I wanted to make an apple tarte tatin for dessert the other day, but my husband requested an Apfelwähe, Switzerland’s beloved open-faced apple pie. This recipe is very delicious and definitely much healthier than a tarte tatin! There’s a secret layer of crushed hazelnuts at the bottom of the buttery pie crust and a delicious custardy filling is poured over the apples before baking. Get your Swiss on and give this recipe a try!
I bake bread for my family at least twice per week using my trusty Thermomix to make the dough. It’s so much cheaper and tastier than grocery store bread. This is one of my go-to breads. It yields a generous loaf, although my family almost devours it as soon as it comes out of the oven. The tender loaf, a Cookidoo recipe, is very soft with a beautifully crisp, golden crust thanks to the cast iron pot it is baked in. I prefer to use maas instead of buttermilk as I find that buttermilk is quite runny nowadays
Ok, you got me! This is definitely not diet food, but in autumn we find the most exquisite porcinis around that I simply cannot resist. Porcini & truffles are a marriage made in heaven! Just make sure you’re ready to stir the pot for about half an hour!
Kulfi is often described as traditional Indian ice cream. And it is one of THOSE ice creams you eat just ONE scoop of – just ONE MORE! This ice cream is thick and creamy filled with bursts of slightly salty pistachios. You don’t need an ice cream machine to make it. It’s literally beat, beat some more and freeze! The hardest part of this recipe is to wait util it’s frozen! If you’re a little more zhuzh (gosh I had to look the spelling up!), make the ice cream into popsicles – then people might be too shy to ask for just ONE MORE! PS I’ve started making my own condensed milk – so cheap and easy! Find the recipe on my website!
These cheese puffs are so light and airy you may be tempted to eat the whole tray by yourself! Watching them puff up in the oven is nothing short of a miracle!
Did you know that there are 150 varieties of blueberries out there? But all are edible; some are actually toxic! These blue beauties are nutrient dense superfood loaded with anti-oxidants and they even reduce levels of bad cholesterol! That is why I love feeding them to my children. They love ice cream, so making these popsicles is a sure winner with them. They feel so empowered when they can open the freezer door and help themselves to these “ice cream” lollies!
