Dessert
I tried to get some decent fried desert for quite a while but without any success. Altering the approach resulted in this recipe. It is nothing that you would get in a chinese restaurant, though it does deliver in colour and crisp. Two factors that are important for this dish in my humble opinion.

This second variation of spinach bread dumplings came to live by accident. As I added too much salt to a regular batch without more ingredients to add I had to become creative. A delicious alternative was born.

Dip
White bean humus is a really nice and easy dip that goes with quite a lot of dishes. For this version I do use mostly canned ingredients, so it is super fast to prepare.

Pizza
This is my most advanced pizza recipe yet. Using a higher hydration, a long first fermentation as well as a different shaping technique it is more time-consuming and harder to get right than my others, but man is it worth it. However, if this is your first time making sourdough pizza, rather choose a difference recipe for the first tries.

My second attempt at making vegetable broth. This time I used less celeriac but more onions. If you follow my process you will get a very intense raw vegetable broth as side product.

This chutney was planned to be a plain apple chutney, though due to miscalculating the required ingredients I was in need of more ingredients. I decided to go with raisins and to my surprise the outcome was amazing. I still dislike the texture of the raisins, but the taste of the chutney is just delicious.

Its apple season. Time to make some apple compote. The recipe is pretty standard, nothing too special about it (yet). I would consider it a good baseline for further experiments.

This recipe is still work in progress. It already tastes great, but a bit more tweaking will make it really stand out.

Baking Bread
This is a pretty simple sunflower seed sourdough bread that does not require a lot of steps before baking. If you prepare the dough at night (10 minutes time) you can bake it in the morning (45 minutes baking time).

This is a very simple lentils dish that once can whip out in a few minutes if you have cooked lentils ready to go. Its more a reminder to myself rather than a real recipe .

Our second jam this season has a twist. We wanted to add some acidity to the extreme sweetness of the peaches. Rather than go for the default lemon acid we decided to use pineapple instead. Not enough to actually taste it, but enough to give the jam an amazing exotic acidity.

One of my new absolute favorite pizza toppings. The intense basil flavor from the pesto, and the creaminess of the ricotta just works amazing together.

Red currant meringue cake is one of the cakes I remember dearly from my childhood. My mother usually baked it on a flat baking tray though I adapted the recipe to a small spring form to fit our needs.

Following our tradition to try one type of jam per summer we decided to go for apricot jam. Its one of my all-time favorites. Thanks Eva for the jars and apricots ;)

Topping
Humus is a very nice side dish for a lot of oriental dishes. I still have not got a good recipe for classic humus, though I do experiment a lot with other versions. This one is a very refreshing fruity one. Its great on its own, but also distinct enough to be served in combination with traditional humus.

I love basil. Usually I do make basil salt to be able to enjoy it all year long. Though as I had an incredible harvest this year I decided to make basil pesto as well.

Another very simple ice cream recipe. You don’t need an ice cream machine for this, though you will need a good blender to make this work.
