• Tsoureki – Greek Easter Bread

  

  Tsoureki, greek easter bread, uses some very unusual ingredients. One is mahlap, the ground up kernels of a mediterranean cherry variety. The other is mastic, a resin that gets harvested on the Greek island of Chios. Those two ingredients are responsible for the very unique taste of the Tsoureki.

• Sourdough Poffertjes

  

  Dutch poffertjes (mini pancakes) are a staple on german christmas markets. But of course I get a craving when the markets are all closed up and moved on. That means I have to make my own, and since I don’t use yeast, I developed a yummy sourdough version.

• Cheeseboard Bites

  

  I made a cheeseboard for Christmas and there was a bit leftover. No biggie, but unfortunately not every cheese was in the shape to be put on a sandwich. So I made pizza style cheeseboard bites out of the leftovers.
