The Date Loaf

Date loaf ◊ Dattelbrot

A deliciously rich feast for the palate during the holiday season  This one must be one of the quickest and healthiest recipes I’ve ever come across. It happened after a 24-hour flight to Sydney: I was with my host family and completely jet lagged. I just wanted to go to sleep, but Alicia, my host “sister”, had already organised an elaborate coffee and cake affair with all her friends. One of the dishes on the table was the heavenly date loaf. That was last year, just before Christmas and this year, with Christmas just around the corner again, I couldn’t get this bread out of my head. I’ve never really tried making it myself before, but now that I have, I’m certain it will make a frequent appearance on my dinner table.

Chocolate Cake with Beetroot

glutenfrei ◊ Nigel Slater

My ode to the beetroot:  Some of you may have noticed that I am a huge beetroot aficionado. It’s not just the stunning red bulb that got me, but also the fact that beetroot is healthy as well as extremely versatile. You can use it in classic salads, turn it into veggie crisps, add it to risotto, make soup out of it, combine it with sheep’s cheese and honey, juice it and even use it as an ingredient for an absolutely excellent chocolate cake.

Shortbread – The Christmas Spirit of Scotland

glutenfrei ◊ Ingwer

So I have a bit of a thing for the Scots. There’s Braveheart, Sean Connery (my favourite Bond), Nessie and, of course, Bruce, my host Dad in Australia. Then there’s tartan, kilts, Edinburgh and the entire wonderful, beautiful country full of lovely people and their very special language…

Krampus for St. Nicholas

Brioche-Teig ◊ Krampusse

Have you been good this year? At least some of the time? Then you’re getting a little goody-bag for St. Nicholas Day! And since “stubborn, sassy and grumpy” can be exhausting as well, the less goody-two-shoe among you will get a horde of Brioche-Krampus snacks. They’re really way too delicious to be given out as any kind of punishment but are an ideal gift for St. Nicholas and pre-Christmas celebrations. So start your ovens early…

Zola’s Viennese Brioche Striezel

Brioche ◊ glutenfrei

If there’s one thing I’ve truly missed ever since I was diagnosed with coeliac disease, it’s brioche buns, or, as they call them in the east of Austria, Striezel. Not that the shape or the terminology matter – it’s the dough. As a kid on my way to school, I stopped at the baker’s to get a fresh bun or “Milchbrötle” every morning. It tasted best slathered in butter and honey accompanied by cold cocoa. Until recently, I’ve only found one coeliac-friendly alternative to this that actually had an acceptable flavour, and that’s the gluten-free brioche croissants by Resch & Frisch. But now I’ve got one better: I asked my  lovely friend Zola, a trained pastry chef, if she wanted to take up the challenge of creating a gluten-free bun. She did. And she did! What an unbelievably delicious creation. Bow your heads, ladies and gents.

Basil Seeds – the new Basil Boom

Basil Seeds ◊ Basilikum

Basil. It has got to be one of the most popular and most widely used herbs around. Sprouting in your herb garden or balcony planter, it’ll be growing and available to use all summer. And just like parsley, chives and others, you can freeze or dry it to get through the winter. It works not just as a conventional accessory to tomatoes and mozzarella, but also as a pesto, seasoning and garnish for many Italian and other mediterranean dishes. These days, virtually no kitchen is without basil. Like Loriot would have put it: life without basil is possible, but pointless.

The Last Betonküche Dinner by Bernadette Wörndl

Batettes ◊ Bernadette Wörndl

This is an hommage to Bernadette Wörndl… and a sad goodbye to the Betonküchen! As a bit of a consolation, I’ll share with you Bernadette’s cover image recipe: Colourful Carrot Tagine with Ras el-Hanout, Millet, Celery Mash and Saffron Quince A vegetarian dinner by Bernadette Wörndl at the last Betonküche event. I just had to be there. Reason 1: The Betonküche is ending (sad face), 2. Bernadette Wörndl (she’s actually been Bernadette Salinger for a little while now) and 3. because: a vegetarian dinner (particularly when it’s made by Bernadette Wörndl).

Apple Chutney in the new SPAR HEIMAT

Apfel ◊ Apfel Chutney

Straight from the Garden of Eden: the apple  Scene 1: Eve passes an apple from the tree of knowledge to Adam. Scene 2: The Wicked Queen offers the shiny, red half of an apple to Snow White. It’s all halfsies with deadly consequences: in scene 1, it means getting thrown out of Paradise, in scene 2 it’s attempted murder of a princess by means of poison. One thing is certain: the apple is a seductive indulgence!

Poppyseed and Apple Cake

Apfel ◊ Food Photography

Poppy, poppy, oh how I love thee! Autumn and wintertime is poppyseed dessert time. Popular not just in my house, Austrian Germknödel (a type of yeast dumpling filled with poppyseed cream), poppyseed pastries, cakes, strudels, even ice cream, are everywhere. One of my latest discoveries: poppyseed yoghurt by Ja!Natürlich. I can’t believe it and have to have it! I like to indulge in my baking obsession on weekends, so I didn’t have to think long about what my recipe pick for Freizeit-Kurier was going to be: poppyseed and apple cake – perfect for a cozy Sunday afternoon! This cake also turned out to be the ideal “model” for my recent food photography session and was eaten whole immediately after having its picture taken, beautifully arranged and decorated.

As previously announced, I wanted to present you with 2 more recipes from the new Suppito cookbook, which will be published by Cadmos and feature my food photography.

Juicy Poppy Seed Tart from the new Suppito Cookbook

5-Elemente ◊ glutenfrei

Wow, the past few weeks were really exciting, yet relaxing at the same time and also very very quiet. I spent the last 14 days recharging my batteries and letting myself get inspired on a wonderful island called Iceland. I did one entire circle round the island and was open-mouthed and in awe of everything around me daily, sometimes even hourly. You will be able to read the full report (with pictures) very soon. And then came this week’s absolute highlight: I was told I had won the AMA Food Blog Award in the category “Newcomer 2014”. I could not believe it and immediately took an Icelandic horse out for a spin in order to celebrate. Here’s another piece of good news: The new Suppito cookbook, which I told you about back in the spring, will finally be published on the 20th of October – featuring my food photography!
