80g butter, melted
3 eggs
1 Tbsp sugar (optional)
300 g flour (whole wheat or spelt)
320 ml milk
150 g carrots, finely grated
1 Tsp cinnamon
1/4 Tsp nutmeg, ground
1/8 Tsp cloves, ground
1/8 Tsp ginger powder
Mix everything in a medium bowl and prepare waffles in a Waffel maker according to manufacturers instructions and preference. I like my waffles soft. For older kids (and myself) I sprinkle each Waffel with confectioners sugar.
Lemons, lemons, lemons…I LOOOOOVE LEMONS!!!!
150g butter, softened
150g sugar
3 eggs
1 pack vanilla sugar
Lemon zest of 1 lemon, grated
150g all-purpous flour
1 Tsp baking powder
For the drizzle:
80g sugar
3 Tbsp lemon juice
Preheat oven to 180 °C. Beat together butter sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Beat in one egg at a time and lemon zest. Mix with flour and baking powder and spoon into a middle sized cake pan. I like gugelhupf pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Heat lemon juice and sugar in a small pot until sugar has disolved. Leave the cake in the pan (or invert it top side up inside the pan…depends on the style of pan you are using) and make small holes with a toothpick over the entire cake top. Slowly pour the lemon syrup over the cake until soaked. Let cool if possible…meaning in case you can fight off your family from the cake before it cools. 😉
There are a few recipes that ask for sweetened condensed milk. Since Nestle is the only brand in austria that offers this sweet treat I was very eager to find an alternative. Here is the amazingly easy result! We are finally self sufficient! 🙂
Makes about 550g sweetened condensed milk:
4 cups (1L) whole milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
Bring to a simmer in a large pot and cook for about 45 minutes or until reduced by half and the color turns a bit golden. Whisk occasionally. In the end the consistancy should be a bit thicker but still runny. The foam bilding on top should be scimmed of (I put it directly in my coffee…yummie!! :-)) Let cool and store in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
If you cook for a longer time the cream will become ‘dulce de lece’.
I love Indian food! The complex mixtures of spices, the heart warming flavors, the texture…but a real curry is more than just mixing in curry powder…I always had a hard time figuring out what exactly is the secret in these complex dishes. Then an Indian friend gave me a wonderfull recipe for butter chicken. After a few adaptions this is the best restaurant quality butter chicken I have ever eaten. You need a lot of different spices but it is absolutely worth it and it is really easy and quickly made! Friends keep asking me to make it again…

1,2,3… go!
Ingredients:
200 g spaghetti
200 g cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
100 g baby spinach frozen
1 small onion, finely sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely sliced
1 red chili, finely chopped
1 cube instant chicken broth
small handful of basil leaves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
50 grams pecorino cheese, grated
sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
First slice the cherry tomatoes in half and then finely slice both the onion and garlic cloves. The red chili should be finely chopped up but the basil only needs to be roughly chopped. Take a large frying pan and place the pasta on the bottom center, then arrange the onions on both sides. Add in the tomatoes, spinach, garlic, and chili to both sides of the pan and sprinkle the chopped basil atop it. Drizzle on the olive oil, shake some salt and pepper on, then add 600 ml of water.
Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. For al dente pasta, cook for approximately 9 minutes, stirring regularly with tongs. For a more well done, softer pasta cook for a minute or two longer. Remove the pan from the stove when most of the liquid has evaporated and created a yummy sauce. Add in the pecorino cheese, a little more basil if you’d like, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
