Raspberry Bundt Cake
Having (finally!) received some pretty, pretty silicone shapes from eboutic , I decided last night I needed to give them a try. I had a new bundt cake pan, two little flower shaped molds a spatula and some chocolate molds. Since I had a recipe in mind for a long time, a raspberry and almond [...]
Romanian lunch…
Now I have no idea if this is traditional to my country or not, but I know I’ve never eaten something similar anywhere else. So I say it’s Romanian. I need to apologize for the picture. In no way does it do justice to the taste and creaminess and yumminess of the food. But we [...]
Home reminder…
Well, to be honest I’ve never really missed much of the Romanian food. More often than not, I find it too heavy, too much pork, too much fat, not flavourful enough. Oh well, that is me. Most people I know love Romanian food. However, there are a few dishes I just love and craved every [...]
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and Cherry Pies
Well, I finally got to see The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and I thought I should make something to nibble on, you know, worth of the occasion. These mini cherry pies were supposed to have that magic feeling, so I cut some snowflakes (given the lack of star shaped cookie cutters) out of the dough to make [...]
Bare with me…
Yes, I’ve been a terrible blogger. Yes, I’ve been doing a lot this summer but that’s not really an excuse. And the blog is about to become a new, culinary oriented one, since when I looked through its pages I realised, well, that it’s a blog about food, with little bits about other stuff in [...]
“What’s in the Fridge” Pasta
(by popular demand ) Well, I think the title sums up rather well what this dish is about: pasta with uhm, whatever you’ve got left in the fridge, that will make the most amazing yummy sauce. Tadaaaah Anyway, from the top, you will need: about 10 mushrooms, 1 little pot of crème fraîche, 1-2 bell [...]
La Fondue :)
Or melted cheese with bread. I have come to know that Swiss people don’t really like to cook for hours in the kitchen. And I think they are right. Why would you spend all your time cooking, when you can have a glass of wine on the balcony? I mean, it’s quite cold now, but [...]
The Day I Ate a Green “Gateau”…
…also known as carac. Despite its ‘interesting’ appearance, it is in fact quite yummy, with a nice, rich chocolate filling. The green top doesn’t have any flavour, just fondant with food colouring in it. Yummy, I may say, and I will have to try it again, maybe from a patisserie, since this one was from [...]
Easy, peasy, breezy, cheesy lunch
Well, since school here is an absolute nightmare, with more work that throughout the 3 bachelor years (or so it seems to me) I haven’t really had the time to cook very complex recipes. Usually when I arrive home I am already starving and my better half is staring into my eyes like a hungry [...]
Shortbread…yummy I presume :)
Last night I went to see some friends who made a nice, yummy traditional dutch meal that I don’t remember the name (sorry, I know I heard it a billion times) with mashed potatoes, salad and bacon and I thought I should bring some desert. You know me, I love baking, and I love sharing [...]
