“This is torture” he said.
This weekend I was baking for 2 events: The Kinfolk dinner and the NEXT organic fair in Berlin. Two events in one weekend meant no-sleep for me. And no sleep for my Boyfriend ether.

Bread made out of SALTWATER
Today is a gathering by Kinfolk in Berlin and I am sharing my bread with them. The theme is Ocean. For The Bread Exchange, this is probably the easiest theme they could have picked.

However I am having some concerns about one soup recipe which includes “buttermilk”. In Germany we have buttermilk but in Sweden we do not. We have a huge … Read More
