Winter cravings – Deep dish corn pizza with kale, bacon and gorgonzola

November 15, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Kale. During the last years when kale recipes spread the food blogger universe I started to appreciate this kind of cabbage. Actually, before all this, I think I haven’t ever eaten kale at all. There is this traditional Northwestern German dish called “Grünkohl mit Pinkel” – but here in the South – you wouldn’t have found kale on a farmer’s market in November … until this hype began… I never enjoyed kale cooked into a mash in this traditional German way. But I […]

This seasons favourite combo – Sandwich with beetroot, feta cheese and walnuts

January 7, 2015 by nadel&gabel

In culinary terms my autumn-winter-season this year tends to be somehow circular … I can’t help turning back to the same combinations of ingredients again and again. Boring? No, super yummy! Pumpkin/squash-gorgonzola-sage has become a staple in our dinners since the first pumpkins appeared at the market and have since continously found their way into galettes, pizzas, pasta dishes and casseroles. A similar things is true for this other divine flavour combination of baked beetroot, feta cheese (alternatively: goat cream […]

Even more spring herbs and veggies – Pizza with asparagus, spring onions, wild garlic, arugula and smoked ham

April 3, 2014 by nadel&gabel

It’s still spring! It’s warm outside, the trees are covered in white and pale green and as I walk along the woods, I can clearly smell garlic now. Wild garlic. A few years ago everything had to be wild garlic or arugula – a food trend that stopped at nothing. Me included… Unavoidably I got tired of wild garlic pesto, wild garlic oil,… fed up with arugula leaves here, arugula leaves there. But I’ve overcome this stage as well – […]

Summer on your plate – Pizza with chicken, peaches, goat cream cheese, thyme & honey

August 6, 2013 by nadel&gabel

I’ve counted: this is the third pizza recipe on this blog. No other dish is so present here (If you also count tarte flambée, it’s the fifth). However, when you consider how often we eat pizza, this is actually not very much. In fact, about once a week it’s a What-should-I–cook–today-oh-let’s-make-pizza-day. Although a lot of people find baking pizza frightening and complicated, I think it’s one of fastest, easiest and most versatile dishes. Cause I make pizza on such a […]

Cornucopia of nature and tarte flambée with figs and bacon

September 10, 2012 by nadel&gabel

Late summer/autumn and me – our relationship gets closer and closer. When I was younger, autumn for me was the beginning of the end. Summer and school holidays were over, I saw the cold winter coming. The warm autumn afternoons just reminded me of the oh so warmer summer days, the beautiful coloured trees were just a sign of decay.

Hot like the Calabrian sun – Pizza with nduja, pecorino and rocket

May 23, 2012 by nadel&gabel

This blog post is dedicated to a single glorious product, a Calabrian sausage speciality called nduja. “A sausage? Your making a fuss about a sausage?!” – Yes, because nduja is so much more than a simple sausage (And as a German I know what I am talking about):

Pizza in the wilderness

August 30, 2011 by nadel&gabel

The last time I spend a night on a cars backseat must have been as a student, taking a rest somewhere around the Alps on a holiday trip to Italy. “Sleeping in my car…” – last weekend it came true for me again. The cause this time was an unbelievable snoring symphony I fled from. This was the rather unpleasant part of an – apart from that – nice weekend in the beautiful landscape between Palatinate and Alsace: Vast vineyards […]

Pizza with gorgonzola cheese and pears

August 15, 2011 by nadel&gabel

Ok, this is about the direct opposite of a light dish … but gorgonzola cheese (or any other kind of blue cheese) and pears is just such a great combination of flavours! When I was at the farmer’s market and I saw those very ripe pears (I’ve already forgotten their name, something French, I think) I thought immediatly of this perfect couple.  It is worth every calorie, every! And: what is even better than gorgonzola cheese and pears? –  Yes, […]
