2025: German classics and International Yums

Merit Badge in Multicultural
[Click For More Info]

For Roots and Wings

Basically, I'll still go where the stomach leads me (and probably protagonists of my novel series universe

), but I'll also – as the description indicates – throw in German (Alpine) Yums my (grand)parents used to cook when I was a kid.

Guten Hunger!

I'll definitely try these. Faving your recipes, so I can easily make my way back! 😁

In response to "30. Original Swedish Köttbullar "

Oh, please, I'm tired. I can't make this tonight. I'll probably make ground beef and rice with a salad.

Definitely something I'll save for future reference though.

Aw, thank you.

Well, then, enjoy.

Although it‘s not really a quick dish, sorry.

In response to "26. Pistachio Lime Cheese Cake"

Yes! Ricotta is better than only using cream cheese. I have made crust using Zwieback crackers crushed. I like it better than Graham crackers. I also used butter cookies, chocolate cookies, and various other crust experiment choices.

Yes, I use to bake a lot. I made the Italian cookies, Greek cookies, pies and cakes. It was very Zen.

Now, I find meditative interest in other things like renovating rooms in the house. I enjoy cooking meals, but not bothering with baking anymore because I gave up sweets years ago, I have no sweet tooth at all. I guess that's a good thing. However, once a summer, I love to get Pistachio ice cream from an ice cream shop. YUM!

In response to "26. Pistachio Lime Cheese Cake"

Thank you, Ẃeβ࿚ẂỉԎḈĥ

You will probably laugh now, but for me, cooking / baking something complex and time-consuming is what, for other people, is meditation, or yoga.

Oh, I love everything pistachio, too! Plain, mealed/flowered in cake/cookies, ice cream, ...

That with the Italian cheese cake is interesting. I like the ricotta version actually better than the "classic" cream cheese (which I find too sweet).

Now you have to bake as you mustn't share.

In response to "26. Pistachio Lime Cheese Cake"

That looks good! It has some very intricate steps involved. YOU have lots of patience.

I do love pistachio, so that's an interesting crust.

I used to make many different types of Italian cheese cake, three types of cheese including Ricotta. I know the steps, all the prep, and it's time consuming for sure.

Needless to say, with kids grown and on their own, I don't really bake anymore.

In response to "25. "Fake" Sushi"

Don’worry, Elycia Lee ☮

It just looks like sushi but is filled with more European foods. Therefore I called it fake.

But it‘s pretty yummy.

29. Zucchini-Hazelnut Cake

September 7, 2025 at 7:07am

Well, when you can make from these, you can also make cake from 'em, eh? And not that bad a cake, if I may say so. Although... One downer. It wasn't as good as it could've been . For MY taste it was the wrong nuts. Zucchs and hazel didn't go well for ME – but that doesn't mean it has for YOU, when you try this one out. I've made a cake with zucchs before, , and that was just fine – and no , not solely because of the ch... [Read more]
