Spinach mango tangerine smoothie

I do not know it is for you, but this climate that changes every day makes me feel bad. In the morning it is cold, and in the afternoon and evening it is warm. These big temperature differences are not good for me...and not just for me. Many people have these days the flu. To strengthen our immune system, we should now take a lot of vitamins. And what is better than a healthy smoothie? A green smoothie. Here is one that I can recommend to you.

Guinness cake

Hi all! You can not imagine how long I wanted to post this recipe. I am sure I've baked this Guinness cake already 5 times...and each time I told myself that I need to post the recipe because the cake tastes heavenly. But please don't ask me why it took so long as I cannot answer this question. But now I managed it and the recipe for Guinness cake is now online. And this is all that it counts.

Turkey strips in cream and mushroom sauce

Last Friday I was not working, because together with a few colleagues I cooked in the Gruft. My employer organizes every year the Volunteer Day and some of us have the opportunity to participate in various social projects. I sign up every time, and until now I participated every year. This year again in the Gruft...this means to cook lunch for 180 people. This year we cooked Turkey strips in cream and mushroom sauce. Saturday I then cooked the recipe for me, and now I share it here with you.

Risotto with dried tomatoes

My dears...although I came back from my short vacation some days ago I must be honest and confess that I wasn't shopping yet . Therefore I have to cook with the ingredients I find at home in my pantry. So today I cooked risotto with dried tomatoes.

Carrot-orange soup

If you asked yourself why it was so quiet here in the last few days, here is the reason: I was on vacation for a few days. I returned home Sunday afternoon and I was very hunger. I did not have so many things in the fridge but luckily for me I've found a couple of carrots, a potato and an onion. I added a few spices, some orange juice and crème fraîche and so I cooked a delicious soup.

Beef carpaccio

Today I thought that my PC will break down. For weeks it has had problems...I cannot turn it on, it lasts for ages until it starts or all I get is a black screen. I think it is a windows problem and I need to reinstall it. Luckily I managed to turn it on today so that I can write today's post. And before it turnes off again, here's the recipe. Nothing elaborate, but very tasty: beef carpaccio.

Chocolate apple cake

Today I remembered why I prefer cooking blogs over cook books or cooking magazines. What happened? I'll tell you. I found a recipe in a magazine and wanted to bake it. I checked if I have all the ingredients and went to work. In the middle of the process I noticed that one of the ingredients was not mentioned during the description of the preparation steps. But this could not be. Well, I'm no longer a beginner, and I know where I need to use (flour in this case) this ingredient. But the magazine praises the fact that this recipe is ideal for beginners. So if I were a beginner, I would not have known where I have to use the flour...or I would have certainly left it out...and that's annoying. Then I discovered a second error...the baking temperature was not specified. Oh great! I'm not saying that the food bloggers don’t make such mistakes. But you can write a comment and inform the blogger.
