Seasonal cooking · since 2024

recipes that follow the season

No asparagus in November, no strawberry cake in February. We cook with whatever is around right now — and write down what actually worked.

Most recipe sites are sorted by course — starter, main, dessert. This one is sorted by month. It sounds like a small thing, but it changes everything: what sits on the market stall in October costs half as much, tastes twice as good, and needs far less help from the spice drawer.

Every recipe here was on our own table at least twice before it went online. Whatever failed to convince on the second go does not appear at all.

Plum cake in a dark tin with one slice removed, fresh plums beside it
Baking plum cake on a rye base

The rye makes the base drier and sharper, so the fruit keeps its own sweetness.
