A Little Love Letter

Embark on a culinary journey with this Lemon Broth with Pasta, Broccoli, and Peas, topped with Parmesan. This dish is a symphony of flavors, blending lemon juice with the wholesomeness of vegetables and pasta. Perfect for those seeking a meal that’s both nutritious and bursting with flavor, it’s an ideal comfort food for family dinners or a cozy night in.

Serve this vibrant dish hot, allowing the aromatic lemon broth to enhance the tender pasta, broccoli, and peas. The Parmesan cheese adds a creamy, indulgent touch, melting beautifully into the broth. For a perfect presentation, garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest and fresh herbs. Pair it with a crisp white wine or a refreshing lemonade to complement the zesty flavors.

I don’t recommend making too much of the dish and keeping it in the fridge as the noodles will swell in the soup and it will become too thick.

A Little Love Letter

These blueberry banana cupcakes are the kind of bake that instantly fills your kitchen with the scent of something cozy and inviting. They’re incredibly soft and light, made with ripe mashed bananas that add natural sweetness and moisture, and pockets of juicy blueberries that burst gently as they bake. Each bite feels fresh and bright, yet comforting in that nostalgic, homemade way.

What makes them truly special is how effortless they are: simple ingredients, a quick batter, and a result that tastes far more impressive than the time it takes to make them. They’re the kind of cupcakes you can whip up on a slow Sunday morning or bring to a last-minute gathering—and they’ll always feel like a thoughtful, homemade treat.

Once cooled, they’re topped with a silky, slightly tangy cream cheese frosting that pairs beautifully with the fruitiness of the cupcakes. It adds just the right amount of richness without overpowering the delicate flavors. Together, it’s a combination that feels both light and indulgent—perfect for brunch, spring and summer celebrations, or any moment that needs a little piece of happiness baked into it.

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • cupcake tin
  • baking paper
  • large bowl
  • medium bowl
  • hand mixer

 

Ingredients

Units Scale
CUPCAKES
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 50 milliliters coconut oil
  • 80 grams agave syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 180 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 160 grams frozen blueberries
FROSTING
  • 230 grams cream cheese
  • 250 grams yogurt
  • 50 milliliters agave syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup cupcake tin with baking paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork to a mash. Mix in the coconut oil, agave syrup, egg and vanilla.
  3. Now add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt to the bowl and mix everything together until a creamy dough forms, do not overmix. Fold in the blueberries but set aside about 1 tablespoon of them for later.
  4. Fill the cupcake tins about 2/3 full. Now bake for 16 minutes. I bake them in two batches of 6 so that the cupcakes have more room to rise.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Place the cream cheese, yoghurt, agave syrup, vanilla extract and lemon juice in a mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form and a firm cream has formed,
  6. Take the cupcakes out of the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack. As soon as the cupcakes are at room temperature, the frosting can be spread on top. Warm the remaining blueberries in a small pot or in the microwave until they turn into a sauce. Let it cool and pour the sauce over the cupcakes just before serving.

Welcome to the delightful world of Roasted Pumpkin with Garlic Yogurt Sauce and Pistachios. This dish is a perfect amalgamation of sweet, earthy pumpkin, enriched with a tangy and creamy garlic yogurt sauce, and finished with a sprinkle of crunchy pistachios. It’s an ideal recipe for those seeking a nutritious yet indulgent addition to their meal, blending the warmth of winter flavors with a touch of elegance.

Serve this exquisite dish as a stunning side or a main course. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats or can stand alone for a satisfying vegetarian option. The creamy garlic yogurt sauce complements the soft, caramelized pumpkin, while the pistachios add a delightful crunch. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. It’s best enjoyed warm, making it a comforting choice for chilly evenings or festive gatherings.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm. It’s recommended to store the pumpkin and garlic yogurt sauce separately to maintain the best texture and flavor when enjoying it later.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer (or stand mixer)
  • Cling film
  • Cheese grater
  • Baking tin 20×20 cm (8×8 inch)

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 250 grams butter
  • 100 grams sugar
  • 350 grams sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 150 grams cherry jam

Instructions

  1. Line a baking tin with baking paper.
  2. Place the soft (not liquid) butter, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer for approx. 3 minutes until creamy. Add the flour and mix until the butter is coated in flour. Then knead with your hands until smooth.
  3. Wrap the dough in a layer of cling film and shape into a square. Place the dough in the freezer for approx. 1 hour.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Now grate half the dough into flakes using a cheese grater. Put the other half back in the freezer.
  5. Spread the flakes evenly in a baking dish. Use very little pressure to spread the flakes in the tin. DO NOT press them down. Now spread the cherry jam evenly over the flakes.
  6. Now take the second half of the dough out of the freezer and grate it into flakes using the cheese grater and spread it evenly over the jam. Again, only spread the flakes with very light fingers and do not press down.
  7. Bake for approx. 15 to 20 minutes at 180°C (350°F) or until the shortbread is light golden but not brown. It is best to take them out of the oven when they are lightly golden, as they will bake a little longer anyway. Leave the shortbreads to cool and cut into strips.

  • cling film
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • small saucepan

Ingredients

  • 200 grams quark
  • 100 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 25 grams butter
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of lemon zest

TOPPINGS
  • 35 grams breadcrumbs
  • 35 grams ground hazelnuts
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1.5 tbsp butter
  • 200 milliliters vanilla sauce

Instructions

  1. Squeeze the quark between kitchen paper so that it loses any liquid. Cut the nougat into 4 equal pieces. If you are using whole hazelnuts, finely grind them. If you are using hazelnuts that have already been ground, you can skip this step.
  2. For the buns, beat butter with a pinch of salt (approx. 3 minutes) and then add the egg and mix. Now add flour and the quark. Knead everything into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the fridge for at least 90 minutes.
  3. After 90 minutes, bring a medium-sized pot of water to the boil. Meanwhile, transfer the dough from the fridge to a floured work surface and roll out. Divide into 4 equal pieces. Place a piece of nougat in the middle of each piece of dough, wrap evenly with dough and shape into a ball.
  4. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat and place the nougat balls in the boiling water. Cook the nougat balls for around 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the vanilla sauce in a small pan.
