Amongst likeminded – Foodbloggercamp Reutlingen 2016

March 8, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Much has be written about the third Foodbloggercamp that took place at Marcus Schneiders “Cooking Concept” in Reutlingen. Do we need another retrospective? I decided to make it short, to give a few impressions of my view on the weekend and the great people I met during those two intensive days. For me it was one of little occasions that I come together with foodbloggers in real life. In the run-up the uncertainity came again: Will we get along? Do we […]

Pause and move

January 1, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Now here it is – the new year – with all its unwritten stories, plans, expectations and hopes… We started the new year the way we ended the now gone 2014 – in a slowed down and relaxed rhythm that you can truly follow only during this peculiar period “between the years”. This time the sudden – although not unexpected – onset of winter intensified this feeling of a temporary standstill. Like if nature wanted to tell us to decelerate, […]

Foodblogs I love: Krautkopf

October 22, 2014 by nadel&gabel

The German foodblog Krautkopf by Susann and Yannic I can’t deny that I am a visual person and food photography that tells a story or is able to express a specific mood is important for captivating me in the long run. No wonder that the moody and artful but in the same time reduced pictures of Susann and Yannic caught me. But then a food blog is not only about pictures – the recipes have to convince me as well. […]

Food blogs I love: Chestnut & Sage

October 8, 2014 by nadel&gabel

After a break that got longer than intended I’d like to introduce to you again some of my favourite food blogs and – what is even more important – the people behind the scene, their approach to cooking, the role of food and blogging in their life. This time I am proud to welcome Julia from Chestnut&Sage. When I clicked back to the oldest post of Chestnut&Sage I realized that I am indeed following this blog since its existance … […]

Not saving the world … but at least planting a tree

August 3, 2014 by nadel&gabel

If I am reflecting my life – my approch to comsumption, to live, my everday routines – during the last years I can definitely see a growth in consciousness. It’s about appreciating the priceless things in life that are indeed so invalueable (In some way I had to learn it the hard way.). It’s about reflecting me as a consumer, setting more value on healthy, ecological, fair produce, thinking about the necessity of habits, trying to re- or upcycle things […]

Summer salad inspiration – and a forced break

July 20, 2014 by nadel&gabel

Sweet Corn, Peach, and Cherry Salad with Creamy Goat Cheese and a Lime Dressing – The Flourishing Foodie I could have prepared some blog posts in advance for the time when my camera is under repair … too much additional organisation effort at the moment. So – while my camera is in rehab, back home at the Nikon family, I have a collected some summer salad ideas for you around the web. They’re all from some of my favourite food […]

A piece of me and a some explanations

May 3, 2012 by nadel&gabel

A piece of me [“ein stück ich”] is this weeks theme of the Beauty-is-were-you-find-it-project. It made me reach the decision to give – after nearly a year of blogging – some explanation about pieces of me you won’t see on my blog:

Font love

January 14, 2012 by nadel&gabel

 During the last months I’ve downloaded a bunch of fonts to pretty up my blog. I also use them to design christmascards, tags and labels for homemade goods as well as work sheets for my pupils (although that is not much appreciated ;-)).

Thank you!

December 31, 2011 by nadel&gabel

The last hours of 2011 are here and before this year full of work, tension and major decisions is over, I have to say a big “Thank you” to you, the (small number of) readers of my blog that I started in April this year. I wish you all a fabulous year 2012 and hope you will enjoy following my cooking and crafting adventures!
