As I was experimenting with a few ingredients from the pantry today, I decided to add a liitle sunflower oil and semolina. The Semolina gives it a lighter consistancy. As a result, they make for a no fuss desserts with a mild honey flavour ...you could also top with a little icecream!    What will you be baking for the holiday period? 

 For 4 small baking pots (200ml in content)

350g Flour, sieved
2 Level tablespoons of backing powder
100g Fluid honey, plus extra for the topping
2 Eggs (medium)
1 Pinch of salt
160ml Milk
40ml Sunflower oil, plus extra for greasing.
4 Heap teaspoons of mixed berries for the topping
2 Tablespoons of semolina, plus extra for lining the containers

 How to make:

1. Combine the flour, semolina and baking powder in a bowl mix. Add the honey, salt, eggs, milk and sunflower oil and hand beat for 2 minutes to form a smooth dough.
2. Grease the pots with the extra oil and scatter with semolina until well covered. Pour the batter 2/3 of the way into the pots and set the pots on a baking tray on the second row of a hot oven at 180°C. Bake for 25 minutes until springy and slightly brown.
3. Allow the pots to cool slightly on a wire rack. When raised, add a teaspoon of mixed berries and drizzle with honey.

hut-1

We couldn't have wished for anything more on this winter's day, then to come across this freshly laid snow for our photosession.  Backdroped by a cute little hut, tall pine trees and elevated at nearly 1,000 meters in the Northern Black Forest; it was no wonder that Janna & Toni went a little dotty with their play!

Flamingomushroom-1

Where does the year go? This coming weekend would be a year  since we held my photography exhibition "Food in still-life" at the delightful Culinarium restaurant and gourmet shop owned by friend Daniela Schwendemann. The vernissage was held on a cool autumn afternoon and spent with friends and customers alike; chatting eagerly with a glass of Prosecco or a mug of hot chocolate in hand. Each autumn impression were printed directly behind quality, acrylic glass in either a glossy or matt finish, uniformly mounted against the wall to give a 3D and elegant impression.

Prior to the opening, I had spent several Saturday mornings all "bright eyed and bushy tail" perusing each aisle of our local Gutenberg Platz food market. A visit to Peter's Pilz would not prove to be a let down. With the help of the vendor, we would carefully select unblemished Flamingo mushrooms who would then become my model on that same afternoon—by the end of the weekend, the mushrooms were thrown into the fry pan with a variety of the mushrooms then served with rice Asian style!
