What lies ahead – Free printable calendar 2018

December 17, 2017 by nadel&gabel

It’s already so close to Christmas! And as this year Christmas nearly coincides with our move, it is time for a longer break here on this blog until we have fully arrived in our new home and a new year, excited about what lies ahead. But I am not saying good bye for this break without having thanked you, my readers, for reading and commenting my posts on this blog or (increasingly) on Instagram. Since I’ve started this blog in […]

About traditions – Pickled pink radishes

June 23, 2015 by nadel&gabel

These radishes have soon become a staple in our household, since I made them for the first time a few months ago. I planned to make a Bánh Mì sandwich. And when I walked around the market and looked for daikon radishes, I saw instead the first cute little pink radishes. They were fresh, they were from the farmer in the next village, they were radishes – what did I want more? – I had to use them instead. It […]

Preserving flavour – How I store herbs

March 28, 2015 by nadel&gabel

After posting the herbed pasta recipe last week, I thought it maybe would be convenient to tell you a little bit about how I store and preserve my herbs. We don’t have a garden or balcony (yet?), so I am always limited with growing my own herbs (Only rosemary survived the winter on at the kitchen window :(.) But these days, the farmer’s markets are displaying an expanding range of fresh herbs. But how to keep them if you don’t […]

Foodblogs I love: Krautkopf

October 22, 2014 by nadel&gabel

The German foodblog Krautkopf by Susann and Yannic I can’t deny that I am a visual person and food photography that tells a story or is able to express a specific mood is important for captivating me in the long run. No wonder that the moody and artful but in the same time reduced pictures of Susann and Yannic caught me. But then a food blog is not only about pictures – the recipes have to convince me as well. […]

Self-confessed sissi – Mak kimchi

October 12, 2014 by nadel&gabel

For some reason I forwent kimchi for long. I had read and heard a lot about it, but somehow it didn’t sound – and look – appealing to me. Fermenting in general always frightens me a bit, I guess. In retrospect this is quite funny cause it was only a bit later that I realized that our – and my – beloved German Sauerkraut is prepared actually the same way… It took Julia from “Chestnut&Sage” – a blogger that I […]

Food blogs I love: Chestnut & Sage

October 8, 2014 by nadel&gabel

After a break that got longer than intended I’d like to introduce to you again some of my favourite food blogs and – what is even more important – the people behind the scene, their approach to cooking, the role of food and blogging in their life. This time I am proud to welcome Julia from Chestnut&Sage. When I clicked back to the oldest post of Chestnut&Sage I realized that I am indeed following this blog since its existance … […]
