Hold out – Orange chocolate rolls

February 5, 2017 by nadel&gabel

You have to be attentive, look close, listen carefully. But then you will recognize them: The first signs of spring. They’re easily overlooked, but have you recognized the longer evenings, the beautiful red sunrises in the morning, the singing of the birds that get more voluminous each day, the scattered little flowers on the green? Not long anymore… But oh, these grey-in-grey rainy and foggy days in this late winter. Winter is in his last throes, nearly unbearable. It’s the […]

Bittersweet symphony – Orange marmalade

January 22, 2017 by nadel&gabel

Bitterness these days seems to be a (global) social diagnosis. Hostility and anxiety are spreading and seem to poison peaceful living together. Sometimes you just want to resign, withdraw from all the … This point has to be overcome. And it will be. Not at once, not by a single person,… … but bitterness can be transformed into courage, it can awaken good forces, strengthen people and bring them together in opposition, articulating loudly their vision of a tolerant, understanding, […]

The flavour of Christmas – Yeasted waffles Panettone style

December 22, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Before this blog goes into a little Christmas break and I fully immerse into real life with family, presents, a lot of game dishes, cookies, sweet liqueur,… I have a last recipe for this year left for you – obviously Christmas inspired. It’s warm crisp waffles and (kind of) Panettone or Christstollen, all in one! Hooray for Christmas! I boroughed the waffle base from Molly‘s challah waffles recipe, itself an adaption on the classic Belgian Gaufre de Liège. They’re pillowy soft, buttery […]

Soulwarming – Pear fritters with chocolate sauce à la Hélène

October 22, 2016 by nadel&gabel

On those autumn days when the colour of the sky only knows the monochromatic shades of grey (no reference) that are slowly creeping into your mood, the best thing you can do is cuddling into your wool blanket with a hot cup of tea… … and enjoy some food, that caresses your soul, brings coziness deep inside, brings warmth to your heart. It helps when chocolate is involved 😉 In this case I paired chocolate with one of my sweet […]

Notes from within the snail shell – Pfitzauf

January 31, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Retreating into the shell like a snail – sometimes this sounds so promising (despite the fact that I am afraid of snails). When the outside world is chaotic, complicated, discouraging, there’s my snail reflex: roll in, withdraw, stay within the shell that shields me. How long could one possibly hide under the bed sheet? Probably quite a while as long as the ingredients for such a simple dish like “Pfitzauf” – the traditional Swabian version of popovers – are in the house. As […]

The loved ones – Red Currant Mazarin Tart

August 14, 2015 by nadel&gabel

When you would ask me about my favourite summer cake, my answer would always be the same: A “Träubleskucha” (red currant cake) the way my grandma always made it and how it is still made in our family. Red currants always bring childhood memories with them. I remember the garden of my parents that produced such masses of red currants throughout the summer season that we were busy to handle all of them – besides all the other fruits and […]

Healthy tidbit – Dutch Baby with elderberries

August 6, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Like in every year, strawberries were the heralds, followed by cherries … and now out of a sudden the whole farmer’s market is covered in shades of red and blue. It’s the season for all those sweet-sour jewels that delight us only for such a short period of the year! And I enjoy it to the fullest! Blueberries, blackberries, gooseberries, raspberries, currants – I love all of them! And nearly all of them I have packed into this baked oven […]

Sweet prospects – Pasteis de nata

May 28, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Imagine a small bar/café, a cup of coffee (good coffee!) and a small piece of sweet pastry in front of you, combine this with a stunning view on the surrounding landscape (at least one of the following: sea, river, mountain, old town) – and you have it: my quintessence of holiday, my pictured wanderlust! As we are planning our summer holiday in Portugal at the moment, these memories – and prospects! – come to my mind and with them memories […]

On hedoné – Beetroot crackers with poppy seeds

January 25, 2015 by nadel&gabel

My after-christmas-fed-up-with-sweet-stuff-phase turns out to be quite longlasting this year … which isn’t such a bad thing. Sometimes you need a break to overcome satiety, to be capable for real indulgence again. Old Epicurus already knew this… Meanwhile I’m noshing these savoury crackers … with only a hint of (natural) sweetness that comes from my favourite vegetable these days: beetroot. It adds as well a nice pale red colour to the crackers. In case you’re wondering where all the scalloped […]
