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 […]

Winter cravings – Deep dish corn pizza with kale, bacon and gorgonzola

November 15, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Kale. During the last years when kale recipes spread the food blogger universe I started to appreciate this kind of cabbage. Actually, before all this, I think I haven’t ever eaten kale at all. There is this traditional Northwestern German dish called “Grünkohl mit Pinkel” – but here in the South – you wouldn’t have found kale on a farmer’s market in November … until this hype began… I never enjoyed kale cooked into a mash in this traditional German way. But I […]

Mediterranean fusion – Empanadas with chard and feta cheese

October 26, 2014 by nadel&gabel

At least during my whole childhood chard was one of the most hated veggies. I only knew it as substitute for spinach, blended and eaten with potatoes. Grrr…. Then for a long time I  abandonded chard from my kitchen and table. After years of chardlessness I gave this green a new chance. And what can I say? It convinced me! Cause what I discovered now: Chard is so versatile. It cuts a fine finger in asian stir-fry dishes as well […]

Embrace autumn – Squash galette with gorgonzola and sage

September 28, 2014 by nadel&gabel

After realizing and accepting the end of summer, I’m now trying to embrace autumn and its seasonal produce. Sweet-nutty butternut squash is the star of this savoury galette. It’s accompagnied by one of the greatest flavour combinations: gorgonzola and sage. A umami herby bitter combo … that is on heavy rotation in our kitchen these days 😉 I also happened to have some bacon in the house and added a few slices of this as well – for an additional […]

Even more spring herbs and veggies – Pizza with asparagus, spring onions, wild garlic, arugula and smoked ham

April 3, 2014 by nadel&gabel

It’s still spring! It’s warm outside, the trees are covered in white and pale green and as I walk along the woods, I can clearly smell garlic now. Wild garlic. A few years ago everything had to be wild garlic or arugula – a food trend that stopped at nothing. Me included… Unavoidably I got tired of wild garlic pesto, wild garlic oil,… fed up with arugula leaves here, arugula leaves there. But I’ve overcome this stage as well – […]

Herbivore – Spring quiche with fresh herbs

March 23, 2014 by nadel&gabel

When did all the spring herbs, veggies and fruits grow? It appears that out of a sudden cabbages, roots, pears and apples had to make room for spring onions, wild garlic, asparagus, strawberries and rhubarb on our local farmers market. Not that I have a problem with it – I love it! I am definitely ready for this change – I could jump for joy! So, let’s stop talking and start embracing spring – by packing its full herbal power […]

Summer on your plate – Pizza with chicken, peaches, goat cream cheese, thyme & honey

August 6, 2013 by nadel&gabel

I’ve counted: this is the third pizza recipe on this blog. No other dish is so present here (If you also count tarte flambée, it’s the fifth). However, when you consider how often we eat pizza, this is actually not very much. In fact, about once a week it’s a What-should-I–cook–today-oh-let’s-make-pizza-day. Although a lot of people find baking pizza frightening and complicated, I think it’s one of fastest, easiest and most versatile dishes. Cause I make pizza on such a […]

Cornucopia of nature and tarte flambée with figs and bacon

September 10, 2012 by nadel&gabel

Late summer/autumn and me – our relationship gets closer and closer. When I was younger, autumn for me was the beginning of the end. Summer and school holidays were over, I saw the cold winter coming. The warm autumn afternoons just reminded me of the oh so warmer summer days, the beautiful coloured trees were just a sign of decay.

Hot like the Calabrian sun – Pizza with nduja, pecorino and rocket

May 23, 2012 by nadel&gabel

This blog post is dedicated to a single glorious product, a Calabrian sausage speciality called nduja. “A sausage? Your making a fuss about a sausage?!” – Yes, because nduja is so much more than a simple sausage (And as a German I know what I am talking about):
