N’ice … cream with roasted apricots and caramelized almonds

July 9, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Yes, it really has become quiet around here the last weeks (and I know that I said this before). Let’s call it an inspirational low point combined with a lot of real life to deal with. Anyway, I am here again, hopefully more regularly again from now on.  Probably you’ve heard already about “n’ice cream”, this summer’s hot shit around the raw-vegan-natural-clean-eating-scene. The idea is to create ice cream without artificial, processed ingredients and instead use as a base frozen […]

Skin nourishment – Whipped body butter

February 3, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Yes, I am giving a recipe to you here, but this time it is not to feed your belly but your skin, altough you’ll find most of the ingredients in your kitchen cabinet. Let me go farther back for a bit: As probably a lot of people, especially in winter I suffer from dry skin. Throughout the years I’ve experimented with a lot of body lotions and butters, and I had some quite satisfying results. But nothing could compete with […]

Mediterranean flavours – Socca with olives and thyme

August 23, 2015 by nadel&gabel

It was in Diano Marina in Liguria. The travel guidebook had recommended this little town as a charming not too crowded place … which it – to cut right through the chase – wasn’t at all: hordes of tourists hustling through the narrow streets wearing not much more than their bathing clothes, souvenir and tourist trap food shops on every corner … I guess you can imagine this kind of place, cause somehow these places are interchangeable all around the […]

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. […]

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 […]

Foodblogs I love: The First Mess

June 26, 2013 by nadel&gabel

Today I want to introduce you to Laura and her lovely food blog The First Mess. I can’t remember when I how I stumbled upon her blog for the first time, but I immediately bookmarked it and I am a regular reader since. I get a lot of inspiration for vegetarian cooking from her blog, especially when it comes to grains, legumes and salads. You think – although you would never say so – that a veggie burger will always […]
