Kaiser Schmarren This dish came from Eastern Europe and then Austria and Germany adopted it. This simple and filling dessert used to be a dish for the poor but obviously, it tasted so good that even the Kaiser craved it. Serve it with fresh fruit or compote. Preferrably apple or plum. Serves two.
Lavender Cookies The wonderfully aromatic lavender is a versatile herb used for cooking and in marmalades and jams. When steeped in vinegar it imparts a delicate flavor to your salad dressings. Oil-steeped lavender can be used to marinate cheese. Makes two dozen cookies.
Cheese Cake with Blueberry Sauce I usually bake this cake in the evening and refrigerate it overnight. It takes some extra time, but believe me, this cake is worth the effort!
Rote Gruetze (Mixed Berry Jelly) This tasty dessert originated in Denmark and made its way throughout Europe. It's easy to make, very refreshing and full of vitamins. It's a great energy boost for hot summer days.
Blackberry Pie To cover your pie with crust, simply double the crust recipe and cover the pie with the crust before baking.
Rice Pudding with Applesauce This is a wonderful dish you can eat at any time of day, whether it's mid-afternoon or midnight, after the guests have gone. The applesauce complements the rice pudding and evokes memories of grandmother's kitchen.
Country Chocolate Cheesecake Spoil yourself with our country chocolate cheesecake. And yes, it is as delectable as it looks!
Pastry:
Valentine Cake This cake should be baked in a heart-shaped baking pan. If you don't have one, bake it in a springform (a baking pan with a removable rim), but double the recipe. Once the cake has cooled, simply cut it into a heart shape and proceed with the icing.
