Hamburg photo dump, summer/kitchen edition. Sure, we had some summer this year, but mostly in short, humid spurts interspersed with long periods of cool, gray rain. That was outside, however; in reality the summer just hung out in the kitchen all season long. But first: a couple field trips -- a friend worked on a wonderful organic/demeter farm on the outskirts of the city for several months and gave me a tour.
Good luck with weather on an evening stroll downtown, including feathery family happenings.
Another friend grows the most beautiful tomatoes in Hamburg and keeps me and my work colleagues well-stocked throughout the summer months. This means that there is a major sampling of tomato recipes while the time is ripe, such as this cheesy polenta tarte or my favorite savory tomato cobbler.
Naturally there were many, many berries and other seasonal fruits to pass through the Baumhaus, such as those displayed on this 4th of July cake, baked and styled by Jules on a historically hot day of 99°, and in plenty of other pies, cookies, muffins, and cakes.
Additionally, chocolate peanut butter brownies.
The sky put on a pretty nice show between storms, such as those skyskapes displayed here.
Step outside the kitchen, however, and we're back to this.
Darlin child, where did you learn to cook like that? I gained 15 pounds just reading the entry! No wonder "summer" and "summer" rhyme so well! Thank you!
