This hot summer weather calls for light and cold dishes. Just like this refreshing honeydew melon and fennel salad with pistachios. It so delicious and will keep you cool in this heat. The pairing of fennel and melon is really amazing. There’s the cold sweetness of the honeydew melon paired with the aroma of fennel. Pistacchios add some crunch and a bit of aleppo pepper adds some a bit of spice. This recipe is really simple and a perfect summer lunch or serve it as a side to your summer bbq. It will definitely wow your dinner guests! Make sure to buy a firm and ripe honeydew melon and a smaller size fennel bulb. I prefer using ready roasted and salted pistachios for some extra salty flavour. As you know from some of my other recipes, I love using Aleppo pepper. Basically Aleppo pepper is dried chili without the pips. I usually buy it on my favourite market here in Hamburg but you can buy it online, here for example!

The recipe is not only perfect for all fructosefree foodies, also if you are on a healthy diet. It’s full of vitamins and minerals and will give you a little health boost in this summer heat.

I would love to see your take on this recipe! Just comment at the bottom of the page or tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag.

We are in the middle of chanterelle season and I’m just getting started with my amazing Pfifferling recipes. We all know how to cook traditional chanterelle recipes like chanterelle goulash, risotto or pasta with chanterelles. So I would like to give you an inspiration how you are going to use your precious finds from the forrest. One of my favourite summer dishes is Panzanella, a traditional bread salad with tomatoes from Tuscany. It’s the base for my mediterranean chanterelle and Brezen Panzanella with heriloom tomatoes. Instead of ciabatta I used Brezen made from lye dough.  I love the combination of chanterelles, tomatoes and good quality olive oil. I’ve use 4 different kinds of heirloom tomatoes, all from my balcony garden! If you don’t have tomatoes from your own garden, try to buy ripe and tasty tomatoes. Same with olive oil, buy some good quality olive oil which you use for salads and stuff. It makes a huge difference!

I would love to see your pics, so share your take on this Pfifferling Brezen Panzanella or any other of my recipes! Tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag.

I’ve seen this vegan carrot lox online for a while, so when I started experimenting in April with my food blog I’ve been giving this recipe a try. And let me tell you, after a few improvements and add-ons to the recipe, it tastes delicious! Of course, carrots will never ever taste like salmon but all the ingredients and the way the carrots it will remind you of smoked salmon. It’s pretty easy to make and at first sight people won’t see the difference to a smoked salmon lox bagel.

I’ve quick pickled thin slices of carrots with a mixture of vinegar, olive oil, salt, ginger, lemon and liquid smoke. This liquid smoke is definitely the secret ingredient and will do the trick. You only use small amounts of it to get the smokey taste. Liquid smoke is a concentrate made from the actual smoke of hickory wood. I’ve been using Stubb’s Hickory Liquid Smoke and it’s perfect for this recipe! Top your classic cream cheese bagel with this vegan lox, capers and dill and Bon Appetit!

Besides the amazing color, this raw beetroot, cucumber and blueberry smoothie is packed with a boost of vitamin C and antioxidants. It’s so good and a perfect breakfast or post-workout snack! It is sweet and creamy perfect for sipping away the summer heat. 

Whenever I use raw beets for my smoothies I usually press them with my juicer. So I only get the lovely beet juice and don’t have the junky bits in my drink. If that’s too much hassle just make sure you use a good, high-speed blender. If it’s not quite as smoothly as you’d like add a few ice cubes to thicken the smoothie, so has a slushy texture and will hide the little bits. 

Beetroot-Cucumber-Blueberry-Smoothie

Let’s starting this sunny day with this beetroot-cucumber-berry-smoothie. It’s so good and a perfect breakfast or post-workout snack!

  • 1-2 beet roots
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 0,5 cucumber
  • 1 tsp rice syrup (optional)
  • water or yoghurt if you like
  1. Place all of the ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth. Add the water or yoghurt a little at a time, until the smoothie has reached the desired consistency. If you want a thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice. Taste, and add a little rice syrup if you’d like it sweeter. 

  2. Note, if you don’t like the junky bits of the raw beet in your smoothie, use a juicer to press your beets and then add the juice to the rest of the ingredients and blend.
