It's finally Winter! One of the great things about winter, apart from snow, drinking tea and eating cookies, is those awesome Winter fruits like pomegranate. Pomegranate is such a lovely addition to salads, grains or desserts. It's not too sweet and not too sour. Just perfectly balanced, which makes it extremely versatile. Not to forget it's beautiful lush color! Those red jewels make everything so festive and special. For this recipe I've tried to enhance pomegranate's natural beauty. I've ...

Once in a while we all have our sugar cravings! Browse through my non-savory inspirations & satisfy your sweet tooth!
Healthy Zucchini Bundt Cake – perfect for any season!
Is there really such a thing as healthy cake, you ask? If there is, it definitely is this moist, fluffy Zucchini Bundt cake. Besides hiding vegetables into something sweet (which I absolutely love doing - sneaky-me ;)), this cake is made with extra-virgin olive oil! Which means lots of health benefits for you and your body. It's rich in monounsaturated fats and packed with antioxidants, which in my opinion is all I could ask for in a cake. The added walnuts and raisins or cranberries (whichever ...
Decadent Chocolate-Coconut-Cheesecake Bars
I'm often surprised how people react to vegan food. Especially to vegan treats or baked goods. It seems like we've spent so many decades basing our food creations on milk (produce) and eggs, that a lot of people are still hit by surprise when they eat a vegan treat without realizing it's vegan. And even liking it "despite" the fact that it's vegan - if you know what I mean ;). This happened when I first served these 3-layer Chocolate-Coconut-Cheesecake Bars. They are so ...
Cheesecake Brownies – gooey & moist
It’s been raining outside and my mood has been dull like the weather for the last couple of days or so. So, I thought, no excuses! Get you're a** moving, make some cheesecake brownies and shoot some pictures for the blog. Taking pictures for this page is something I seem to be having a love-and-hate relationship with. On the one hand, I enjoy being artistic (in small dozes) and there is so many food bloggers out there, which I adore because of their amazing pics. On the other hand, I ever too ...
Fluffy Coconut Blueberry Pancakes
It is said (and argued about) that breakfast is the most important meal of the day... Personally, I really enjoy breakfasting. For years I had the tradition to meet up with my friends celebrating my birthday while brunching in one of the awesome breakfast places in Vienna. (Breakfast is a big thing in Austria, esp. in Vienna). I could spend hours over a freshly brewed cup of coffee, munching away on the delicousnesses the buffet offered, chatting away with my friends. Especially dishes like ...
Baked Chocolate Mousse Tarte
As you might already know, I offer dessert to our guests twice a week. I personally have a super-heavy sweet tooth, but I usually do not care for the overly rich and heavy type of sweets. I rather dig my fork into a light and creamy fruit based dessert than into a rich chocolate cake with heavy cream. However, occasionally I have chocolate cravings as well. So I came up with this semi-sweet baked chocolate mousse tart and it's the bomb. It's super rich and I bet you won't be able to go for ...
