I’m Krista, and I’m so glad you’re here! I think you’ll find my recipes to be straightforward, uncomplicated and unpretentious.
When it comes to the kitchen, my true passion is baking. I have been experimenting with baking ever since I was little. And almost as much as I love baking and eating, I love talking about it, reading about it and searching for new recipes to try. My favorite hangouts are Facebook and Pinterest.
I’m hoping to inspire people here in Austria and in other parts of the web world to cook and bake from scratch with recipes that are concise and accessible. That’s why I’m writing in both English and German (yes, that’s me writing in both languages!) and converting the recipes so you can use the measuring units you are most comfortable with.
I’m originally from Minnesota – I grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis and studied at a small town liberal arts college. I got my degree in Business Administration and French.
A lot of people want to hear how I met my husband and ended up living in Austria. I met my husband, who is Austrian, when he and I were both working for the Concordia Language Villages in Minnesota.
We’ve been together now for over 25 years, during which time three kids, a dog and a cat have joined our family. Fun fact: we live in the house my husband grew up in. It’s a great life!
If you have something you’d like to share with me or ask me, I’d love to hear from you! You can contact me here.
