Flavour horizons – Homemade spice blends

December 15, 2016 by nadel&gabel

 This year, my Christmas presents – yes, almost done – are a bit more on the (online) store bought side than on team DIY. Not by concept, it just happened. Nevertheless you won’t find a gift guide on this blog. I don’t think anyone needs another one. What you’ll find here – like every year – is some inspiration for homemade Christmas presents. One of my homemade presents is this set of spice blends. I chose three of my favourite […]

December 16, 2013 by nadel&gabel

The christmas preparations are reaching their final stage.

This is just the right purpose for a small gift from your kitchen. I came back to my “little bags of sweetness” – nicely packed homemade hot chocolate powder.

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 ;-)).

Black and white? – Not today. There is just too much grey already outside. How about orange? – Yes! The recipe of Stephanies orange syrup with cardamom came just in time for the orange season.
