"Ms. Peters, a blogger who lives in Berlin, draws on a mix of German and Mediterranean influences. That includes Malta, where she has family, inspiring the addition of orange peel in a bittersweet chocolate Bundt cake and blood oranges in a steaming bowl of mussels. Her sandwiches ... including one made with roasted cherry tomatoes and garlic: easy for lunch, suitable for hors d'oeuvres on little toast rounds, and alluring when assembled on long ciabatta breads for a party." — The New York Times " Eat in My Kitchen  is a wonderful selection of recipes, bursting with color, beauty, and flavor.
