The loved ones – Red Currant Mazarin Tart

August 14, 2015 by nadel&gabel

When you would ask me about my favourite summer cake, my answer would always be the same: A “Träubleskucha” (red currant cake) the way my grandma always made it and how it is still made in our family. Red currants always bring childhood memories with them. I remember the garden of my parents that produced such masses of red currants throughout the summer season that we were busy to handle all of them – besides all the other fruits and […]

Let’s twist again – Bread flower with poppy seed marzipan filling

February 1, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Alright, ready for baked sweets again. Bitter-sweet pleasures to be precise. This poppy seed bread flower belongs to the category ‘simple, but impressive’ (one of my favourite 😉 ) – a recipe for show-offs … Mother-in-law has announced a visit? That’s your recipe!

Remember this savoury kalacs I adapted from Viviane […]

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! Too pathetic? Look at these waffles for example! They stop your collywobbles, ok, but they do so much more! First of all I think they feed your eyes – and then the […]

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 […]
