Hello and welcome to mini interview number 10!!! This week’s featured artist is Tinee Häcker, formerly known as Tinee Kleinschroth. I admire her linoprints and collages, for their combination of classic and cute, witty and wise. But see for yourself :-)

Hi, my name is Tinee. I am a printmaking artist living and working in Stuttgart, Germany.

When I was a kid I desperately wanted to win the annual cherry pit spitting contest

against my grandpa. He always cheated. And won, of course.

Today I wonder that you can buy cherries even in December.

When I’m stuck in a project I go outside my garden and chat with the

birds. Sometimes they talk too much, though.

I want to learn to have no fear.

Cake for breakfast makes me happy.

mini interview #10:Tinee Häcker
this is my recipe for Apfelkuchen/apple pie (like my Mom makes it)

100-125g butter

125 g sugar

2-3 eggs (depending on egg size)

a little bit of salt

4 drops of lemon oil

200g flour

6g baking soda

1-4 spoons of milk

500-750g of apples


I love this apple pie, as it is sweet, juicy and lemony fresh all at once. Simple, but fancy ;)

mix the butter, sugar and eggs until they’re foamy, than add flour and milk and rest of ingredients.

mix well and pour into a round, buttered form. Peel apples and cut them into quarters, then carve them stripe-wise like a fan (see photo!). put them on the dough, slightly press them in. bake for 40-50 minutes at 175-200° degrees. After cooling add some powdered sugar on top. Guten Appetit!
