Stay-at-home-dude Kitchen Tour 2013 - Karlsruhe

Hi Dudes, 

on monday I arrived in Karlsruhe. In 2002 I spent a couple of months in Karlsruhe and did an internship at Siemens and a small software company. So I am quite familiar with the city and made a short trip to the "Karlsruher Schloß" taking photos. Again with sunshine and blues skies - I am really lucky with the weather. I hope it goes on like this. 

I stayed for a couple of hours at my aunts place and she prepared a nice "Wurstsalat" - hmm yummy. After this we baked a cheesecake with red oranges. 

In the evening I traveled further to Ina and Andre.  There we made a pumpkin-paprika soup with garlic croutons and spinach-gnocchi with roasted pumpkin and spinach. I have never prepared homemade gnocchi before, I think it has worked quite well. Maybe a little bit more salt for the dough next time. As dessert we had a piece of the cheesecake we prepared at midday. You can find the recipes between the pictures below.  

We spend a cozy evening with wine, good food and music. Many thanks to my aunt Annedore and Ina and Andre for being great hosts on my tour. Next stop: Freiburg
