Kasseler ‘Grey Bread’ – One of Fifty shades of German bread
Very delicious this one. And the first yeast-bread I somewhat mastered! It is soooooooo good!!! I started making this without a mixer, so it is possible, the ‘Krume’ as it is called in German – the stuff inside the crust, will not turn out as flexible and homogenous if you make it by hand, but […]
Swedish Crispbread with ‘Snow’ II – 3rd Re-creation atempt of “þe awld brēad”?
A third attempt, this time with longer baking and some more learned details. Just a reminder – I read on the English Wikipedia that the old way of making Knäckebröd – Knäckebrot in German and Swedish Crisp Bread in English was with crushed ice or snow. All modern versions I found would be with yeast. […]
Swedish Crispbread with Snow – Re-creation atempt of “þe awld brēad”?
Yes, I looked that up, but I’m not sure if ‘the old bread’ (þe awld brēad) is actually old English, but it was certainly closer than ‘ye olde bread’. Either way – it’s a Swedish dish anyway and I had fun looking that up 😉 Also, I’m really busy at the moment with some things, […]

Experimental Food – My Red Velvet Cake Quest III
*nomnomnom all the experimental cupcakes have been eaten. Back to the baking board and making a new batch of trial cupcakes. This time I focus on the Raw Cacao, on the question whether I have mixed up the cupcakes, whether beetroot smells funny and is redder than the cacao…
Experimental Food – My Red Velvet Cake Quest II
A cake. I wanted to make a whole cake. With the wonderfully sounding ‘Ermine’ icing/frosting/filling. So I did. And it was better than the cupcakes before and that was mostly due to a change in ingredients! This is part II of the quest and again, the ‘final’ recipe will come, once I am happy with […]
Experimental Food – My Red Velvet Cake Quest I
Broken Glass Red Velvet (Dexter or Halloween) Cupcakes, what an awesome idea. I saw them, was intrigued and wanted to make them. But not from a cake packet and when I learned how much food colouring went in and about the myths, I started digging a little myself!
