Deep Dish Apple Pie

On the weekend I love to get up early and spend the morning baking. There are no distractions, my work is mostly done for the week, so it’s the perfect excuse to brew up a big mug of coffee, put some relaxing jazz on the stereo and break out the

Well, the weather may be getting colder, but in my opinion, it’s still warm enough to eat ice cream! I love making ice blocks and always have some ready to go in the freezer. Whether you know them as popsicles, ice lollies or freeze pops, the winning combination of a

Tangy Redcurrant Jelly

I have written a lot about how much I love redcurrants, those ruby coloured strands of beautiful summer berries. While I usually use them in baking, as they are so good within a Redcurrant Crumble Cake, they also make a brightly coloured and tangy Redcurrant Jelly, made with only two

The Classic Whiskey Sour

2nd August 20202nd August 2020 cocktail-hour, summer fruit

We are sweltering here in Munich with the temperature sitting in the 30s every day this week. There’s a thunderstorm due this evening which will hopefully break the humidity, but in the meantime, we are keeping cool inside with the fan on and the curtains drawn. You’d think I’d be
