Cupcakes were on a back of my head for years now. From the moment I put my eyes on this beautiful little treasures, I knew that we’ll be friends. But…it’s not an easy one to make, at least it’s what I used to think. Another thing is that just behind a corner I have a lovely store with the best cupcakes in Berlin. I buy them as a treat for me and Mr T. a bit too often.
On Thursday we went on Street Food Thursday again. While eating and hanging out with friends, someone mentioned a park in Berlin, where Thai community living in Berlin meets on weekends and makes amazing food. I came back home, googled it and made a plan to go there on Sunday. The park they were talking about is Preußenpark.
I love simple and effective recipes. What do I mean? I like when it’s easy to make, doesn’t contain too many ingredients, is delicious and looks good (my eyes like to eat as well). There is one additional element I use quite often while cooking - curiosity. I am curious about world. For the past 6 years I managed to visit many interesting and delicious places, usually Mr T. was somewhere around. There’s one thing you should know about him - he’s always hungry and I am not joking.
This is the cutest sausage ever. I found it on one of my favorite food blogs - Just One Cookbook, where Nami creates an amazing Japanese meals. She also has children and prepares their lunch boxes and I’m sure that she’s tired of me writing all the time how cool it looks. It does!
I am a sweet tooth. I’m trying to fight with my urge for sugar and cheat with healthier options. It’s not easy at all, whenever I see chocolate I feel like grabbing it. But it is possible to make something delicious and healthy. Like this apple fritters. It will be more healthy without a glaze, but come one, you can pour just a little bit, just for a taste. I found this recipe on Erin’s healthy blog - Texanerin. It is definitely too good to be healthy.
When Mr T asked me what smells so good I told him that it must come from neighbours’ apartment. He did not look disappointed, he just said that he’s curious what they’re making. I was smiling inside, because the smell was coming out of our oven and I knew that what’s inside will make him very happy. There’s something magical about cinnamon, the smell, taste and that it goes so well with so many different kinds of food. Especially with baked goods.
There are mornings so hectic that you don’t have time to make a breakfast or to eat it. There are mornings when you feel like something fast, so you grab a banana or an apple. If you know that next morning will be just like it, this is what you can do. Make a smoothie that is full of vitamins the night before, refrigerate it and drink in a morning. It’s a nice replacement for an apple of yogurt. And despise arugula, it taste great. I’ve found this recipe on The New York Times website and I believe they know their stuff. Make it, try it, love it.
I do not live in Amsterdam anymore, but I still love Dutch baby pancakes. It is easy to make, looks awesome and the way of serving is interesting. One pancake is good for two people and you can put whatever you want on it.
It’s May! Can you believe in it? One month ago it was cold, snowy and dark. Today it could not be more beautiful. It makes me very happy.
It was a small thing. We got up, took a shower, made sandwiches and a fruit water and we left. We did not go far, just downstairs. It was warm, sunny, we were sitting on our sweaters and talking.
