German-Japanese Fusion Dish - Sauerkraut Croquettes, with homegrown tomatoes, potatoes, and cucumber The acidity offered by the Sauerkraut wonderfully balanced the overall flavour profile. ❤️

Yes, it is also rare here in Germany. Some TV series I watched always mention pumpkin pie, I am so curious and can't wait to try. I will first try the pumpkin spice latte with homemade pumpkin syrup (those sold in international coffee chain stores are crxp :P), and later in Nov/Dec, I will do...

The flowers I cut two days ago and arranged for the tables in front of the cafe - I want to talk about the pollen-free sunflower - ProCut series. This year I grew White, Plum, and Red. They are wonderful choices, but their main flowers are gigantic and very difficult to use for any usual...

Steve, this time, the okra surprises me, no, it shocks me! I will take a photo and you will understand. It grows like a tree.....oh my, I never know an okra can grow so huge. I might need to remove it soon from the raised bed - it's already two meter high now. I'm pretty curious so I keep two...

I'm back (with some desserts I made this week)! The autumn raspberries and pink blueberries from my garden are also used on different products. Those are blueberry and strawberry mini-cheese cakes. Chocolate mini cheesecakes - they just look so cute. It gradually moves to autumn. scallion...

Oh, I didn't make a post for such a long time? Things are going fine, I just didn't have time to take a lot of photo every day in the garden. But the beauty is, while you were busy, plants just kept growing. We still have the critter issues, so a lot of potatoes are gone. Well, no time for...

I am back, tomorrow (and Monday) are off days. Let me share some food offered in the cafe recently. Lemon and melon roll - It's a delightful surprise – the contrast between sweetness and acidity makes the tasting experience unique, and the fragrance of fresh lemon zest adds another layer of...

I cut some flowers for decorating the tables in front of my cafe. Sweet Williams from seeds - the color is amazing! I can't stop thinking, as biennials, they will offer more generous flowers next year, right? The final results - I am confident that my cafe is the only cafe in the surroundings...

I finally transplanted an okra in the greenhouse....and it's the first time I can harvest okras, and they are bigger than I expected! Now I know, okra loves super hot environment :lol: (or maybe they hate cold nights here in summer....). In the past few years, they just didn't survive, even I...

Outside my cafe this morning - my container gardening area :D Days are flying even quicker when everyday is busy, and I am happy to meet a lot of kind and lovely people - many more than I imagined. I keep making a lot of delicious food - many were sold before I tried by myself. 🤭...

In fact, I didn't remember how many bouquets I arranged this year. The number didn't matter after you made a lot. :p With the shorter and shorter daylight hours, some plants are ready to blossom. I got some sweet williams, sea lavender, Echinacea, sweet peas, lupines, and hydrangea to replenish...

Today's baking :D Pesto Rolls, Sausage Rolls, and Cinnamon Rolls with orange icing Two different mini-cheesecake and Two tarts :) In fact, there are a bit too many, but it's for the coming weekend, too.

that sounds delicious!

Pest or not, anyway, we finally have this leopard slug in our garden. I am not sure if they really 'hunt' those Spanish slugs, but I also have the gut feeling that these leopard slugs would also cause some damages to the plants. What is your experience? I do want to put both spices together...

Kind of dream comes true! A small jar of wild strawberry jam! Remember that I divided a huge clump of wild strawberry plant into something like 15 plants? I transplanted them in one small raised bed (80*60cm) that was filled with homemade compost before the weather warmed up this spring. And...

Rainy day, humidity is very high. I just made myself a chilled milk tea - black tea, a bit sugar, and milk. Today the cafe is off, so I can take my time for trying some ideas. From a customer's finger food order, I make the 2nd batch pesto rolls. Another motivation behind is - many vegetarian...

Can't agree you more! The more modern and complicated (and expensive) machines usually have terrible issues to clean them up. I did once consider those shiny, bulky, and looks super professional coffee machines that are usually used in the chain cafes - but I don't have the space to accommodate...

When the flowers on the table are so fresh~
