Foraging and finding – Fir tip honey

May 6, 2018 by nadel&gabel

Long time no see, he? Yes, this has been a quiet place for a long time, although this doesn’t mean that I haven’t cooked, knitted or sewed. But priorities had shifted during the last months. After our movement we were busy making our house a home. And then came April… oh, this extraordinary warm summer-like April, and most of I could think of was our garden. We did a lot of unweeding, sowing and planting. We furnished our terrace, build […]

Pulse – Spring pasta with peas, ricotta and lemon

May 14, 2017 by nadel&gabel

Except from our – magnificent – trip to São Miguel (dispatch to follow) during our Easter holidays, there has been a lot of work going on here right now in ‘real life’, while my digital life has shifted to Instagram mostly these days. This won’t be the beginning of a lenghty complaint, but an explanation: My recreational program these days mostly consists of some knitting in the evening and short walks in the sun in the afternoon – in case it […]

Me, myself and I in the Allgäu

May 27, 2016 by nadel&gabel

“For how many people would you like to book a table?” – “One. It’s just me.” An unfamiliar situation, like some more during those four days I stayed in the Allgäu. But then there were a lot of moments that didn’t feel strange at all. It were different things that led to this one-woman-short-trip. One of them was the fact that I indeed perceived this as a challenge, an exceeding of my couple comfort zone. At the same time there are so […]

A secret green juice – Wiesensaft

April 24, 2016 by nadel&gabel

As I promised – which is already two weeks ago now – I wanted to introduce you to the secrets of “Wiesensaft” (meadow juice). Yes, you heard right. I was sceptic, too, when I saw the green liquid in the bottle that stood on the breakfast buffet at the Miramonte hotel. But curiosity won and I filled a small sip into my glas … and I came back to the buffet, and once again. I loved the fresh aromatic taste […]

Wearing a sunday dress – Breakfast carrot cake with coconut

March 13, 2016 by nadel&gabel

It was one of my New Years resolutions: Eat better at work! I was so sick of the every day returning bun sandwich with sausage or cheese I had for breakfast at work, the bun sandwich with sausage or cheese for lunch as well… And I was even more annoyed about myself not getting moved my ass to change this situation. So, to help me kick-start my project and keep with it I had to make it cool and stylish – […]

Shades of green – A spring feast

April 29, 2015 by nadel&gabel

*sigh* … When it comes to work load this is about the hardest time of the year… gritting one’s teeth, struggling through is the name of the game. Under these adverse conditions I am especially happy that we could find the time for a lovely gathering with friends – to celebrate friendship, good food, spring… and my birthday – to let work be work and enjoy the moment. In my mind I had my favourite season spring and its omnipresent […]

Sweet simplicity – Dutch hangop

April 18, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Of course – like it is good tradition on this blog – my report from our short trip to Amsterdam is only complete with a corresponding recipe. After our dinner at Moeders, where we ate ourself through a menu of traditional Dutch dishes, it was soon clear that I was tending towards the sweet side, but would it be waffles, poffertjes,…? … I finally made my mind – and hangop. Probably the most easiest, but non the less delicious and […]

Mind the fietsers – A city trip to Amsterdam

April 13, 2015 by nadel&gabel

It’s only a few days ago, that we came back from our little spring timeout in Amsterdam. A pleasant spring weather made it easy for us to discover and enjoy this city which is bustling and relaxed at the same time. Sometimes I find taking photographs a difficult thing to balance, especially when travelling. I want to keep memorys, impressions, but at the same time I see the risk to miss out on the experience while concentrating on taking pictures. […]

Creamy herbed spaghetti & Uli’s secret to cooking pasta

March 22, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Lately I visited my friend Ulrike and at noon when we sat together for a quick lunch – a pot of pasta and a good pesto – I had this moment of enlightenment: For the first time I was realizing that her pasta always tasted better than mine, that it had this special flavour that turned even the simplest pasta dish into something extraordinary. … It turned out to be a simple leave of laurel that she is cooking with […]
