About

Hi there! I’m Maike. Thank you for stopping by and exploring some of my favorite recipes. I so am excited you’re here!

I began to photograph restaurant food when I got the iPhone 3GS. People always stared at me. That was then.
Favorite Dessert: German Lemon Cake
Favorite Salad: Oma’s Cucumber Salad
I love good ice cream – all year long.

I dropped out of law school because I fell in love with a guy. That was 1997. I married him and he will always be my best decision..
My husband shares amazing renovation tips here.
We have a cockapoo named Riley. And love him to pieces.
One of my step-sons is an outstanding video producer.
I was born in 1977. In Germany.
I am dyslexic. You might find typos! You will find them. 🙂
Maike is a Dutch/German derivative of Mary. It’s pronounced ‘My-kuh’. Siri doesn’t get it.
