Cream of Celery SoupCelery is a vegetable I have never particularly cared for. I will use it as a base for soups & sauces - but there is something about it I always found slightly off-putting. I know a lot of people who feel this way about tomatoes and I have always said they only feel that way because they have never had a real tomato - one straight… |

Fat Free Chocolate Cake!Being that I had a baby not quite 4 months ago, I am currently trying very hard to lose weight. I have a lot of it to lose - and that means getting very serious about my diet. The working out thing, I can do (or I used to be able to do before my abdominal muscles were shredded and then sliced open) - but following a strict diet is… |

Orange ChickenProbably the number one thing I miss from the US, food wise, is Chinese food. Cheap, fast, totally Americanized, Chinese take-out. I love it - and there is absolutely nothing comparable in Germany. My favorite Chinese food ever comes from Hunan Garden in Kingwood, Texas (if you live in the Houston area, you should go) (And don't… |

Bucatini PomodoroI have been completely obsessed with making pasta the past few weeks. Its been almost two years since I went to Rome and I have been finding myself daydreaming about pasta, gelato, and granita. I loved Rome and for two years have been trying to plan another trip to Italy. It hasn't worked out so far (even though its just a very… |

Strawberry Rhubarb CrostataI think one of my favorite smells ever is strawberry and rhubarb together. How come you never see that in a scented candle? No matter, cause it filled my kitchen yesterday when I was making this incredibly easy dessert. I have been seeing long stalks of rhubarb at the market for weeks now, it has been beguiling me with its pretty… |

Simple Chicken SaladIts officially picnic season. Berlin is such a great city for it too - tons of huge sprawling parks with green grass and shade trees, miles of riverbank, and just outside the city - lots of beautiful lakes (accessible by city train!). I spend as much time as I can in the park in the spring, summer and fall - and of course there is… |

Classic Banana BreadI used to hate baking. When it came to time spent in the kitchen, I would usually much rather spend it over a pot of soup or a sizzling skillet. That is, until I got pregnant. I have officially fallen in love with baking - really, its more like I have become obsessed with it. This is partly because all I want to eat is baked… |

Spicy Orange CrescentsI don't usually make many sweets or cookies that don't involve chocolate - but this year I have been craving cookies that incorporated different flavors and textures than I normally like. I have had a blast experimenting with different traditional flavors and textures that are traditionally 'christmas-y".Normally I would have a lot… |

Pumpkin Molasses CrinklesIts my favorite time of year - cookie baking time. The holidays mean a lot of different things to different people, but for me, it means its time to make lots and lots (and lots) of cookies. And yes - eat those cookies (ok, maybe I will share a few).These cookies were an experiment that went so SO right. The flavor is just ooozing… |

Camembert-Dijon Cauliflower GratinI love Cauliflower. Like its cousin Broccoli, this is a taste I acquired in adulthood - but I have been so converted it has easily become one of my favorite vegetables. It is inexpensive and filling - I love it roasted, tossed in stir-fry - and definitely with lots of cheese. In fact, I think Cauliflower shines the brightest with… |
