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 […]

… some more homemade ketchup variations

June 20, 2014 by nadel&gabel

After my first experiment in ketchup making – all of it already eaten or given away as presents – I made a second batch last weekend … or to be precise three variations on my basic recipe: a fruity one with apricots, … …a fresh herby one with green tomatoes, mango and coriander and … … a smoky BBQ ketchup with pimentón dulce ahumado and coffee. Amazing – all of them … and I am thinking already about new flavourful […]

My new love affair – Apricot marzipan scones

June 13, 2014 by nadel&gabel

This has been a hot week around here in Germany – with destructive thunderstorms as “side effects” … we could talk about climate change, and a lot could be said about this …  a lot could be said as well about the “side effects” of the Football Worldcup in Brasil. I won’t … where should I start?! Yes of course, I’ve watched the opening match last night. But I won’t join the chorus of enthusiasm. There won’t be any brazilian […]

Entering new culinary territories – Loquat jam

May 1, 2013 by nadel&gabel

My recent trip to the turkish supermarket not only led to the complement of my new spice rack, but also to a new discovery. It really wasn’t my first visit at the shop and I would call myself culinary interested, a foodie … but I hadn’t seen, tasted or known this fruit before … till it attracted my attention, although unimpressive at first sight. What is this? Would you have known? No, it is not an apricot … that would […]

Quick and healthy energy – Fruit and nut bars

October 24, 2012 by nadel&gabel

Have I told sometime about the huge amount of nuts and dried fruits I am munchin at work? They’re such a great first aid against sudden low sugar and something you can easily nibble in between while talking with colleagues, making copies, drinking coffee, running from room to room…
