Seasonal treat – Elderflower fritters

May 26, 2018 by nadel&gabel

Suddenly it was all white. Clouds of small white petals that look like snowflakes. And a sweet flowery scent was in the air. This scent that is so iconic for late spring/early summer and that we now have in our own garden! I’m very sensitive to the perception of odors. More than f.ex. my ear, my nose registers stimuli and connects them with certain images and memories.The smell of elderflower is closely linked with my childhood, a herald of summer […]

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 […]

Hydration – Watermelon cucumber granita

July 7, 2017 by nadel&gabel

Ok, it probably doesn’t go much easier than this “recipe”. But the summer heat is on again after a little break and what you definitely want to avoid is turning on the oven and spending too much time in a small kitchen. So watermelon in any way is the choice of the day. This granita basically multiplies the hydrating and refreshing effect of watermelon – turned into frozen crystals and upgraded by a splash of lime juice and some cucumber. […]

Hold out – Orange chocolate rolls

February 5, 2017 by nadel&gabel

You have to be attentive, look close, listen carefully. But then you will recognize them: The first signs of spring. They’re easily overlooked, but have you recognized the longer evenings, the beautiful red sunrises in the morning, the singing of the birds that get more voluminous each day, the scattered little flowers on the green? Not long anymore… But oh, these grey-in-grey rainy and foggy days in this late winter. Winter is in his last throes, nearly unbearable. It’s the […]

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 […]

Alien – Spiced cake bars

November 27, 2016 by nadel&gabel

   There are times, when I’m surrounded by a bubble that follows me wherever I go. It’s a shield that protects me at least to a certain extent from this crazy, disturbing place our world has become. It’s desperately needed to distance from all the hate an alienation that we’re faced with these days. It’s a wall, too: Invisible, but preventing full immersion, full connection with others. Always one step aside, an alien amongst groups of insiders. Do we have to resign, accept all […]

From the range – Molly’s sesame coffee cake with hawaij

November 13, 2016 by nadel&gabel

 One of my latest cook book purchases is “Molly on the range”. I still know exactly when I started to read Molly’s blog My name is Yeh: When she made caramels in the snow. I mean, how crazy funny is that?! The picture sticks to my mind and in many ways it characterizes her approach to cooking and baking: never too serious, always with fun and lots of sprinkles, not afraid of untraditional ways of preparing or combining ingredients. I guess, a lot […]

Soulwarming – Pear fritters with chocolate sauce à la Hélène

October 22, 2016 by nadel&gabel

On those autumn days when the colour of the sky only knows the monochromatic shades of grey (no reference) that are slowly creeping into your mood, the best thing you can do is cuddling into your wool blanket with a hot cup of tea… … and enjoy some food, that caresses your soul, brings coziness deep inside, brings warmth to your heart. It helps when chocolate is involved 😉 In this case I paired chocolate with one of my sweet […]

Simple, savoury, summer – Tomato galette

August 12, 2016 by nadel&gabel

  How can you walk past tomatoes these days on the farmers market? The choice is overwhelming – from the big Coeur de Boeuf to the small Black Zebra: every occasion and purpose, every taste finds its variety. And neither of them needs lots of special treatment. They’re best at this season as pure as they are. Some flakes of sea salt, perhaps a touch of herbs – in summer we don’t need to be complicated. This tomato galette is as […]
