Every sad person on Earth should have a beloved one who makes him such fluffy apricot dumplings like the ones of my grandmother. The secret of the dumplings is that she roasts some breadcrumbs with quite a bit of sugar and butter, before the dumplings are rolled in them and are served when still fresh and […]
My grandma’s Apple Pie – Imagine a feeling of pure comfort and sweet coziness! That’s how it tastes, especially when the pie comes directly out of the oven, when the cake base is really crisp and the apple filling still warm… This apple pie was crowned at the last family celebration to be the best cake of my grandma (although her Sachertorte tastes […]
The summer holidays are here! To celebrate the day I’ve got an ice cream for you, to be more specific, it’s a cream cheese ice cream with raspberries.

Sugared Pancakes aka “Kaiserschmarrn” is a very classic and sweet Austrian dish, wich is not only eaten as dessert, but also for lunch and dinner (or any other time of the day). It’s sort of a fluffy thick pancake which is all “messed up” in the pan and typically served with plum compote or applesauce and […]
Austrian cuisine needs breadcrumbs for almost every meal. To make them at home has many advantages, but also disadvantages. Benefits of homemade breadcrumbs: A good conscience (no waste of old rolls anymore!) For the health conscious ones: wholemeal breadcrumbs! (at least worth a try) Disadvantages: Crumbs everywhere!
