Ravioli and Crisp


On Saturdays, me and Marlon usually go to the Organic Market /Farmer's Market at the Karl August Platz in Charlottenburg here in Berlin. Last Saturday I wanted to get something that I'd never tried before, rhubarb. I don't know why, but my mother, who is an amazing cook, never used this veggie in the kitchen. So I was really looking forward to trying something new.

So off we went! It turned out that rhubarb is not too expensive this time of year, so bought lots of it. While passing by an Italian food stand the woman of the stand asked us if we were interested in free fresh pasta (note: we are always a bit late, the market closes at 2 pm, and we are usually there 15 min. before, so the woman was leaving).... duh... I took one bag of pasta (of course I wanted, to take more.. but modesty is the key when you get something for free....I guess..), not knowing what was inside the Ravioli, quite exciting!

So our main course was some delicious ricotta-spinach Ravioli with garlic tomato sauce, topped off with Parmesan an olive oil, it was crazy "lecker'!

For dessert I made Forest Fruit Rhubarb Crisp with yogurt. I got the recipe from Joy of Baking and it was really really good, I will definitely make this again. Only next time I will try to use less sugar, as it was a tiny bit too sweet for my taste. The rhubarb was easy to cut and that made it easy to work with. It's texture really suits the fruit. I'm a happy woman, now I know Mr. Rhubarb.

It was a great indulging weekend, too bad my pants is getting tighter, I really need to get my exercise going.. but that is another story ;)

Making Pesto





This is my first step-by-step recipe post, yeeeeyy! I love home-made pesto, it's so easy to make and so much tastier than the pesto you will find in the supermarket. 

Have a tasty weekend! What are your plans for the weekend? 

Marlon and I will probably go and visit both the Food Market and the Flea Market in the neighbourhood Friedrichshain. We also hope to catch some sun, as after this weekend, it will only get greyer and colder here in Berlin.. 

Tarte Tartin




My new oven produced a nice tarte tartin. Need to say: sometimes I'm a bit lazy when I cook. This is one of the many quick and simple things I love to make.

The pastry I used was foam/puff paste from my freezer. Mixed the slices of apple with sugar, couple drops of lemon juice and cinnamon. Buttered the griddle, placed the slices of apple on it, and covered the apple slices up with pastry. I baked it in 20 minutes (180 degrees C).
Flip it over... Et voila! Delicious and simple!

Thai Food


I'm in the Thai-food-mood today. Just had some fresh unfried springrolls, they were deliscious! To stay in this mood I looked up a recipe of Thai Chicken. Enjoy!

Simply Breakfast


Scrambled eggs never bore me. I think it is one of the best dishes to have for breakfast. On Smitten Kitchen you can find a fine recipe.  Enjoy!
