Light Meals and Weekend Treats from an English Woman in Berlin
I first made these vegetarian burgers for a BBQ with a group of friends last summer. I had already planned some sausage rolls, a bacon tart and some beef skewers but then realized that I had not catered for my vegetarian friends! Even the biggest of meat lovers will love these burgers. We sat there on a warm sunny day, with a group of friends and everyone tucked into the burgers – vegetarian or not. It is a recipe for everyone….
Strawberry season has to be my favourite time of the year. They have summer written all over them. Which is why every year I make a big batch of strawberry jam. Not only is the jam more delicious than any supermarket kind, but when you dig into that jar of sweet strawberries on a cold winter’s day (this recipe will keep you stocked up throughout the cold months) you can think of the Berlin summer….
I love a good burger! Even Berlin has become better for it’s burgers this past year. We are no longer relying on The Bird for our burger fix. A favourite of mine is Tommi’s serving up delicious cheese burgers and I love the bun bao burgers at Royals and Rice.

I love the summer and feasting on a bit of al fresco dining! Banh Mi, Greek Style Mezze, Simple Greek Salad and Panzanella are all summer favourites of mine. There is certainly no room for hearty stews and standing over a load of pots and pans during the summer months! …
This is one of my favourite summer dishes and definitely one that I recommend for a hot day! It involves no standing over a load of hot pans and is very quick and easy to make. I keep the salad simple by just using some watercress or fresh rocket, some finely sliced cucumber and a handful of cherry tomatoes. I serve some fresh bread on the side. Alternatively this is a lovely starter for a dinner party!…
The sun sure is shining lately! I spent my weekend by the lakes and then cooling down with a cold beer in the Prater Garden in the evenings. And while the weather is starting to cool down it doesn’t mean that the BBQ weather is over for good this summer! …
This summer is already proving to be better weather wise compared to last year. The majority of July has been hot and sunny and it looks set to stay like this for at least the next couple of weeks! I shouldn’t complain, but the hot weather is getting just a little bit too hot now! We are set for 37 degrees over the weekend! This summer mezze platter is a great one for those warm weekends. Lots of different light things to eat that you can share with others. It is a great menu for a bit of al fresco dining this weekend on a warm evening!…
The sun sure is shining at the moment and summer is in full swing! I am loving my lunch breaks sat in the sunshine and the long warm summer evenings after work. I am not going to complain about this beautiful weather but it is certainly not the type of weather where you want to be standing over a load of hot pans! …
