Crunchy – Nutola

February 12, 2018 by nadel&gabel

During the last year I’ve tried to reduce the amount of carbs I was eating. I avoided sugar nearly completely, cut down on grain products a lot. This wasn’t easy for me, lover of pasta and pizza. I didn’t do this change in eating routines doctrinaire – I hate to be dictated by someone or something. But it made me think eating and cooking from a different angle. I browsed the internet for low carb recipes for inspiration. What I […]

Interactive – Kumpir with red cabbage slaw and muhammara

December 3, 2016 by nadel&gabel

I guess food posts around here have become a bit heavy on the sweet side lately. Although in every day life of course I cook way more savoury dishes than sweet ones. So why is it? There are a lot of extensively tested and approved recipes, delicious, healthy (mostly), perfected and variated, but they haven’t found their way on this blog. I’m withholding them, something always detains me from posting them. Not special enough, no exceptional ingredient, unspectacular look … not worth […]

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 […]

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 […]

The simple pleasures – Oeufs en cocotte

March 1, 2015 by nadel&gabel

If you can’t answer the big questions, if it seams like nothing’s really moving forward – concentrate on the small things, the simple pleasures. Break out of stagnation and routine on a small scale …. that’s my resolution these days. These oeufs en cocotte – the very name makes them special – are such a small pleasure. They are the sophisticated version of your standard sunday breakfast eggs, without requiring much more preparation time. With fresh spinach and cress from […]
