Dinner Party III

Dinner Party No. 3! 

I really love how we have established this little tradition of cooking three-course dinners for each others among us three couples. We started out last fall and have cooked really good stuff for each other since. This week, we started the third round of our "perfect vegan dinner" - and it was Italian themed.

Dinnerparty Nr. 3!

Ich finde es total toll, dass wir diese kleine Tradition füreinander Drei-Gang-Menüs zu kochen unter uns drei Paaren etabliert haben. Wir haben im letzten Herbst damit angefangen und haben seitdem immer nur leckere Sachen für einander kredenzt. Diese Woche haben wir die dritte Runde unseres "perfekten veganen Dinners" gestartet - und das Thema war Italien im Ruhrpott.

The dessert for our latest dinner party was easy to prepare and was also easily prepared in advance.

• 300ml almond milk (I made my own)
• 1 teaspoon of agar agar
• 50g of raw cane sugar for the panna cotta

• 1 tablespoon of raw cane sugar for the sauce

Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream and Strawberries

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unterhalb des englischen Rezepts.

The strawberry season is here and we decided two kilos of strawberries were a good way to start! Apart from eating the just like that and putting them in my overnight oats, we knew we had to use them in more ways. Cupcakes seemed like a great option!

Ingredients for 12 Vanilla Cupcakes

• 250 ml soy milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
• 175g wheat flour
• 20g of cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 pack of vanilla sugar (or flavor)
• 60g of sunflower oil
• 150g of raw cane sugar

Ingredients for the topping:

• 1 pack of vanilla flavored custard powder
• 250ml of soy milk
• 2 tablespoons of sugar (more if you like your butter cream sweeter)
• 100g of margarine (I used Alsan)
• 12 small strawberries (about the size of a hazelnut or a little bigger)
• a handfull of strawberries of any size :)

A Simple + Healthy Breakfast: Overnight Oats

I also puréed a few strawberries and added
this strawberry sauce to the bottom of the jar.

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

Calling this a recipe is almost impudent... I saw a lot of overnight oats on the internet recently and decided to give it a go so I'd have a simple and healthy breakfast to make a Monday morning a bit nicer for myself and for people around me (those who got breakfast from me and those who didn't have to deal with a breakfast-free me). :)

Here is what I used for today's overnight oats:

Ingredients (per serving):

• 70g of rolled oats
• 200ml of oat milk (you can use any milk you like!)
• 5 strawberries
• 1 small banana
• a handfull of chopped almonds
• some rhubarb (half a small stick?)
• 1 teaspoon of raw cane sugar
