Spring is in full swing and so is the array of green vegetables that you can find on farmer's markets these days. Which means my kitchen is dominated by the color green and beautiful spring flavors. Asparagus, spinach, green peas and just a hint of lemon. Have you ever made a quiche from scratch before? If you haven't, let me tell you it's one of the most rewarding things. A crispy, flaky, buttery crust that can hold almost any kind of filling. In this case the filling is a powerful ...

Strawberry White Chocolate Swiss Roll
There's something about strawberries and white chocolate that makes anything with those two ingredients irresistible to me. Maybe it's a childhood memory. Maybe it's because the lightness of the strawberries just perfectly counteracts to the heavy sweetness of white chocolate. Whatever it is, it just has me wrapped around its finger. A swiss roll, or "Biskuitroulade" we Austrians call it, is usually not the cake I make on the regular. But this strawberry white chocolate version might actually ...
Wild Garlic & Asparagus Risotto
From this first batch, collected right at the beginning of the season, I made an utterly flavorful pesto (you can find the recipe below under the risotto recipe or simply click here to head right to it). It's really simple, no fancy or overly expensive (yes, I'm looking at you pine nuts!) ingredients involved. And it's also incredible versatile, as you can see here or you could use it here instead of the regular basil pesto. For me, that's one of the most important parts in making my own sauces ...
Swirled Wild Garlic Pesto Bread (vegan)
To be honest, baking bread is something I do not do so often. But when I do it makes me truely happy. Working the dough, proofing, kneading, shapeing. All these physical tasks are just so rewarding, don't you agree? If you've never baked your own bread, I promise you, there's nothing to fear. While some recipes and doughs are a bit trickier and do need time and caring, this swirled wild garlic pesto bread is fool-proof and it needs nothing more than a bit of kneading with your regular kitchen ...
Roasted Pumpkin & Cauliflower on Whipped Feta
When I'm wandering the internet or scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest, I'm constantly amazed by the abundance of delicious looking recipes out there. I sometimes end up almost drooling all over my screen. Can you relate? And isn't it great, that we have so much goodness ready at the click of a fingertip? I still remember the times when I looked at badly photographed cook books or random pictures people snapped with their point-and-shoot camera to go with a recipe they shared. And I gotta ...
Easy Savory Porridge – vegan or not!
You've probably tried porridge, am I right? But have you ever tried savory porridge? Usually, you can always lure me in with a warm bowl of comforting creamy oats topped with some fruit, nuts and maple sirup. But once in a while I need a breakfast that's hearty and yet less heavy than the traditional savory plates. I started eating this salty version of my favorite breakfast bowl during my pregnancy when I stopped eating sugar and wheat 2 months before my due date and it became one of my go-to ...
