Interactive – Kumpir with red cabbage slaw and muhammara

December 3, 2016 by nadel&gabel

I guess food posts around here have become a bit heavy on the sweet side lately. Although in every day life of course I cook way more savoury dishes than sweet ones. So why is it? There are a lot of extensively tested and approved recipes, delicious, healthy (mostly), perfected and variated, but they haven’t found their way on this blog. I’m withholding them, something always detains me from posting them. Not special enough, no exceptional ingredient, unspectacular look … not worth […]

Back to the roots – Oven-roasted root vegetables with roquefort sauce and millet

February 8, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Lately, when I strolled over our local farmers market, I stopped immediately: Beautiful mini beet roots, carrots, parsnips catched my eye – and in my mind they formed some ideal winterdish, oven-roasted with warming spices, together with some kind of grain as side and a flavorful sauce that could hold against the earthy roots, giving the whole dish some more depth. Although I think most fruits and vegetables benefit from oven-roasting and thereby concentrating flavours, I think this is especially […]

The Origin of Overnight Oats – Bircher Müsli

January 17, 2015 by nadel&gabel

“Isn’t this … Bircher Müsli?!” – That was what I thought when I saw a recipe for this ‘totally new’ breakfast trend called ‘Overnight Oats’ for the first time… and, yes, it basically IS Bircher Müsli. So, this new invention is not so new at all and actually more of a rediscovery of what the Swiss physician and nutritionist Maximilian Oskar Bircher-Brenner developed in 1902 as Apfeldiätspeise – as a dietary meal based on apples (actually it was ment as […]

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: Chestnut & Sage

October 8, 2014 by nadel&gabel

After a break that got longer than intended I’d like to introduce to you again some of my favourite food blogs and – what is even more important – the people behind the scene, their approach to cooking, the role of food and blogging in their life. This time I am proud to welcome Julia from Chestnut&Sage. When I clicked back to the oldest post of Chestnut&Sage I realized that I am indeed following this blog since its existance … […]

Summer salad inspiration – and a forced break

July 20, 2014 by nadel&gabel

Sweet Corn, Peach, and Cherry Salad with Creamy Goat Cheese and a Lime Dressing – The Flourishing Foodie I could have prepared some blog posts in advance for the time when my camera is under repair … too much additional organisation effort at the moment. So – while my camera is in rehab, back home at the Nikon family, I have a collected some summer salad ideas for you around the web. They’re all from some of my favourite food […]

Herbivore – Spring quiche with fresh herbs

March 23, 2014 by nadel&gabel

When did all the spring herbs, veggies and fruits grow? It appears that out of a sudden cabbages, roots, pears and apples had to make room for spring onions, wild garlic, asparagus, strawberries and rhubarb on our local farmers market. Not that I have a problem with it – I love it! I am definitely ready for this change – I could jump for joy! So, let’s stop talking and start embracing spring – by packing its full herbal power […]

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: Sprouted Kitchen

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 […]
