Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream – On the Queen of the Garden

How I adore strawberry season! I absolutely love adding this sweetest of fruits to cereal, cakes and salads – strawberries are always a winner. They don’t carry the moniker “queen of the garden” for nothing: strawberries aren’t just extremely delicious but also stunningly presentable. Despite the name, the strawberry isn’t technically a berry, but rather a so-called accessory fruit of a plant belonging to the Rosaceae family.

Refreshing Asparagus Salad

As previously announced, I’m currently shooting for the new Suppito cookbook, which will be published by Cadmos Verlag. The hot weather we’re having at the moment is making the whole affair a bit sweaty, but it’s fun and I’m getting my vitamins right on location. Like this healthy asparagus salad, which will appear in the 3rd Suppito cookbook. It’s light as a feather and incredibly refreshing. Even more so, asparagus is a powerful diuretic and provides essential minerals.

Andrea’s Almond Cake

I’ll tell you a little secret today. About 2 months ago, I received a lovely email from Andrea, the owner of the excellent Suppito. She found my blog and loved it, and could we maybe meet up. I immediately said yes, seeing that I was a huge Suppito fan and had spent an entire summer buying their delicious stews for lunch several times a week. Andrea told me that her third cookbook was due to be published in the autumn and that she wanted me to contribute the pictures.

Cider: A Message of Love

A little bird told me… no, really. No one actually told me about this amazing new cult drink, I spread my wings and discovered it myself. This might sound like paid advertisement, but I promise you, it’s not. I’m just completely in love with cider in general and with the Styrian brand Goldkehlchen in particular. It was high time for cider to get a bit of exposure over here. I used to drink it whenever I was in Scandinavia, France but also Australia – and now I’m enjoying it on my balcony after hours. But it’s also finally readily available at many bars and restaurants around Vienna.

Pancakes with Coconut Milk

The other morning, I woke up craving sweet stuff. I was thinking of poppy seed cake, a fluffy pleated pastry with raspberry jam or similar. Of course I didn’t have any of those at home. Disappointed, I sunk back into my pillow for a few more minutes, when suddenly I had a great idea. Pancakes!

Broccoli Salad with a Kick

Let’s be honest – broccoli isn’t exactly on the list of sexy vegetables. I like it and it tastes great in vegetable curries, but I’ve never found a really attractive flavour combination involving broccoli. Until last autumn!

Vegan Weeks with KochAbo & my Favourite Recipes

As many of you know, my blog is my private and KochAbo my business realm of activity. There, I create 6 new recipes every week and road test them.  Recently, I had the pleasure of cooking lots of vegan dishes with Andrea, the owner of a new vegan hotspot in Vienna called deli bluem. So KochAbo will feature vegan recipes for two whole weeks, all powered by deli bluem. More info and three great vegan recipes are coming up…

Food Photography & Styling Workshop with Meeta K. Wolff & Jeanne Horak-Druiff

No, it’s not a new Foodtastic magazine – this cover was just the result of one of my tasks at the Food Photography & Styling Workshop in Venice last weekend. How great was combining a workshop like this with a nice holiday around Italian wine country and beautiful Venice. That’s what I love about Meeta K. Wolff’s workshops – she always chooses different destinations. I had to decide between Berlin and Venice and as I had been to Berlin quite a few times but never before to Venice, I thought that would be the place to be for my next food photography workshop.

Guilt-free, Gluten-free & Vegan Brownies

Guilt-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, vegan and still tasty? Yep, it apparently exists. Before I tell you all about my wonderful trip to the Italian wine region where I attended a food photography and styling seminar, here’s a most delicious brownie recipe. The brownies have an intensive cocoa flavour and sweet potatoes (- sweet potatoes, you say?? Yes, you read that right) render them extra juicy. These delicacies taste best the next day as opposed to fresh from the oven, weirdly.

Happy Easter with Apple and Coconut Swirls

It’s time to hide some chocolate bunnies and coloured eggs in the garden – and to decorate a festive easter table with some homemade swirls! In my house, those will be apple and coconut swirls, to be exact.

Vibrant Power Salad with Quinoa, Avocado and Feta

I’ve created this recipe especially for the Bodensee Frauenlauf (Bodensee Women’s Run). I’m from the Bodensee region and a bit sporty myself, so I was very excited to contribute to this great campaign. The reason why this salad is such a great pre-activity hit with runners and other athletes of all ilk – it’s all in the ingredient composition…

Fennel Salad with Oranges and Walnuts

I admit, I’ve got a thing for fennel at the moment. I just love it, and in addition, it’s very healthy. But I promise – particularly to you fennel-haters – that this one will be the last fennel recipe for a while. I’ve collected a lot of different ideas over the last few weeks and months that I will surprise you with very soon.
