Tomato Salad from colorful tomatoes

Tomato Salad from colorful tomatoes

For a nice tomato salad you don’t need always red tomatoes.

The recipe for this tomato salad is just a coincidence. Last time we went for shopping, I stood in front of a shelf with tomatoes in all shapes and colors. Right after the thought how great the tomatoes look, the thought came that I should make some nice salad from it.

In addition to a great tomato photo, what I posted already yesterday on Facebook, I made this colorful salad. The aim to me was to make not something unusual or complicated, it is a very simple and delicious tomato salad. The taste of the summer, simple and also can be made with ordinary red tomatoes. So grab some tasty tomatoes and enjoy.

As ground I took a HORI vinyl stone tile, which was kindly provided by casando.de.

Spinach salad with strawberry & vinegar {advertising}

The spinach salad with strawberry & Vinegar is fruity and delicious!

The Spinach salad with strawberry & vinegar had a longer backround. On the Eat & Style Fair 2014 I could try the delicious vinegars from Fruchtwerker for the first time and I’m blown away. They have a great acidity and the full flavor of the fruit, theoretically you could drink it directly. Whether you make a salad dressing, a dessert or whatever, the fruit vinegar from Fruchtwerker fits always.

I made, for example, during last years christmas season some delicious cookies with honey & vinegar. The recipe can be found here.

Who wants to watch what for varieties they have to offer, you can check the Fruchtwerker website. There you can also ask where to buy this great vinegar near you. It’s worth it!

This post was created in collaboration with Fruchtwerker. But these is my personal opinion, which was not affected by Fruchtwerker.

Rhubarb Ketchup – the special BBQ sauce

Rhubarb Ketchup, don’t need to be sweet everytime.

Today I made Rhubarb ketchup, because you don’t need to make only cake or jam from the rhubarb. This year I made some extraordinary recipes out of rhubarb. Today I start with this ketchup.

The preparation is very simple, just cook everything together and blend it. Then you only need to season it, and that’s it. In the first moment it tastes a bit like a jam, but when you season it nicely with salt, pepper and vinegar, the savory taste will come out  great.

This creative dip fits perfectly to meat on your next BBQ or to the next Burger your create.

Lime cake with Easter bunny

Lime cake with Easter bunny

The lime cake hides the sweet Easter bunny.

 

With this recipe for the lime cake with Easter bunny, I made my own version of a cake with a pattern.

I have often seen cakes with a pattern in the middle, such as a star at Christmas, but never made one in black and white. Last year I baked a chocolate cake for Easter and hid a „carrot“ in it.

This year at Easter, there is the classic version in black and white. The bunny is made of chocolate dough and the light dough is seasoned with lime. As decoration, I make a lime glaze and a put bit of lime zest on top, finished is the delicious and fresh Easter cake.
