GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • small bowl
  • small pot (or microwave)
  • two medium-sized bowls
  • whisk
  • spatula

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 200 grams all-purpose flour
  • 35 grams cornstarch
  • 140 grams butter
  • 150 grams brown sugar
  • 50 grams white sugar
  • 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate
  • 100 grams white chocolate
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Chop the chocolate into big chunks.
  2. Melt the butter in a pot or in the microwave.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the flour, starch, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In another medium-sized bowl, mix the brown and white sugar. Add the melted butter with a whisk and beat the mixture until it becomes kind of creamy.
  5. Now add one whole egg and one egg yolk and beat until the mixture becomes thicker.
  6. Next, add the dry ingredients from the other bowl and stir a little, then add the chocolate and mix everything until no more flour is visible and stop stirring to avoid overmixing the dough.
  7. Form the dough into 9 equal-sized balls and place them in a container that fits in the fridge. Place the cookie balls in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours – if you want to prepare the dough in advance, you can leave it in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
  8. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Once the oven is hot, place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8-10 minutes.
  9. Remove the tray with the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 15 minutes. I know it’s hard, but it’s worth the wait 😉

  • Yield: 2.5 LITERS (APPROX. 5 FL. PT.)

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large pot with lid
  • large bowl (or a medium-sized pot)
  • fine sieve (or a kitchen towel)

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
VEGETABLES & BEEF
  • 2 kilograms beef bones
  • 1 tsp clarified butter
  • 400 grams carrots
  • 2 onions
  • 200 grams celery root
  • 100 grams leek
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 lemon
HERBS & SPICES
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 stem thyme
  • 1 large bunch of parsley
  • 5 cloves
  • 1/2 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 22 grams salt (approx. 2 1/2 tsp)

Instructions

  1. Wash the beef bones well and roast in the oven at 250°C (480°F) for approx. 30 minutes.
  2. Wash the carrots, celery and leek and cut everything into large pieces.
  3. Wash the lemon and herbs too. Put the herbs aside.
  4. Halve the onions and lemon.
  5. Heat 1 tsp clarified butter in a large pot and fry onions, lemon, carrots, celery, leek and garlic cloves until they leave a residue.
  6. Remove the bones from the oven and place on top of the vegetables. Fill up with 2.5-3 liters of cold water.
  7. Now add 2 dried bay leaves, 5 allspice seeds, 5 cloves, 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander seeds and 1 bunch of parsley.
  8. Put the lid on and bring to the boil over a high heat. As soon as it boils, turn the heat down to the lowest setting and leave the liquid to simmer in the pot with the lid on for 6 hours.
  9. After 6 hours, remove the pot from the heat and leave to cool briefly. Remove the beef bones and any other coarse pieces of vegetables, as well as the herbs and spices.
  10. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve into a medium-sized pan. Allow the broth to cool completely and then skim off any fat floating on top. I put my pot in the fridge overnight. If there is still too much fat floating on top, the broth can be strained again through kitchen towels or a fine kitchen towel. The fat residue will then stick to it. Season the broth with salt. I season with 6-8g (approx. 1 teaspoon) per liter, depending on taste.
  11. The broth can now be processed directly or filled into jars.

  • Total Time: 2,5 hrs

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • 2 medium sized bowls
  • medium-sized aluminum or glass bowl
  • rectangular flat container
  • baking paper
  • small pot

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
LAYER 1
  • 85 grams protein powder vanilla
  • 50 grams almond flour
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 60 milliliters soy milk
LAYER 2
  • 2 tbsp caramel spread
LAYER 3
  • 120 grams crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/8 salt
LAYER 4
  • 150 grams semi sweet chocolate
  • 1/2 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Line a rectangular flat container with baking paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, prepare the first layer by mixing the protein powder, almond flour, maple syrup and soy milk into a dense, malleable dough. My recommendation is to place the dough between two layers of baking paper, roll it out and then place it in the container. Because the dough is really sticky.
  3. Next, spread 2 tablespoons of caramel over the dough layer as a second layer. Then place the container in the freezer for about an hour.
  4. For the third layer, mix the crunchy peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup and a pinch of salt together in a medium bowl. After taking the container from the freezer, spread the mixture over the caramel layer evenly. Place the mold back in the freezer for 60 minutes.
  5. Fill a small pot with water, bring to the boil and then remove from the heat. Place a heatproof aluminum or glass bowl over the pot. Melt the chocolate in it together with half a teaspoon of coconut oil, stirring regularly.
  6. Once the chocolate has melted completely, remove the frozen bar mixture from the freezer and cut into 15 bars. Pull each bar individually through the melted chocolate with two forks, drain and place on baking paper or a rack to harden. If the room temperature is too warm, leave the bars to set in the fridge.

