2026-04-23T00:00:00.001+02:00

This aromatic bread gets its distinctive flavour from the addition of finely chopped wild garlic, which not only adds a fantastic, mild, and sweet garlicky flavour to the loaf, but it is also a nutrient-dense "superfood" with numerous health benefits. With spelt flour, milk and Parmigiano Reggiano, it turns out wonderfully hearty and moist. Best of all: it requires no yeast at all and can be mixed together with baking powder in just a few minutes. Whether for breakfast, as a side dish for a barbecue, or simply spread with butter – this quick bread is a real treat for all wild garlic fans!

Turn humble cherry radishes into a deliciously mellow, flavourful side dish with this easy, vibrant and well-spiced radish recipe from Olive Magazine. They pair beautifully with a tangy, salty preserved lemon yoghurt dressing for a perfect weeknight meal with meat or fish.

Millet Bread

2026-04-21T00:00:00.001+02:00

This light millet bread is wonderfully moist and fluffy thanks to the use of milk and honey. In addition to the mineral-rich and easy-to-digest millet, which will be cooked beforehand, I also used both spelt flour and regular wheat flour for the dough, but you can use either just wheat or spelt. Perfect for sandwich or a delicious breakfast with homemade jam or cheese.

Pistachio and Olive Stuffed Pork Belly

2026-04-20T00:00:00.003+02:00

Add some flair to your next Sunndy family meal with this succulent and crispy pork belly stuffed with toasted pistachios, green olives and herbs. Paired with soft, sweet apple and fennel for a well-rounded meal and it's a sure-fire winner for any special occasion. Add other vegetables (onions, mushrooms, squash and tomtoes) to the fennels and use pears or quince instead of apples if you like. Next time I will cut down the fennel seeds to 1 teaspoon or even leave it out completely and season the pork skin just with sea salt.

Vinegar Chicken with Parmesan Anchovy Crust

2026-04-18T00:00:00.001+02:00

Millet Falafel

2026-04-17T00:00:00.001+02:00

Everyone knows them, everyone loves them. Falafels have been an integral part of the fast food and street food scene for years. No wonder, since these little chickpea balls are little taste sensations in countless Arabic and Levantine cuisines. They are available in a wide variety of styles, seasoned with different spices and herbs and tucked either in pita pockets or with served as a starter with a salad and yoghurt or tahini dip.
These falafels with millet are ultra-crispy on the outside and juicy and soft on the inside. It is precisely this contrast and their aroma that make them so delicious. Serve them with your favourite yoghurt dressing or over some sweet potato mash for a more satisfying lunch. Deep-frying proves the best option to get the crispest and most authentic falafels, but I know frying in tallow isn't for everyone, so alternatively, spray the falafels with some olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes at 200C/400F.

Baked with dark malt beer	Baked with water

Hearty, flavourful, with a hint of natural sweetness from grated carrots and a crispy crust, this flaxseed bread is packed with loads of fiber-rich organic brown flaxseeds, tasty and something you can really enjoy and feel good about it. The bread turned out deep golden and nutty with a moist and tender crumb - simply perfect for your breakfast, afternoon sandwich, or a hearty midnight smear of nut butter. I baked the bread with both German dark malt beer and water, but you certainly can use other types of beer or a mix of beer and water.

Chicken Cracklings

2026-04-09T00:00:00.001+02:00

These crispy, zero-carb, keto-friendly chicken cracklings taste delicious on their own or as a starter with delicious dips and sauces. You can also use chicken cracklings to add some crunch to a salad or soup. They are incredibly easy to make, either in an air fryer or oven. Both work pretty well, but I personally preferred the air fryer. Make sure to save the rendered fat, aka schmatlz, for later cooking.

Wild Garlic Buns

2026-04-08T00:00:00.006+02:00

Nothing says spring quite like that unmistakable scent of Bärlauch or bear leek in English, aka wild garlic or ramson, in the woods! According to folklore, when bears break hibernation, they will gorge themselves on wild garlic to help detoxify their bodies and regain their strength. In this wild garlic bread, I’ve combined it with a moist yeast dough. Crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside – that’s exactly how bread should taste. The wonderful aroma when the bread comes fresh out of the oven is simply amazing.

