Foraging and finding – Fir tip honey

May 6, 2018 by nadel&gabel

Long time no see, he? Yes, this has been a quiet place for a long time, although this doesn’t mean that I haven’t cooked, knitted or sewed. But priorities had shifted during the last months. After our movement we were busy making our house a home. And then came April… oh, this extraordinary warm summer-like April, and most of I could think of was our garden. We did a lot of unweeding, sowing and planting. We furnished our terrace, build […]

Pulse – Spring pasta with peas, ricotta and lemon

May 14, 2017 by nadel&gabel

Except from our – magnificent – trip to São Miguel (dispatch to follow) during our Easter holidays, there has been a lot of work going on here right now in ‘real life’, while my digital life has shifted to Instagram mostly these days. This won’t be the beginning of a lenghty complaint, but an explanation: My recreational program these days mostly consists of some knitting in the evening and short walks in the sun in the afternoon – in case it […]

Kefi in da house – Water kefir lemonade with peach and hibiscus flower

July 31, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Since a few months we have a pet living with us: His name is Kefi, he is a water kefir. He wants to be fed regularly with sugar and dried fruits. But he is open for different flavour additions, too: fresh fruit, herbs, spices, tea,… A very open minded pet! Sometimes he rests in the fridge. When we wake him up again, he is a bit sleepy at the beginning, but then he fully starts working again. And he is working a […]

A secret green juice – Wiesensaft

April 24, 2016 by nadel&gabel

As I promised – which is already two weeks ago now – I wanted to introduce you to the secrets of “Wiesensaft” (meadow juice). Yes, you heard right. I was sceptic, too, when I saw the green liquid in the bottle that stood on the breakfast buffet at the Miramonte hotel. But curiosity won and I filled a small sip into my glas … and I came back to the buffet, and once again. I loved the fresh aromatic taste […]

Wholesome – Onigiri with tuna filling

November 29, 2015 by nadel&gabel

“Muss ich immer alles müssen, was ich kann?” (Do I always have to do things cause I can do?) – No, I guess, we don’t have to. Too often we think, that there’s no other way, we feel obliged to people, traditions, to-do-lists. But when we pause, when we refuse all the must’s, ignore the pile of work for a while, postpone tidying up the apartment and decorating for christmas, when we do mostly nothing, or only the things we […]

Shake, shake, shake… – Crispy oven roasted potatoes

November 8, 2015 by nadel&gabel

“Oven roasted potatoes? Are you serious? You want to tell us how to bake potatoes? Let me guess: You… bake… potatoes?!” I know, I know,… but wait! For long – actually for most of my life – the carbs of my choice always were pasta. You’ll never ever find our kitchen without a bag of penne and a can of tomatoes. My survival kit! But lately they find a strong competitor in potatoes, especially prepared this way. In fact, since weeks […]

Shades of green – A spring feast

April 29, 2015 by nadel&gabel

*sigh* … When it comes to work load this is about the hardest time of the year… gritting one’s teeth, struggling through is the name of the game. Under these adverse conditions I am especially happy that we could find the time for a lovely gathering with friends – to celebrate friendship, good food, spring… and my birthday – to let work be work and enjoy the moment. In my mind I had my favourite season spring and its omnipresent […]

Sweet simplicity – Dutch hangop

April 18, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Of course – like it is good tradition on this blog – my report from our short trip to Amsterdam is only complete with a corresponding recipe. After our dinner at Moeders, where we ate ourself through a menu of traditional Dutch dishes, it was soon clear that I was tending towards the sweet side, but would it be waffles, poffertjes,…? … I finally made my mind – and hangop. Probably the most easiest, but non the less delicious and […]

Creamy herbed spaghetti & Uli’s secret to cooking pasta

March 22, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Lately I visited my friend Ulrike and at noon when we sat together for a quick lunch – a pot of pasta and a good pesto – I had this moment of enlightenment: For the first time I was realizing that her pasta always tasted better than mine, that it had this special flavour that turned even the simplest pasta dish into something extraordinary. … It turned out to be a simple leave of laurel that she is cooking with […]
