So many lemons!

On August 18 it was time again for our cooking group in Laim to meet, cook and enjoy!

I personally was unfortunately not there but the group was so nice to bring me some beautiful lemon tiramisu to my home <3 <3 Thank you so much!

The lemon tiramisu, of course, also has a history. First the Lemon Curd was sold out in the Rewe and our team thought “Well, then we take Lemon Jelly”! I have no idea what to do with Lemon Jelly…is it a type of jelly? For bread?

The lemon jelly has not been used in the end because someone in the cooking group could make lemon curd itself! She also said that it is totally easy! (I think it saved the lemon tiramisu ;)) And so the team goes back to the Rewe extra lemons to buy!

What else was on the table?

There are chickpea wraps as a main course and side dish was a Spicy Avocado Mango Salad (also with 3.5 lemons :P).

Here are the recipes:
