Persistent cravings – Anise almond biscotti

December 10, 2017 by nadel&gabel

Anise. For weeks I’ve been craving anise. Don’t ask why, I don’t really know myself. Yes, we’re getting closer to Christmas, but spontaneously I have cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, vanilla, allspice in my mind when thinking about Christmas, not anise first of all. Actually, for most of my life I hated the whole flavour spectrum of anise, liquorice, fennel! Anyhow, this craving persisted! Every now and then I browsed Pinterest for things to bake or cook. Nothing really got me, was […]

Into the Krauts – Golden and red Sauerkraut

November 19, 2017 by nadel&gabel

5 1/2 years of food blogging and quite some more of cooking … it took such a long time for me to attempt one of the most iconic German dishes, Sauerkraut. The ‘Krauts‘ – the view from outside doesn’t leave any doubts. Although Germans weren’t the first that developed the idea of lacto-fermented cabbage. I, for my share, have made already a few experiences with wild fermentation – homemade yoghurt, Kimchi ,water kefir -, learned about the health benefits, especially for digestion and […]

An ode to dear friends – Crêpes with chard and a twist

October 15, 2017 by nadel&gabel

To you chard, my loyal friend. Once – through out my childhood and youth – I neglected you. I apologize, I deeply regret this! Today I know that I just didn’t know you that well, didn’t know you at all. I only met you in two ways: as a green-brown pulp that was said to ressemble creamed spinach (but did only vaguely, of course) and in form of thick thready stalks of indifferent taste that were hidden away in a […]

Culinary heritage – Vegetarian Soljanka

September 23, 2017 by nadel&gabel

Soljanka – a hearty dish that was omnipresent on our trip through Saxony, Brandenburg and Thuringia. It probably is the best known Russian soup besides Borschtsch. It’s popular all around Eastern Europe and exists in uncountable variations. In Germany the popularity basically is limited to the eastern part of the country. 40 years of separation into two different states left its traces – by far not only, but as well in terms of culinary traditions. Due to ‘socialist brotherhood’ a […]

For divas – Bolos lêvedos and a true Azorean burger

June 15, 2017 by nadel&gabel

On our first visit to the supermarket – I love to visit supermarkets when away – on São Miguel those round buns that looked like muffins catched my eyes and a bag went into our cart … and so on the other day, and the following… It was after a few days, that we realized, that we indeed unintentionally grabbed one of the typical Azorean dishes, bolos lêvedos. Precisely they come from São Miguel island, more precisely from the town of […]

São Miguel I: Ponta Delgada – Point of intersection

June 6, 2017 by nadel&gabel

After the last busy weeks that followed our trip to São Miguel I found some time to go through and edit my photos. So, finally I can give you some impressions of this beautiful island in the middle of the Atlantic. I fully realized that we were approaching a tiny archipelago in the middle of nowhere on our flight to the Azores when we mostly saw … water. Flying along São Miguel’s south coast, then landing on the small airport […]

The flavour of Christmas – Yeasted waffles Panettone style

December 22, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Before this blog goes into a little Christmas break and I fully immerse into real life with family, presents, a lot of game dishes, cookies, sweet liqueur,… I have a last recipe for this year left for you – obviously Christmas inspired. It’s warm crisp waffles and (kind of) Panettone or Christstollen, all in one! Hooray for Christmas! I boroughed the waffle base from Molly‘s challah waffles recipe, itself an adaption on the classic Belgian Gaufre de Liège. They’re pillowy soft, buttery […]

Flavour horizons – Homemade spice blends

December 15, 2016 by nadel&gabel

 This year, my Christmas presents – yes, almost done – are a bit more on the (online) store bought side than on team DIY. Not by concept, it just happened. Nevertheless you won’t find a gift guide on this blog. I don’t think anyone needs another one. What you’ll find here – like every year – is some inspiration for homemade Christmas presents. One of my homemade presents is this set of spice blends. I chose three of my favourite […]

Interactive – Kumpir with red cabbage slaw and muhammara

December 3, 2016 by nadel&gabel

I guess food posts around here have become a bit heavy on the sweet side lately. Although in every day life of course I cook way more savoury dishes than sweet ones. So why is it? There are a lot of extensively tested and approved recipes, delicious, healthy (mostly), perfected and variated, but they haven’t found their way on this blog. I’m withholding them, something always detains me from posting them. Not special enough, no exceptional ingredient, unspectacular look … not worth […]
