A festive Romanian buttercream cake with caramelized walnuts. What can I say about this Caramelized Walnuts and Buttercream Cake? It might not be your everyday cake but, if you like a bit of a challenge, you should make it. It is indescribably good, so luscious and sweet and flavorful. It might contain 1000 calories per crumb but they are all so worth it! 🙂 Each and every one of them!…
Typical Romanian vegan pies filled with cabbage and lots of dill. This kind of pies have a long tradition in Romania and the Republic of Moldova. I am not entirely satisfied with the English translation of “pie”, I feel that the word is not really suitable for this kind of small, yeasty “cake” or even flatbread, traditionally filled with cheese or with cabbage for a fasting time (vegan) version. However,…
Wine sauerkraut with soft meat dumplings make a delicious and comforting winter stew. This is a Romanian recipe with a German touch. And the German touch doesn’t come from my living in Germany right now, but from the Transylvanian Saxons who have been living in Romania for centuries. The first colonists of German origin started arriving in Transylvania about 850 years ago. Many of them were searching for a better…
Prajitura cu mere – a deliciously tender apple cake, easily made and loved by everyone. When it comes to apple cake, I think you really have a choice on Where Is My Spoon. Several Romanian apple cakes like this Apple Caramel Cake or Geta’s Apple Cake, some German ones like the Apple Almond Cream Cake and the Apple Streusel Cheesecake, some really quick and easy ones like the Apple Sugar…
Ciorba de fasole boabe – a comforting white bean soup made with bone broth, bacon, tarragon and lots of vegetables. In case you have seen my last post – the Romanian White Bean Dip – you might have read my tip about cooking more beans than necessary when making the dip. I always do that, it doesn’t matter if there are beans or chickpeas, if I want to make a…

And this time not only a two-week or even monthly series, but a whole year series. I decided to go for Romanian cooking in 2017, so I could call this “One Year of Romanian Cooking”. Why Romanian cooking? Well,…
A soft and delicious hazelnut chocolate cake with cherries and bananas and topped with sour cream or crème fraiche. The last post of 2016, wow, where did this year go? I hope you had a good year, mine was pretty good, a few ups and downs along the way, but generally I really cannot complain. To finish this year on a sweet note, I chose this chocolate hazelnut cherry banana…
Crunchy chocolate biscotti with lots of hazelnuts, the perfect cookies to dip into your coffee or tea. Biscotti are some of those things I’ve been meaning to bake for ages, but somehow never got to it until now. I am sure every one who likes to cook has such a list of things to be cooked soon, a list that gets longer and longer with the years… My list will…
Tender chicken breasts glazed with apricot jam and sprinkled with lots of hazelnuts, a light, easy and delicious meal. I hope you had a great Christmas time!
