Gebrannte Mandeln, also known asalmendras garrapiñ Gebrannte Mandeln, also known asalmendras garrapiñadas in Spain, are the Christmas market classic you smell before you even see it. But instead of paying 4–6€ for 100g, you can make them at home for so much lessThese caramelised almonds taste just like the ones from the German Christmas markets, and they take only 15 minutes to make.Ingredients (for ~160g almonds):160 g almonds (raw) 140 g sugar 75 ml water 1 tsp cinnamon 1 pinch salt 1 sachet vanilla sugarMethod:1. Add all ingredients to a pan. Turn the heat to medium (not high, sugar burns fast!). 2. Stage 1: The liquid will bubble and thicken during the first ~5 minutes. 3. Stage 2: Sugar crystallises and turns into a sandy coating, don’t panic, keep stirring! (~5 minutes) 4. Stage 3: The sugar will remelt and turn into a shiny caramel glaze. You can stop earlier if you prefer the sandy version. 5. Transfer the almonds onto baking paper, spread them out, let them cool, and break into clusters. #gebranntemandeln #almonds #christmasmarket #recipereel #christmasrecipes
RECIPE in the comments👇German Hash Browns (Reibe RECIPE in the comments👇German Hash Browns (Reibekuchen / Kartoffelpuffer), but make them at home!If you’ve ever been to a Christmas market in Germany, you’ve surely seen these golden, crispy potato pancakes served with Apfelmus (applesauce).Traditionally, the sweetness balances the savoury potatoes, but I’ll be honest… the combo wasn’t for me. 🙈 I’ll stick to sour cream. 😂Still, Reibekuchen are delicious and so easy to make at home. Super crispy, comforting, and perfect for cozy Christmas recipes or winter evenings.Have you tried Kartoffelpuffer with applesauce? Love it or… not your thing either? 😅👇
If you’re an expat, read this.After almost 4 yea If you’re an expat, read this.After almost 4 years of living abroad, I finally felt the need to make this video. I had tears in my eyes while recording the voiceover, and I don't care about reach or views, also I don't really care that my cozonac (traditional Romanian cake) doesn't look the best and I also have a "fake" ie (Romanian blouse)😆.My message matters here and it carries my whole journey, my identity, and my healing.Moving abroad has been the most life-changing experience of my life. It taught me resilience, it taught me gratitude, and most of all… it taught me to love Romania in a way I never could when I lived there.This reel is for all Romanians/expats far from home, for those who left searching for “something better,” only to realize that the good and the bad exist everywhere… and that what truly matters is who you are and how you carry your roots with you.La mulți ani, România. La mulți ani, români de pretutindeni. May we always find our way back, even when “back” is in our hearts. 🇷🇴 #romania #nationalday #1decembrie #cozonac #expatlife
It's my Name Day today. La mulți ani tuturor! In R It's my Name Day today. La mulți ani tuturor! In Romania, Name Days are celebrated just like birthdays. We gather with family, call loved ones, and of course… we bake something delicious.Today I made cozonac, Romania’s most beloved festive dessert. It's a sweet brioche filled with walnuts & cocoa and reminds me of childhood.🇷🇴 Why St. Andrew (Sfântul Andrei) is special in Romania: It marks the beginning of winter traditions, good luck rituals, and ancient customs that go back centuries. One of my favourites? Planting wheat (grâu) on the night of November 30th. The way the wheat grows is believed to reflect the year ahead: strong growth means health, abundance, and good fortune.#romanianfood #romanianculture #romanianabroad #expatingermany #expat #nameday Do you celebrate Name Day in your country?
