Rhubarb gin cocktail

My dears, the summer has finally arrived and so now we can spend the one or the other evening with good friends and a good cocktail on the balcony or in the garden. For this reason, I will show you in the next weeks a few summer drinks. The beginning makes a rhubarb gin cocktail. But you must hurry ... the rhubarb season is almost over.

Spinach-asparagus salad with quail eggs

The asparagus season is not over yet, so I still have time to share with you this recipe. I received from a co-worker very fresh asparagus and thought that I can prepare a delicious salad out of it. And this is the result.

Rhubarb-lemon-thyme tart

Actually, for today I had planned another recipe. But Tuesday I carved for something sweet, and then I remembered that I’ve seen a rhubarb-lemon-thyme tart recipe in a magazine. So I bought the needed ingredients and baked this tart. And since the rhubarb season is not over yet, I've decided to share this recipe with you. I have slightly adapted the recipe, and the result was a very delicious tart that was eaten within one day.

Asparagus cream soup

If I had waited longer until I had put the recipe for asparagus cream soup online, than the asparagus season would be over. I need to plan better my posts. I've cooked the soup 3-4 weeks ago, but somehow I posted every time another recipe. But the asparagus season is not over yet, so you can cook the soup if you want.

Maki and sushi - home made

You already know that I like rice...whether it is rice pudding of different kinds or risotto. So I did not think very long when Reishunger - a young Bremen company - has written to ask me if I want to test their products. A few days after I said yes I received the package. I also got the Introductory Box consisting of natural, jasmine, basmati, bio risotto tomato rice and bio minestrone. On my request, I also received a package of sushi rice.

Rhubarb Tiramisù

Regarding the classic Tiramisu there are quite different opinions: some people like it and some don’t. And some people don’t like it only because the cream is prepared with raw eggs. And many believe that this is not healthy. I have no problem with raw eggs...I very often have prepared Tiramisu at home but also ordered it in restaurants. But why am I telling you all this now? It's simple...because I have prepared a Tiramisu recipe that doesn’t contain eggs. Many might say that this is not a tiramisu. Yes, they may be right...but I will anyway call this recipe rhubarb tiramisu 😁

Risotto with mushrooms

I finally dared to cook risotto. For some reason I though that the preparation of risotto is quite time consuming and complicated. But I always have seen such great risotto recipes and so I decided to try it once. What would I have to lose? Nothing. And so I tried this recipe. The result? Cooking risotto is really not that hard. Yes, you have to stay a little longer next to the stove, but it is rewarding.

Quinoa chocolate cake

Here I've told you that I’ve decided to try the quinoa salad recipe, after I saw a photo on the Internet. So I bought quinoa, cooked the salad and I liked it. As I havn't used the whole quinoa, I searched for other recipes and came across a quinoa chocolate cake recipe. The curiosity was big as I couldn’t imagine how this cake would taste, and after I've made ​​a few changes to the original recipe, I baked the cake.

Pan-baked chicken

Have I ever told you that I totally like Jamie Oliver? Well, not him (I do not know him personally) but his recipes. They're always easy, fast to cook and always taste good. Why do I tell you this? Well, because today's recipe comes from him.
