Epiphany, Theophany or Three King’s Day, January 6th is the day that marks the end of the Christmas holidays in Spain. During the night of January 5th, the three kings come to all houses to bring presents for the whole family and during January 6th, everyone will open the presents and eat a roscón de reyes. As a tradition, this sweet cake also comes with a surprise: hidden inside there is a faba bean and a king figure.

Hemp protein is one of those ingredients that I was not familiar with because I think there is still some confusion about hemp. It does is a type of cannabis, but hemp has an almost nonexistent amount of THC (you don’t get high) and it’s a great source of CBD (to make you relax), but don’t worry because hemp protein is made from hemp seeds that don’t contain THC nor CBD (and you can find it in almost any supermarket).

Get a nice plain bread loaf with some sour-sweet candied cranberry and kumquat flavors and a hint of anise. And it combines perfectly adding some chocolate on top of a toasted slice!

Thanksgiving in a couple of bites! With a layer of mashed potatoes, one layer of turkey with gravy and topped with a layer of cranberry sauce.

I wanted to eat a fluffy and tasty, but low calory cheesecake and decided to bake a classic Käsekuchen mit Rosinen (Cheesecake with raisins) with some of the Quark I had home, but since this week is Thanksgiving, I change the raisins for some dried cranberries and topped the cake with cranberry sauce.

If you like the sour taste of fermented dough, but also the lightness of a spongy pancake you have to try this Ethiopian food staple made with teff flour called Injera.

There’s a very common dairy product in Germany and northern Europe called Quark that has less fat and more protein than cream cheese and can be used to bake from cheese cake, puff pastry, bread… or for this recipe: Quarkbällchen (Quark balls). To give it a twist, I made three flavors of Quarkbällchen: plain, matcha and eggnog.

Focaccia is one of the easiest breads to bake and it always turns out delicious. Taking advantage of some vegetables and fruits that are in peak season right now, I had some fun baking a “fall focaccia”.

I didn’t want to go with a plain pie and I though it would be perfect to add some extra sweet layer of that homemade pumpkin spice jam I still had in the fridge contrasted with some saltiness of a good soft goat cheese.
