Seasonal treat – Elderflower fritters

May 26, 2018 by nadel&gabel

Suddenly it was all white. Clouds of small white petals that look like snowflakes. And a sweet flowery scent was in the air. This scent that is so iconic for late spring/early summer and that we now have in our own garden! I’m very sensitive to the perception of odors. More than f.ex. my ear, my nose registers stimuli and connects them with certain images and memories.The smell of elderflower is closely linked with my childhood, a herald of summer […]

A year in Instagrams – Free printable calendar 2017

December 9, 2016 by nadel&gabel

  Third year, I guess we can call this a tradition by now! When it comes to Instagram I guess I’m not what you would call an ‘early bird’. But I finally made it to Instagram and I appreciate it as an extension to my blog, a kind of photo diary and mood board. So, after a bit more than a year nadel&gabel on Instagram, I found it to be nice idea to recap this first year in a printable calendar, trying […]

Food blogs I love: @ Downunder

September 30, 2013 by nadel&gabel

It’s already 11 years – an ingredibly long time – ago, since I’ve been to New Zealand for work and travel. Besides my memories and the hope to visit this remote (from a European perspective) country  again, I kept a lasting affinity for it. Although this isn’t all, one reason for me to read Vivianes blog @ Downunder is to keep somehow connected to the “land of the long white cloud”. Vivianes pictures bring together the land, its people and […]

August 30, 2013 by nadel&gabel

While I am sorting the pics from our trip to Wales (post to come) and slowly adjusting to everyday live again, I leave you for the moment with another great food blog and its authors to get to know (better). Probably there aren’t a lot of foodies who don’t know Sara and Hugh Fortes blog Sprouted Kitchen. Since the release of their cookbook at the latest they belong to THE stars of the food blogging scene. However, this unique blog […]

Foodblogs I love: Ziii kocht…was

July 13, 2013 by nadel&gabel

It’s already the third post about my favourite food blogs. Time for a German-language blog: Ziii kocht…was by the Viennese Susanne Susannes blog exists since 2011 and is one of the most popular and succesful ones in Austria. She is one of the best storytellers around the food blog scene I know. In her distinctive style that is characterized by the “Wiener Schmäh” (Viennese charm) she tells us lovingly funny stories around her favourite dishes and products. Her words and […]
