Recipes

I’m no cooking expert, but I love trying new recipes — ideally simple and quick ones that don’t keep you in the kitchen half the day. I often bake without white flour and regular white sugar: for example the poppy seed cake or the cake with apples, strawberries and poppy seeds, which get their sweetness mainly from grated apples. In summer we have plenty of zucchini, so it turns into a chocolate bundt cake, a mug-measure gingerbread or a pizza made from just three ingredients.

On the savoury side, I mostly bake homemade bread — no-knead quark bread and spelt rolls. I’ve tried everything myself and I always tweak each recipe a little to my taste.
