I admit, I'm an absolute late bloomer when it comes to cooking trends. Except maybe for cupcakes, I was there early. Otherwise, I usually do what I feel like and look for my own meals together. Often, following trends is not really mine and I'd rather do something my own. This is also a thing with mobile phones.

Imitation: No-Knead-Bread - Or: Me and the Trends

I admit, I'm an absolute late bloomer in cooking trends.

Except maybe for cupcakes, I got there early.
Otherwise I usually do what I feel like and search my dishes myself. Often, following trends is not mine, and I'd rather do something on my own.
That's a thing on mobile phones as well. It was time for a contract extension and I wanted to have a new phone with buttons that can only be used to make phone calls and text messages. Who needs smartphones or something?
Well, then things turned out differently and, thanks to my sweetheart, I got the latest from the latest, a premium-class smartphone. And what should I say? I do not want to miss it anymore for heaven's sake. Alone because of the budget book app, my recipe converter, etc., etc. On the go check emails? Sure, why not! Welcome to the mobile phone 2.0.
So you have to make me aware of trends, then I often find them pretty good and justified.

One of my Favorite blog is that of the sweet Simone: Pi mal Butter
Great, unobtrusive design, brilliant photos and unusual and special recipes. I like to use them as a suggestion, as for example for the Mediterranean vegetable menu.
Gaaanz at the beginning, when her blog was still young, there was an entry from Simone to the No-Knead-Bread. She was not the first, but her photo and her great description have so addressed me, that I had to bake exactly this bread. And what can I say, Simone, this time I really stuck to your instructions!
That's why there is no recipe from me today - Simone's recipe is great!
Das goes really well and tastes great. I have served it with antipasti and eaten roasted with salt butter. Just yummy!
It's not that I have not baked bread so far - on the contrary! I love the two Bertinet books and had a sourdough in the fridge for a long time. I've got a bunch of soda baskets and a jade brick with bullet boards and I've tried a lot of bread.
I just do not know anything like this fast-moving bread that can handle so little yeast ...
And what a pity that I have noticed this trend so late again. For that, I'm taking full advantage of it, even though it might be out for others.
Little strawberry-Charlotte

Funnily enough, last weekend I apparently had exactly the same idea as chocolate of sweet creativity. I still had a bowl of delicious strawberries, but no real idea what to make of it. That's why I searched diligently and found a great older recipe for a kind of reversed Charlotte with strawberries at lecker.de and interpreted it in my own way. For 2 Charlotte (s), soak 2 sheets of white gelatine ...

Quick leek cake

There are just days when I do not really feel like being in the kitchen forever. Either I really have to get up to study or I want to sit outside in the sun and read a book. Or I'm out all day. Sometimes it just has to go fast and I still want to eat something warm. Since I'm not a big pasta fan, noodles usually fall away and I tend to grab something like the quick tomato quiche. Today on offer: q...

Goethe's favorite: green sauce

Today I once again had a great desire for a favorite children's meal: green sauce! Once known as the "Frankfurt Green Sauce", you have to be hell-bent on using this term today unless you use the right ingredients. The term is now protected. For me, it's just "Mum's Green Sauce", so. As a native of Hessin, I grew up with Goethe's favorite food. Green sauce was also one of the first dishes I made my...
