    HI, NICE TO MEET YOU!

    I’m Julia and I have a big obsession with food! I love haute cuisine but I also love burgers and especially all things sweet :-)

     

    My blog reflects all the thing I crave: sometimes healthy, sometimes not-so-healthy but definitely delicious!

    Julia-and-PeterI started this blog together with my husband Peter. He is a great cook and introduced me to many of my most loved foods like avocados and coriander. In my opinion, he’s the better cook in our home (I might be the better baker :-) ) but we make a good team and share the same philosophy in the kitchen!

    Weeknight dinners have to be quick and easy but always tasty for us. But on the weekend, we love to make a feast and cook extravagantly. Because you know: Calories don’t count on the weekend!

    Most people at our age will go out to party on the weekend, we love to spend our time in the kitchen. The big advantage is that we can invest the money we save in food and kitchen appliances :-)

    We started this blog to share our love for food!

      Just made a batch of your pfeffernusse. Great recipe! Not quite as spicy as I remember from my childhood, so next time I’ll increase the spices a bit. A possibly useful hint: when I removed the dough from the fridge, it was too hard to work. I chopped it into big chunks and ran them in the Kitchen Aid on low speed. Voila: malleable dough, easily made into little balls.

      I tried your Obatzda recipe. It came out really well, and my wife, a German, was really happy with it, thank you. My wife does not cook, so she unfortunately does not know the recipes and ingredients from home, so I have to ask you. Do you know if the Laughing Cow Swiss would be used in Germany/Austria, or if it is a substitute for something not so readily available here, such as maybe Quark which I have seen in some recipes? I tried your recipe first!!

        Yes, the German version of “Laughing Cow Cheese” (called Schmelzkaese) is often used in Obatzda recipes, it makes it creamier and easier to spread. Some recipes (especially when you buy Obatzda at “Cheese Stores”) use a mixture of many different kinds of cheese depending on what they have on hand. I’ve never seen Quark used in traditional recipes, but it is sometimes used to make a lighter version with fewer calories. Hope this helps, Danny!

        The recipe is correct. The bananas, egg, and melted butter add enough moisture.

          Yes, you can freeze the lemon cake. I recommend slicing it so you can defrost individual slices.
