Miniature sized cupcakes are a whole lot of cute. I called these mini stunners 'autumn aura' because if autumn were a pallet of flavours, that of this cupcakes would be there, side by side with roasted chestnuts and pear compote. Behold the beauty of these tiny things, the dash of coconut on top lending them a snowish appeal. Bite into the delicious balance between a moist peppery pumpkin cake and a thick vanilla cream cheese frosting. And you wanna know what...? They are also gluten-free.

it's freaking snowing on my brunch. { gluten-free pumpkin kaiserschmarrn }
Kaiserschmarrn is a staple dessert in Austria and South Germany, where it recalls sweet memories from a day out skiing in the Alps. Basically a fluffy pancake that is shredded, caramelized, dusted with powdered sugar and typically served with plum or apple compote, it got its name from Kaiser Franz Joseph I of Austria, for his love of it. I am not Kaiser Franz Joseph, but I also love it. I had already had the though of making pumpkin pancakes this satuday, but some enlightenment suddenly came to me that this was what I ought to make: pick a famous recipe and turn it around by tossing pumpkin into it. And here it is. Kaiserschmarrn... reinvented!

Eins { veal stew with carrots and mushrooms }
With traditional flavours from my home country, this veal stew is uncomplicated and very tasty. You should definitely buy good quality veal and seal it well in the beginning as to obtain the best results. When done right, veal meat cooks itself to be very tender and in this dish that goes just right with the sweetness of the carrots.

After Sunday... { using leftover roasted pork. with mushroom carrot sauce and turnip greens pasta }
A tasty idea to use that leftover Sunday pork loin roast over the week. The sweetness of the carrots balances the smokey taste of roast, turning these meat slices into a brand new dish that does not taste like leftovers.
