Welcome to Boston & USA

Boston’s great, and so is the US. We simply love it here. It’s convenient, it kind of has the best from everywhere. It successfully merged Burger with Fajitas with Thai Food. Wouldn’t trade it for anything, plus, it’s always just a short trainride away from almost-abroad Chinatown and Li’l Italy. And probably from Li’l Vienna, someday. Until then, let’s focus on the true American kitchen, enjoy delicious Apple Pie and Meat Loaf.

Tall Blueberry Muffins (Bakery Style)

October 6, 2023

I considerer these to be the perfect blueberry muffins. The texture of the muffins is super soft and light, the taste is fruity with hints of butter and vanilla.

Super chocolaty, chewy and fudgy poppy seed brownies, Austrian-style. These brownies contain ground poppy seeds, which make them moist and rich and simply delicious!

Austrians love poppy seeds. At least the majority does. So it doesn’t come as a surprise that there are a lot of dishes – sweet and savory – based on poppy seeds. That’s why I call them Austrian-style brownies :)
