Hold out – Orange chocolate rolls

February 5, 2017 by nadel&gabel

You have to be attentive, look close, listen carefully. But then you will recognize them: The first signs of spring. They’re easily overlooked, but have you recognized the longer evenings, the beautiful red sunrises in the morning, the singing of the birds that get more voluminous each day, the scattered little flowers on the green? Not long anymore… But oh, these grey-in-grey rainy and foggy days in this late winter. Winter is in his last throes, nearly unbearable. It’s the […]

Soulwarming – Pear fritters with chocolate sauce à la Hélène

October 22, 2016 by nadel&gabel

On those autumn days when the colour of the sky only knows the monochromatic shades of grey (no reference) that are slowly creeping into your mood, the best thing you can do is cuddling into your wool blanket with a hot cup of tea… … and enjoy some food, that caresses your soul, brings coziness deep inside, brings warmth to your heart. It helps when chocolate is involved 😉 In this case I paired chocolate with one of my sweet […]

Right on the doorstep – A culinary day trip to the Swabian Alb

February 12, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Retrospectively I think that it is really embarrassing that I did this only now. It took me 15 years that I am living here to explore what lies right under my nose, to go on a small foodie day trip around the corner. I am far away from being spontaneous, but this time it was a quick decision in the morning, some internet research where I wanted to go … and I was on my way to the Schwäbische Alb (Swabian Alb) planning to visit […]

As if… – Carob cake with dates

October 18, 2015 by nadel&gabel

As if… this cake was made with chocolate, but wait, it’s not chocolate but carob powder! I had long forgotten about this product. But when I stumbled across it in the baking section of our local organic supermarket, memories came back. Memories of carob milk that we drank as kids and that resembled a cup of hot chocolate. Wise mum, who knew that the powdered fruits of the carob tree were much healthier than cocoa: less fat, no caffeine. If it tasted […]

A little something – Homemade truffles and a DIY gift box

December 21, 2014 by nadel&gabel

Now it’s the time when you can count the days till the christmas holidays are finally here. And before I retreat solely to the analog world for a few days, enjoying time with my family and long not seen friends, here’s a last christmas gift idea, that you still can easily whip up in case of urgent gift shortage. I made this nice collection of truffles for some of my colleagues. But your neighbours, your postman, your aunts and uncles […]

What can be wrong with it? – Spicy chocolate cake with pear

November 1, 2014 by nadel&gabel

This post is about a chocolate cake, so there can’t be much wrong with it, eh? Especially as we are digging deeper into the cold season… The base of this cake comes from Izy. You don’t know her blog “Top with cinnamon” yet? Jump over and be convinced by her recipes, pictures and words. Since she has just released her first cookbook, her recipes are spreading the food blog scene recently and her version of a Swedish chocolate cake seams […]

So nuts – Hazelnut cocoa energy bites

August 6, 2014 by nadel&gabel

A few days and Sweden will welcome us for holiday! It’s now about washing the last machines of clothes, making stacks around the appartment with things we want to take with us, watering the plants, … This time I also prepared a healthy travel snack for the two of us. I for my part always need to have a little energy snack at hand (f.ex. at work) in case of acute hangryness – no, you want to be around me […]

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 […]

Grown up – Strawberry hazelnut bundt cake

May 23, 2014 by nadel&gabel

I baked a cake … actually I am baking a lot of cakes recently, somehow it became a habit to bake cakes for my colleagues and students on a regular basis. This is especially satisfying when you’re actually meant to correct class tests… This cake I made twice in one week – which indicates already that something is totally right with it. First of all it is strawberries … of course – I just can’t walk past if I see […]