Basic Chicken Broth

Basic Chicken Broth


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 2-4 hrs
  • Yield: 3 liters / 3.17 quarts

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large pot with lid
  • large bowl
  • fine sieve

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 liters water
  • 1.5 kilograms of any kind of chicken parts with bones and a bit of fat (e.g. stewing hen)
  • 800 grams mixed vegetables of your choice (e.g. carrots, onions, celery root, parsley, leeks)
  • 1 bundle of fresh herbs of your choice (e.g. thyme, parsley, cilantro, chives)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 5 cloves
  • 1/4 tsp coriander seeds
  • 5 allspice
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 1 tsp avocado oil or clarified butter
  • 22 grams salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Wash your vegetables, leave their skins on, and chop everything into large pieces. Also, wash the herbs because we’ll use them whole, including their stems.
  2. Pat the chicken pieces dry with kitchen paper. Then heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot and fry the vegetables until they get a little nice browning. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and add 3 liters of cold water.
  3. Add 2 dried bay leaves, 5 allspice berries, 3 cloves, 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander seeds, and the herbs to the pot.
  4. Cover the pot with a lid and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once it boils, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and let it simmer with the lid on for at least 2 hours. For the best results, I recommend letting it cook for 4 hours.
  5. After cooking, remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Take out the chicken, vegetables, herbs, and spices. If you’ve used chicken parts with meat on, don’t forget to save the meat for other recipes.
    Strain the liquid through a fine sieve into another pot. Season the broth with salt if desired. I usually add 6–8 g (approximately 1 teaspoon) of salt per liter (4 cups) of broth.
  6. Let the broth cool completely. Skim off any fat floating on top, or if your pot fits in the fridge, let it rest overnight. The fat will solidify on the surface, making it easy to remove.
  7. The broth is now ready to use. Alternatively, pour it into sealable jars or deli containers. You can store it in the fridge for up to 6 days or freeze it for up to 6 months.

Notes

If you cook on a regular basis, you’ve probably noticed how many vegetable scraps end up in the trash, e.g. onion skins, carrot peels, leek ends, herb stems, and more. Instead of tossing them, grab a large ziplock bag and store all your scraps in the freezer. Over time, you’ll collect a substantial amount of veggie and herb scraps, which are perfect for making your next broth at home. No need to defrost them, simply toss the frozen scraps directly into a pot, cover them with water and go for it. Use them alone for a flavorful vegetable stock or pair them with chicken or beef bones for a rich, meaty broth. It’s an easy, eco-friendly way to ensure you always have homemade stock for literally no cost!

  • Total Time: 4 hrs + 5 min
  • Yield: 8

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • dough scraper (or blunt knife)
  • casserole dish (or ovenproof dish)

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 350 milliliters lukewarm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 7 grams instant yeast
  • 500 grams flour type 00 (pizza flour)
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Place the ingredients in a large bowl in the following order: warm water, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp olive oil, dry yeast. Mix everything well with a whisk.
  2. Now add flour and 1 tsp salt. Mix everything well with a spatula so that the flour is incorporated and the edges can be scraped off. Now cover the bowl with a towel for 20 minutes and leave to rest.
  3. Wet your hands with a little water and grab the dough from four sides one after the other, pull it up and fold it in the middle so that the dough becomes rounder and has tension. Cover the bowl with a towel again and leave to rest for another 20 minutes.
  4. Repeat step 3 and cover the bowl with a towel again, but this time leave the dough to rest for approx. 2 hours.
  5. Sprinkle a little flour on a work surface and place the dough on top and also sprinkle with a little flour. Spread the dough out a little and divide into 8 equal portions. Pull the dough pieces in a semicircle on the worktop so that there is tension on the surface.
  6. Place baking paper on a baking tray and sprinkle with a little flour. Place the dough pieces on top, cover again with a towel and leave to rise for another hour.
  7. Now heat the oven to 230°C (446°F). Place a baking dish or ovenproof dish with water on the bottom of the oven. Instead of the bowl of water, you can also simply pour water into the oven with a spray bottle as soon as the tray is in the oven and then quickly close the door.
  8. Once the oven has heated up, place the baking tray with the rolls in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Then remove the baking dish with water from the oven and bake for a further 10-15 minutes until the buns are golden brown.
