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 […]

At its peak – Summer chicken salad

August 13, 2017 by nadel&gabel

This summer somehow is an up and down. Grey, rainy and rather cold were the last days. It seemed like autumn already was entering the field. But like so often this summer the warming sun broke through the clouds, fought her way back. And her light pushed aside all the grey. I always feel that this time of summer is a double-edged sword. It’s on its peak, the plenty of ripe fruits and vegetables is overwhelming. Now they’re best, juicy […]

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. […]

Hybrid – Udon salad with tofu

August 27, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Weariness and laziness are creeping in. It’s probably the heat (Who would have believed that we would have such a series of hot summer days at the end of August once again?), while already the first signs of autumn are visible. The prospect of a regular schedule of work that is coming closer again, the slightly rising pressure to get started again. Fatigue and melancholy. Somewhere in between… …like this salad which is kind of a hybrid between Heidis famous otsu […]

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 […]

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 […]

N’ice … cream with roasted apricots and caramelized almonds

July 9, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Yes, it really has become quiet around here the last weeks (and I know that I said this before). Let’s call it an inspirational low point combined with a lot of real life to deal with. Anyway, I am here again, hopefully more regularly again from now on.  Probably you’ve heard already about “n’ice cream”, this summer’s hot shit around the raw-vegan-natural-clean-eating-scene. The idea is to create ice cream without artificial, processed ingredients and instead use as a base frozen […]

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 […]