Bärlauch-Franzbrötchen – Wild Garlic Franzbrötchen

2026-04-07T00:00:00.001+02:00

Franzbrötchen (literally French roll) are Hamburg’s iconic pastry. Basically, it is nothing more than a yeast Danish pastry with cinnamon, and yet the Franzbrötchen is something special for the Hamburgers. They are usually served in the afternoon with coffee or even for breakfast. This sweet treat was initially limited to the greater Hamburg area, but since the early 20th century, Franzbrötchen have become popular in many German cities. Today you can easily get a Franzbrötchen from many bakeries across Germany. They are now available in various versions, including with raisins, crumble topping, chocolate chips, marzipan and poppy seeds.
The Franzbrötchen gets its name because it was first made in Hamburg during the French occupation in the 19th century (1806–1814). It is a blend of the French croissant style (Plunderteig / puff pastry) and German baking traditions.
Today I’m turning this sweet pastry from Hamburg into something savoury with seasonal wild garlic. Wild garlic season has just begun! So I simply couldn’t resist. If you’d like to try the recipe, you’ll need to hurry, because wild garlic season is short and usually starts in late March. Around May, the plant begins to flower and the leaves lose their distinctive aroma.

Raspberry Pudding Tart

2026-04-06T00:00:00.001+02:00

This absolutely delicious raspberry pudding tart isn’t just beautiful to look at – it tastes delicious too. The creamy fruity raspberry pudding gives the tart a heavenly flavour, and the lime zest and raspberries the perfect finishing touch. Fresh homemade raspberry syrup is great pouring over pancakes, cheesecakes or adding to sparkling water.

Persimmon and Frisée Salad with Goat Cheese

2026-04-04T00:00:00.001+02:00

Are you looking for a quick salad that is fresh, delicious and full of flavour? Then this frisée salad with persimmon and goat cheese is just right for you. This salad not only tastes great, it also looks pretty. Frisée lettuce can be stacked attractively on a plate thanks to its curly, frizzy texture. The tangy, earthy flavour of goat cheese provides a delightful contrast to the sweet and crunchy texture of ripe persimmons while the apple cider vinegar dressing emphasises the fruity sweetness. I prefer the goat cheese as it is, but you can try brushing the goat cheese rounds with 1-2 teaspoons of honey and roast at 200C/400F for 8-10 minutes.

Creamy Chicken Thighs with Wild Garlic

2026-04-03T00:00:00.001+02:00

This delicious one pan chicken meal comes together in under an hour with minimal effort—but tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen. If you don’t have herbes de Provence, use Italian herbs or even just oregano or thyme. Feel free to use some other greens instead of wild garlic or add in some extra mushrooms. It makes a perfect midweek dinner for a family.

Carrot and Snow Pea Quiche

2026-04-02T00:00:00.001+02:00

A delicous vegetable quiche that’s great for a spring meal. It’s super easy to make, perfect hot or cold for brunch or dinner. Make the crust from scratch if possible, but if you are in a pinch, a quality store-bought all-butter crust would work as well. I replaced some flour with toasted sunflower seeds, you can use almonds or just same amount of flour instead. The filling is loaded with lots of snow peas and baby carrots, but you can use whatever veggies you want for it.

Soya Braised Chicken Legs

2026-04-01T00:00:00.001+02:00

These oven-braised chicken legs are fall-off-the-bone tender, flavourful and so versatile that you can serve them with a wide range of sides, from classic steamed jasmine rice, chow mein, buns, and stir-fried vegetables to fresh salads. And the bonus? You just need one pan to have this delicious meal ready in less an hour. If you can’t find Chinese Shaoxing rice wine, use dry Sherry in a 1:1 ratio. However, it is worth noting that there is also a small amount of wheat or barley starters/yeast in Shaoxing rice wine. So it’s not gluten free.

No Knead Potato Bread

2026-03-31T00:00:00.001+02:00

Adding mashed potatoes to the bread makes it softer, moister, and fluffier, but you'll still get that iconic crusty golden crust. The bread uses very little yeast and the dough does not even need to be kneaded. Instead, it relies on a lengthy fermentation time to develop gluten. You can add some chopped rosemary or thyme to the dough to make it even more interesting and delicious. I baked the bread into a loaf, but you can shape them into a boule and bake in a Dutch oven.

Lamb Chops with Salsa Verde

2026-03-30T00:00:00.001+02:00

For a quick 30-minute meal you really can't beat these delicious spiced lamb chops with a homemade salsa verde, which takes this dish to whole new level of deliciousness. If desired, serve them with a delicious medley of roasted vegetables or some cauliflower rice for a healthy and nutritious low carb dinner.
