Lemon Meringue Pie

It’s finally there. The long awaited recipe for an american and – as you asked for it – vegan lemon meringue pie is online after I have tortured you with stories and photos for weeks over on Instagram. I must admit it took me so long, since the recipe testing took quite a while. But […]

Warm aubergine and courgette salad

Warmer Antipasti Auberginensalat mit Zucchini, Kartoffeln und Feta.

Summertime is barbecue time – and barbecue time for Grimm and me always means aubergine time too. This vegetable is one of our favourites to barbecue and as soon as the sun comes out we’re stoking up our BBQ it will surely have its place of honour on the grill or in form of a […]

Pulled Salmon Bagel with Avocado

Rezept für rauchige, saftige Pulled Lachs Bagel mit Avocado. #snack #frühstück #bagel #carbs

Pulled Salmon is a term I took over from the Pulled Pork, that incredibly tender and soft pork roast which is drowned in BBQ sauce and can literally be pulled apart without any effort. This pulled meat is a perfect base for burgers, sandwiches and the like. Unfortunately I am one of those impatient brats […]

4 indoor beefer BBQ recipes

Pfirsich Ziegenkäse Baguette mit Sesampaste aus dem Indoor Steakreaktor Beefer Oberhitzegrill von Klarstein.

[ad for Klarstein] The past few months have by far been the busiest and most eventful time of my admittedly still rather young blogger and photography career. So many things happened almost simultaneously. I accepted a job offer as a food photographer in Hamburg and moved there at short notice. Around the same time I got […]

Carrot-Lemon-Cake with Cashew-Icing

Hier ist ein Rezept für einen saftigen, luftigen Karotten-Zitronen-Kuchen mit Cashewbutter-Icing. Dieser lockere Karottenkuchen ist problemlos für einige Tage im Kühlschrank haltbar. Das nussige, leicht bittere Cashewbutter-Icing gibt dem Kuchen das spezielle Etwas und der frische Zitronensaft sowie die Zitronenschale verleihen ihm eine saure, fruchtige Note.

When it comes to cake recipes I usually have high expectations. I prefer to bake recipes after recommendations, knowing that it has already been thoroughly tested and chances are high that it’ll turn out soft and juicy. My perfect cake will not crumble to pieces and can only be “enjoyed” with a bottle of water […]

Nectarine & Sweet Potato Salad

Up your salad game: Nektarinen-Süßkartoffelsalat mit Ahornsirup-Senf-Dressing, cremiger Avocado, knusprigen Pinienkernen und frischem Spinat oder Salat. Der perfekte Sommersalat für Grillabende und unterwegs. Warm und kalt ein Genuss. Rezept und Foodstyling: Purple Avocado / Sabrina Dietz

I am a total salad snob. One of the main reasons why I never order salad in restaurants is that I do not consider saggy lettuce, cucumber and tomato with – if you’re lucky – some onions, corn and ONE olive a proper meal (the second reason is that those ‘salads’ often cost a fortune, […]

Vegan Berry Cake

An ethnic recipe for a vegan berry cake freely adapted from a recipe of the Ethno Cookbook by Karolina Przybylska with lots of fresh berrys and maple syrup.

Now that I have reviewed the Ethno Cookbook and equipped you with a savory wild rice patty recipe  it’s high time for something sweet, don’t you think? Oh yeah! So every year when the wild berry season begins there’s no stopping me. While my fruit intake is rather poorly during the winter season – apples […]

Brownie Cheesecake from Ramona, the photographing, travelling Diabetic

Brownie Cheesecake Recipe - A juicy cheesecake topping with a chocolatey brownie base. Foodstyling by Purple Avocado

Today I want to present to you a person, with whom I’m somehow befriended. She is the proof that online friendships DO exist and that The Sims connects people. Ramona and I met indeed at an  online forum for the PC Game The Sims. Yes, back in the day I was a little ‘mono-gamer’  (sims 2 […]

Crunchy oven Fries with two vegan dips

So werden die Pommes im Ofen garantiert knusprig. Super knusprige Ofenpommes mit zweierlei veganen Dips mit Avocado, Cashewkernen, Hefeflocken und Wasabi. Foodfotografie und Foodstyling von Purple Avocado.

„Fries before Guys“ or – an ode to self love This is not a Valentines Day post. The day that I publish a klichee valentines recipe has yet to be invented. Hearts and pink sugar icing are just not my thing and will never be. This being my first Valentines Day not being single doesn’t […]

Fried sweet potato, smoked tofu & spinach

On Purple Avocado it's all about homemade, vegan ketchup this time. A 3 ingredient ketchup. To this we're adding fried sweet potato with spinach, garlic and smoked tofu. This is a salty, fruity and creamy dish garnished with tomato and avocado. Foodstyling, highkey, Sabrina Dietz

Today you get a recipe I didn’t think would end up on this blog. Surely this is not because it’s not good or hard to make. Not in the slightest. No, this is one of my favourite dishes, especially when I need some variety on my plate. The combination of fresh tomato, creamy avocado, fried […]
