Pancakes with Strawberries

A nice and reasonably light summer dish - pancakes with strawberries :) I haven't found a fail-proof recipe for pancakes yet, but this one is pretty good :) Disclaimer: this is not an American style pancake, rather closer to a French crêpe, however, not thin enough to be called a crêpe in my opinion, so there you go :D

Vanilla Macarons

These vanilla macarons are a little piece of heaven – very light, great tasting little treats! They’re not too complicated to make either, if you follow this recipe step-by-step :) Thank you Ed for this recipe :)

The Absolute Best Chocolate Cake Ever!

You may think that I may be pushing it with this title, but I cannot write anything else than in the highest tones of this cake! It is from Nigella Lawson's "Nigella Bites" and originally called a Chocolate Fudge Cake I believe, but this is seriously underestimated! I have been baking this cake for years now and it never, even once, failed or failed to impress! This particular one I made for my best friend's birthday, Happy Birthday Jonas by the way :) I hope you enjoy!

Red Onion and Tomato Tartelettes

These red onion and tomato tartelettes are a lovely starter - I stole the idea from my friend Berni, hope she doesn't mind :) But I simply had to recreate them at home after I have tried them at hers! They're absolutely delicious and quite variable I would say :)

Aioli

Aioli is a very garlicy dip, goes very well with baguettes or anything that needs a touch of garlic really :) I served it at the barbecue :) I followed this recipe.

will reupload once I make it again and it looks more presentable ;)

Chicken Thighs with Mediterranean Vegetables

Another "shove it in the oven and don't worry about it" recipe - chicken thighs with mediterranean vegetables :) Quite easy to do I would say, can be made into an impressive dish, and very tasty :) Also, when you buy a whole chicken it's sometimes cheaper than buying just the chicken thighs (and you will have the chicken breasts too!) so that might be worth checking out at your local supermarket / butchers :)

Burgers

Making your own burgers for a barbecue is great - you know exactly what went into them and you can vary the taste :) so here is a simple recipe for you :)

No pictures of them afterwards, they were gone too quickly, sorry!
