When I think of Summer meals I think about vibrant colours, healthy greens & a sense of ease & lightness. And while a soup on first glance might not sound like the obvious choice in summer, this light & fresh curry noodle soup is a perfect dish for this time of year. When the temperatures rise outside we want to make things easy for our bodies. Having to bring food up to body temperature is actually something that has our body & digestive system working hard.

Spring
Roasted Potato Cucumber Salad
Nothing says summer better than a BBQ or picnic in the outdoors. Am I right? And this year I feel like it's especially important to get into a more relaxed, laid-back summer mode. With good food, friends and an extra dose of sunshine. Because we deserve it! It's been quite a year and a half, and it's time to take a minute, look back, take a deep breath and then - let it all go... And enjoy life a little.

Elderflower Bundt Cake
It's this time of year again. Everywhere you go bushes are blooming and the air smells sweet & flowery. It's also the time of year where I make sirup to sweeten my drinks over the next twelve months.

Asparagus & Green Pea Quiche
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.

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 ...
