An ode to dear friends – Crêpes with chard and a twist

October 15, 2017 by nadel&gabel

To you chard, my loyal friend. Once – through out my childhood and youth – I neglected you. I apologize, I deeply regret this! Today I know that I just didn’t know you that well, didn’t know you at all. I only met you in two ways: as a green-brown pulp that was said to ressemble creamed spinach (but did only vaguely, of course) and in form of thick thready stalks of indifferent taste that were hidden away in a […]

Simple, savoury, summer – Tomato galette

August 12, 2016 by nadel&gabel

  How can you walk past tomatoes these days on the farmers market? The choice is overwhelming – from the big Coeur de Boeuf to the small Black Zebra: every occasion and purpose, every taste finds its variety. And neither of them needs lots of special treatment. They’re best at this season as pure as they are. Some flakes of sea salt, perhaps a touch of herbs – in summer we don’t need to be complicated. This tomato galette is as […]

… some more homemade ketchup variations

June 20, 2014 by nadel&gabel

After my first experiment in ketchup making – all of it already eaten or given away as presents – I made a second batch last weekend … or to be precise three variations on my basic recipe: a fruity one with apricots, … …a fresh herby one with green tomatoes, mango and coriander and … … a smoky BBQ ketchup with pimentón dulce ahumado and coffee. Amazing – all of them … and I am thinking already about new flavourful […]

Fruity and smoky – Homemade tomato rhubarb ketchup

May 30, 2014 by nadel&gabel

Suddenly it seams that ketchup is improving every meal. – I guess, I am obsessed. Withing two weeks it has become my go-to condiment. How come? It all started with this recipe I stumbled upon. I hesitated – tomato ketchup: all right – rhubarb ketchup: ? But after thinking twice, imagining the taste, I found this sounded very promising – especially for a lover of tart fruits. And it is! Whoever had this idea in the first place – I […]

Ricotta stuffed shells

March 15, 2012 by nadel&gabel

To makes this clear at the beginning: If it comes to pasta recipes, especially filled and baked pasta I am far away from being objective. And if then ricotta is playing a star role, there isn’t a big chance for me not to simply adore this dish. Pasta shells stuffed with herbed ricotta, sprinkled with tomato sauce and served out of the oven? – Heidi, I am in! So, if you found yourself thinking (or shouting out) “Yes!”, “Ohhh yes!”, […]
