About
Welcome!!! Iīm 37 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!

Are there ever leftover cookies? Yes, when youīre taking them out of the oven a tad bit too late and theyīre like bricks! lol

My cookies werenīt burnt so I ground them very finely to use them as a base for cakes and desserts, simply mixing them with melted butter.

This dessert is made of a strawberry compote, thickened with some cornflour, the ground cookies mixed with half the weight of melted butter and some mascarpone on top, perfumed with only very little alcohol, mixed with some whipped cream and powder sugar.

Yesterday was soup-day. I had no idea what I could cook for dinner, all I knew was that it should be something light, quick and easy because there was still a lot to do at home!

I didnīt stick to the recipy for 100%. OH loves oregano with tomatoes so Iīve added some towards the end of the cooking process. I also took double the amount of carrots and needed some veg stock because the soup was too thick.

We had some toasted plain white bread along with the soup, keeping it simple.

This is defo going to my got-to-cook-that-again-list!

Merry Xmas everyone!!!

Hey all,

Iīm signed off ill with a stomach bug (how great, just before christmas!) and Iīm bored to the skull so I though an update on my blog would be nice!

Iīve recently cooked Jamieīs fish pie, the first recipy I used from his book. We totally loved it!

Sorry the photo is not that good, we just couldnīt wait to start eating so it was a quick snap lol

The original plan was to try every recipy from the book at least once, but Iīve already seen there are loads of dishes my OH wonīt like - he does eat fish, but doesnīt like seafood or meat thatīs on the bone (which I like best!). So weīll have to see about that.

Iīve set my eyes on two recipes I want to try next, the tomato soup and the pork roast with loads of vinegar and bay leaves.

Hallo everyone!

I love cake. Only problem is, whenever I fancy a slice of cake there is none and often I am waaaay too lazy to go and bake one! On the other hand, once the baking-virus takes over I could stay in the kitchen and bake cakes all day. But who would eat them?

I have read about baking in a glass-cakes more than two years ago and bought the right glasses for this kind of baking a while ago. Iīve now tried it for the first time and itīs absolutely fantastic!

You canīt bake EVERY sort of cake, of course. But there are still so many recipes that can be used, and they donīt even need any changes.

You might remember this recipy:

http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/memb … 0cake/2810

Iīve taken this recipy, replaced the lemonjuice with the juice of one orange. There was enough cake mixture for five glasses (350 ml) and I baked the cake(s) with 180°C for about 20 minutes. Thatīs the only thing, you have to check on them every now and then because the time the cakes need in the oven does of course vary to the time the cake needs as a whole.

I am taking part in a secret Santa-game soon and weīre sending off parcels. I will take this recipy again, I thought of using a bundt cake recipy that uses loads of ground hazelnuts and a recipy for a chocolate-red wine-cake, replacing the red wine with mulled wine to make it more christmassy.

Itīs only six weeks to christmas, so I better go baking!
