At its peak – Summer chicken salad

August 13, 2017 by nadel&gabel

This summer somehow is an up and down. Grey, rainy and rather cold were the last days. It seemed like autumn already was entering the field. But like so often this summer the warming sun broke through the clouds, fought her way back. And her light pushed aside all the grey. I always feel that this time of summer is a double-edged sword. It’s on its peak, the plenty of ripe fruits and vegetables is overwhelming. Now they’re best, juicy […]

Hydration – Watermelon cucumber granita

July 7, 2017 by nadel&gabel

Ok, it probably doesn’t go much easier than this “recipe”. But the summer heat is on again after a little break and what you definitely want to avoid is turning on the oven and spending too much time in a small kitchen.

Fatigue and melancholy. Somewhere in between… …like this salad which is kind of a hybrid between Heidis famous otsu […]

Heat and heal – Ginger syrup

January 10, 2014 by nadel&gabel

Just around the turn of the year we received an uninvited guest … called cold. For me it’s kind of predictable meanwhile: a few days off work – and your body strikes back. So, when he started to sniff and use up our stock of tissues, I knew it was time – for ginger tea! It is not a big secret that ginger is a wideknown home remedy against colds, especially against upcoming colds. And so it is in our […]
