I totally love this recipe for German Apple Pancake, the so-called Apfelpfannkuchen. It is very simple to make even my 8-year-old son can make and has low flour and low sugar content. It is delicious and not so fattening actually. I got this recipe from an old acquaintance from Germany and it is apparently authentic.

The importance of Valentine is totally overrated. In this piece you can find my suggestions for home-made Valentine themed family meals.
Valentine’s Day comes from an old tradition linked to both agriculture and religion. Traditionally, Spring begins on 14th February which celebrates St Valentine’s Day and in which it is said that birds choose their mates. In some parts of Britain the 14th February used to be known as ‘the Birds’ Wedding Day’. While when the modern tradition started, it was quite thought-provoking and romantic, now it has become too commercial and over the top. It is shocking that every year Brits spend around £503m on cards, flowers, chocolates and other gifts for Valentine’s Day.
