We call it a Klassiker – German Cherry Cheesecake

July 19, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Phew! The heat waves that reached Germany throughout the last weeks really turned me into a phlegmatic sloth! The days got a new rhythm, I tried to move as little as possible,  and fed mainly on melon and salads. No way to put on the oven in our top floor apartment! But then for a few days, temperatures sank to a – kind of – normal level. And I had to quickly bake a cake. The cherries on the market […]

Sensuality – Poppy seed marzipan waffles with warm sour cherries

November 15, 2014 by nadel&gabel

Comfort food  is what I am craving these days that are mostly grey and rainy … cause food can be so much more than just nutrition: it’s not only the contemplating effect during the process of preparing, food can revive your senses, bring your soul back into balance!

Enwrapped sweetness – Cherry dumplings

June 30, 2013 by nadel&gabel

The berry and fruit season has begun and like every year I have the tendency to be kind of paralyzed by the great selection of fruits and recipes that come my way. Cake, ice cream, dessert, salad, canning, … where do I start? In my helplessness I came back to my childhood recipe that I first of all associate with summer and fruits: dumplings!… I can see my grandmother standing in the kitchen and forming dumplings, that have previously been […]
