chocolate cake

15. February 2020
by Roxi

Lately, I baked a chocolate cake for work and since one of my coworker is gluten intolerant it had to be gluten free next to vegan. For a chocolate cake these are not very easy conditions, quickly you end up with a dense and muddy cake and not a fluffy old fashioned chocolate cake. Just […]

DIY: Sandwich wrapping

You can find them nearly in every shop now and there are many DIY videos on YouTube: Beeswax wrapping paper. The pretty alternative to the sandwich paper – does anybody use that? I always had a box for my sandwiches, since kindergarten. The good thing about the paper is, that it is space-saving and lighter […]

basil hummus

Hummus, who doesn’t like this amazing paste? Perfect substitute for butter, because way better, for sandwiches and as a dip for a party the perfect choice. The version today is part of the “lazy” category. I used the canned chickpeas to save some time and have a tasty snack during lunchtime. The basil became part […]

asparagus salad

It became a bit quiet here, mainly due to the good weather and that my PhD picked up pace. I am spending all my time in the office or I am out in the nature, exploring everything forest-like around Stockholm. There is no time for cooking or writing. But here is my new favourite recipe, […]

salty lemons

During winter I am always hungry for risotto and in the best case I would like to have it fruity to remind me of summer. The problem is, it is cold and grey outside and you cannot just get the nice summerly taste in winter times. My mum found a solution for this issue: salty […]

Glass noodles & peanut sauce

Very often I am way too lazy to cook for myself and then I normally go for pasta. This time glass noodles. Just to keep it interesting, at least a little bit, and because I wanted to reach the next level with my Asian cuisine skills, no idea if it worked – but it tasted […]

Indian Paneer

I love Indian food: the smell, the taste and the colours. Fabulous! The happier I was, when I shared a kitchen in the student housing during my Erasmus exchange with two Indian guys, who taught me really good recipes from their families. Since then it is one of my all-time favourites and I always cook […]

Moving to Stockholm

It feels like it is ages ago that I moved out and left Resi in Leipzig. I moved away from Leipzig to Stockholm. It is now Resi’s Leipzig and no longer our … I will spend the next years in Stockholm for my PhD. As exciting as it is and as much as I love […]

christmas pralines

I like to give away small presents to friends and colleagues every year before christmas. Nothing special or expensive, just a little gift. Last year it was selfmade hot chocolate, this year it is parlines or chocolate bonbon. It is only the second time I made parlines and I tried something new. Next to the […]

Stockholm Shopping

I always liked flea markets a lot. I liked to slowly walk through all the offers. Especially, the nonsense small things got my attention. I always find a small treasure, maybe something I didn’t need or wanted but when you see it you know: I will buy that. Perhaps that doesn’t fit with the idea […]
