Amongst likeminded – Foodbloggercamp Reutlingen 2016

March 8, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Much has be written about the third Foodbloggercamp that took place at Marcus Schneiders “Cooking Concept” in Reutlingen. Do we need another retrospective? I decided to make it short, to give a few impressions of my view on the weekend and the great people I met during those two intensive days. For me it was one of little occasions that I come together with foodbloggers in real life. In the run-up the uncertainity came again: Will we get along? Do we […]

Natural forces – In the Altmühl and Danube Valley

June 8, 2015 by nadel&gabel

When we planned our weekend off, we hoped for good weather. What we didn’t expect were what we got: Summer showed its full power for the first time this year – with tropical temperatures in the middle of Bavaria, or to be precise and not offend anyone: Franconia. Already when we came closer to Eichstätt, one of the bigger cities in the otherwise rural area of the Altmühltal (Altmühl Valley), we could see houses decorated with birch twigs, flags and […]

Cause it’s fun – Waffled pita sandwich with sucuk

May 16, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Foodwise the last weeks weren’t quite the healthiest ones – unless you’d call sandwiches with different toppings a varied and balanced diet. Although the homemade ones definitely were better than the ones from the bakery, smeared with loads of butter. Especially the numerous Bánh mì dinners. So, it basically suggested itself that this post would be dedicated to a sandwich. *Yawn*? No, it’s not a normal sandwich. It’s a waffled sandwich! “Is she really putting a sandwich into a waffle […]

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):
