Christmas
A few weeks ago I made macarons for the first time ever. I was blown away by how much easier they were to make than I expected. For some reason I just had this instinctive fear of making them, but it proved to be unfounded. Other than the fact that it’s sort of annoying … Read more
Here it is. Finally, the fudge I’ve been talking about since December. The recipe I’ve been tweaking and perfecting all winter. I wanted a fudge that was creamy and soft, but still stayed in nice solid squares. Now I bring it to you in all it’s creamy, rich, chocolatey glory. So if you see a family … Read more
Hey, everybody. Long time no see. I know I disappeared at an inconvenient time just as your Christmas baking was beginning, but I do have an excuse! My sister was visiting all the way from the USA. Since she’s my favorite cooking and baking buddy, I actually had thought we might make a few posts … Read more

If there’s one thing that I love as much as sweet potatoes (or dare I say… even more??) it’s cranberries. That’s why I am totally stealing this old post of mine from 2011 and remaking it. Partly also because those pictures were horrid and partly because I wanted to try them out gluten free because … Read more

Christmas time is the time I find myself pining away for our old life in Berlin the most. Why? Christmas markets. I introduced you the “Weihnachtsmarkt” (aka Christmas Market) in this post last year where I shared with you a recipe for Christmas market “Glühwein” (mulled wine).
