Homemade Panna Cotta with Nectarine Compote

I just love simple, fast and yet delicious desserts and this panna cotta is one of them. I would never think that it is actually that easy. It is perfect for summer, not too sweet and perfectly refreshing. I used the little jars I got here in Switzerland for serving and transporting. If you decorate them little bit, you can even give your panna cotta to someone as a gift! :)

Chocolate brownie

Credit for this recipe goes to my husband, because he is the Brownie-master in our household :) It is unfortunately true, that I do more cooking/baking that him, but this brownie is his masterpiece and it is delicious (and simple) :) You definitely have to try it, although I dont recommend it if you want to loose some weight... :) But come on, we live just once! 

Summer cake

This time, it is going to be something sweet again :) I love baking much more than cooking and during the last weekend I created this wonderful summer cake. Use any kind of berries you have currently at home. I needed to have something quick, so I used the ready-made shortpastry. Otherwise, I do it myself and you can find the recipe here:

Flammenkuchen

Flammenkuchen or if you want Alsace-pizza is one of my most favourite meals. We cook it very often for dinner because it is quick, easy, and most of all very tasty :) Well, if you love bacon and cheese, you need to try this recipe :)

Marinated chicken breast

Are you looking for a meal which is light and quickly done during these hot summer days? Chicken breast might not be the most original meat but with this marinade you will fall in love with it again :) Count around 1 hour for the marinade.

Duck breast with honey sauce

It's been a long time since the last recipe because I was away for a month or so --> on my honeymoon! :) We went to Singapore and Bali and of course took some cooking classes for traditional balinese dishes - very very tasty! I will provide you with recipes later on! But this time, lets do some duck!! Me, personally, I am not such a big fan of duck but this recipe got me! I think that duck goes well with sweet, although the sauce is not too sweet, because there is a little twist! Give it a try! :)

Guacamole

Today, I decided to share with you my jewel!! Guacamole!! And even a Colombian guy said, that my guacamole is better than what his mom is preparing! :) I have to share with you also a short history, how did I mastered this recipe. One day, I decided with my boyfriend to learn how to prepare guacamole. But there are so many different recipes on the internet, and we couldn't agree on one, so we made a competition out of it :) It ended quite good, just way too much of guacamole that night. But I guess we discovered the ingredients and their proportions and we still prepare it very often at home as a simple and quick dinner, because we LOVE it! :) This ingredients give you nice bowl of guacamole - enough for 2 people for dinner, or for more people just as snack.
