More Bread

Spelt-Wheat-Buns

I'm on the bread trip now. After some not so nice bread baking experiences, I had to prove (to myself that is) that it is possible to make really nice AND good tasting bread at home.

Butterbrote - Bread With Butter

Butterbrote (Chocolate biscuits)

These are "Easter Biscuits", specially made for Easter time. We call them in Austria "Bread with butter biscuits" as they remind of it... the black chocolate cookie base resembles the bread, the white-yellowish glaze stands for the butter and the chopped pistacchios would be the chives. Cute, innit? ;-)) .... These are the perfect chocolate biscuits!

Semmeln - Typical Austrian Bread

Zeilensemmeln with Fairtrade Mango Jam

Semmeln are a white bread, very typical for Austria, where we have it mainly for breakfast or with cold meat or cheese as a sandwich. They are the more luxurious bread for Sundays etc. in comparison to the everyday brown bread. White bread is (or was, at least at my childhood times) considered something special.

Easter Lamb

Another childhood memory now, that I'm grown up, made by myself: A sweet Easter Lamb for Easter Sunday breakfast. When I was little, my sister always said that the ass of the lamb is sooo gross and that it is soooo disgusting to eat an ass.... well, in the end I never ever ate the ass because I was really disgusted. And why did she do that?? Just to have one piece of cake more than me!!

Easter Picnic

Many many goodies for our Easter picnic in the middle of nature!

Why Love Italy?

That's why I love Italy: fresh fruit and vegetable markets everywhere!!!

Chocolate Mousse Cake

Chocolate Mousse Cake

Well, that's a PERFECT birthday cake!
I made this cake for my own birthday, and took it to the restaurant when celebrating with my friends. Out of experience, normally half a cake remains.... but with this one, even the last crumb was gone!
