It’s becoming a tradition – Soul food weekend

July 8, 2014 by nadel&gabel

In the woods … yes it is again this (and this) remote place in the palatine forest the middle of nowhere where we spend again two days of cooking, baking, eating, relaxing, celebrating with a bunch of friends … surely by now it’s becoming a tradition. The idea of our cooking and baking was to use the ingredients as starting point: No concrete plans, but inspiration. Zucchini, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, peaches, berries … what can make out of these […]

Above it all – a summer picnic

July 10, 2013 by nadel&gabel

Summer has finally arrived! And what would be a summer without evenings in the open air? Last weekend we decided to spend our summer evening at one of our favourite places around the town, on a nearby hill. The way up there is quite steep and on my way up I regularly curse my idea to walk up there, but once arrived on the top …  you have such an amazing view over the whole town; surrounded only by some […]

Eating tarte in the woods

June 14, 2013 by nadel&gabel

Of course, I couldn’t resist to get involved in all the cooking and baking. It’s always fun to work in the kitchen with our friend Marcus, who turns into a real pro when it comes to baking. For the afternoon coffee time we made some brioche and simple […]

Between rural tranquility and modernity – Discovering southern Lower Saxony

August 28, 2012 by nadel&gabel

I am back home again – at least from my longer trips this summer. The last two weeks now I spend in the far north, at least in what southern Germans see as the far north. In many cultural aspects – food is of course a not unimportant one – Southern Germany is more similar to Austria or Swizerland than to the Northern Germany. Perhaps this can’t be sayed to be a rule, but for me Vienna f.ex. feels more […]
