried something new..... you know Iīm not up to date when it comes to posting recipes on foodwise, so I better donīt tell when I want to post it! 
Blackforrest cherrycake

Itīs all Dannys and Jamies fault!
Since I saw that beautiful cake in Dannys blog I couldnīt stop thinking about it and finally I gave in and baked one myself, that was last weekend. This weekend I made a different cake, I just canīt help it.
Danny, once I donīt fit into my clothes anymore because of all the cakes we had in the meantime I hold you responsible for it!
Cooking with Roquefort
Thu 28 Jan 2010GENERAL BLOG
This is a chicken ragú with chicken breast filet, onions and sweet peppers. I decided to add a bit of roquefort and mascarpone to it and it came out well, the taste of the cheese came through but didnīt overlap anything else.

Last nights dinner - tortilla
Thu 28 Jan 2010GENERAL BLOG
Iīve got loads of potatoes and some sweet peppers here so decided to go for a tortilla. Itīs quite quick to make which was good because I wasnīt really in the mood to stand in the kitchen for ages!
I havenīt made one for quite some time and we decided we have to make that more often. Maybe a little less of it in the summer and eat it with a lovely bowl of salad.
A typical german "Hefezopf"
Mon 11 Jan 2010GENERAL BLOG
This is made of a very simple, very very slightly sweetened yeast dough. I like it best with only butter, but itīs nice with butter and jam, too.
Itīs one of the easiest recipes with yeast I know, I have added this one to the ones Iīve already collected to post on foodwise.
edit: I have now posted the recipy. I had to edit it 3 times because I chose the wrong picture first, then it didnīt upload.... ah well, first post on foodwise since october!
