Pumpkin Love. Pumpkin Bake.

My love for pumpkin will never fade. I’m always happy at the beginning of pumpkin season and I make as much use of that season as I can. This week, I tried Pumpkin Bake.

And oh, it was great. (Deutsche Version.) More

Sweet October.

Hey October. I like you. You’re yummy. Today, I made Hokkaido Rice Pudding.

Hello September. Hello Change.

It’s September already? Wow. Time flies. Summer’s over.

And summer was great.
I’ve been to Stockholm.

Stockholm’s pretty. (Deutsche Version.) More

It’s definitely time for soup.

When I look out of the window, I see white. When I look at my thermometer, I see it’s -8°C outside. That means, it’s definitely time for soup.

For example, pumpkin soup.

It’s so easy to make. Just chop some onions and a Hokkaido pumpkin.

Happy Pumpkin Day!

Today, it’s pumpkin day. (No, not officially. Is there an official pumpkin day?) We had pumpkin soup for lunch.

And afterwards, I made a Pumpkin Almond Cake.

I love this red plate, doesn’t it look adorable? Looks like autumn. Warm and welcoming. And the colour is like a christmas tree ball. With sugar, it looks like a christmas tree ball sprinkled with snow. Oh, I’m dreaming of christmas.

And I love the light there was in the kitchen today! Definitely due to autumn.

The cake tastes really good. Just like anything with pumpkin should taste. (But it was spoiled a bit by my coffee, which tasted gross! I don’t know what’s going on with the coffee machine, but it’s definitely not a good thing.) But you know what’s really, really strange? It totally tastes like sweet chestnuts. Totally. I mean, I love sweet chestnuts, it’s one of the reasons I look forward to winter and christmas markets and all that. And I like this taste. Even in a cake. But – why?

Have you ever tried Parmesan cheese in your pumpkin soup? Try it! It’s darn good.

The weather finally says “soup time”. I just love making soups. I also love eating soup. I still have my cold, but I always feel better after eating a vitamin-packed veg soup. I’m queen of the veg soups, haha! I also made carrot-courgette soup and broccoli soup this week.

It’s getting cold. Finally.
