The other day my mum said she finds pumpkin to be boring most of the time and it’s taste is too blunt for her usually. I was stunned, to be honest. I have always enjoyed pumpkin and I would have never thought that anybody would call the taste of pumpkin ‘boring’. So I got thinking about pumpkin and what I love about it. And I came to the conclusion, that the ‘boring’ impression of pumpkin some seem to have is to me a wonderful, mellow, food vehicle for any flavour I would like to make shine ...

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 ...
Beetroot soup – a pink delight!
I have a confession to make: I truly adore the beauty of nature’s colors. Especially when it comes to food... I guess this is why this bright pink beauty always puts an instant smile on my face. But its color is not the only feature that makes me smile about this soup. The earthiness of the beetroots paired with the slightly hidden spiciness of the horseradish is such a simple, but wonderful combination! ...
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 ...
Double Chocolate & Walnut Cookies
There’s always a good reason for a little treat...

These little sweet treats have the perfect size for one but they are also great for sharing. ...
The PERFECT Falafel – crispy & flavourful
So far, I’ve only made this recipe twice in my life. Twice here at the Mellowmove Surfcamp in Portugal. Both times I received the same incredibly positive feedback. Both times I heard the same sentence: „I have had many falafels in my life. And I’ve had many good falafels in my life too. But these ones are THE best I’ve ever had.“ This, of course, made my heart swell instantly. Both times, of course. And that’s the reason why I’m able to present to you, without hesitation, the PERFECT ...
