recently, friends of mine held a family birthday bash at my place. since my friends were about to get married in the south of france, i thought why not make it a french – or provence, rather, more specifically – inspired night? so this is supper no. 10: supper no. 10 été provençal rhubarb coolers...

tarte tropézienne
i like things that take their time. don’t all good things do? take yesterday morning, for example. i went running. it was already rather hot out at 7am, so it was a slow and languish run. but i was still advancing. and i was so lucky to experience a mouse crossing my path (literally) with...
fougasse with rosemary & za’atar
i walked through this week, trapped in my own little bubble, filled with perfect, meaningless, everyday nonesense. in the meantime, a friend of mine had to go through a severe operation last week, pretty much out of the blue. she told me about it only later, when she was already back home and recovering. even...
vegan almond milk pannacotta with woodruff marinated strawberries
a friend of mine – i guess he know me rather well… ahem – recently posted a nice little quote on my wall. here goes: “dessert must be spectacular, since when it arrives, there’s no more hunger.” (grimod de la reynière) fact: there’s rarely a need for dessert. yet, a good meal wouldn’t be complete...
älplermagronen – swiss mac & cheese – with roasted apple sauce
everyday, i marvel at life. how i’m living my small life here, in this country, in my home, everything i love around me is so well known. sometimes, i wonder what it’s like to be someone else. to slip into other minds and lives. it’s so inspiring to see the beauty in other people’s lives…...
nun’s lebkuchen
hello, weekend! well, have i ever really told you about the place where i grew up? near lucerne (which, btw, is only the most beautiful city in switzerland, sorry, zurich)? where the mountains flow into the lakes. in primary school, i had to walk 3km to school and back, twice a day. oh, and we...
old fashion cocktail with candied cranberries
sometimes, a wintery cocktail is all you need. a little tangy, a tiny bit bitter, icy cold, refreshing, classy. like an old fashion: for me, the best cocktail there is. add some home made, candied cranberries for good measure and you’ll never want to drink anything else (after 4pm, ahem). ps: the recipe for the...
lebkuchen bites with toffee sauce
remember how i told you i’m a firm believer of love at first sight? well… it’s true: i’m the worlds biggest, hopeless romantic. but what if i’m wrong? what if romance is dead? what if i’m waiting for something that doesn’t exist…? i occasionally obsessively read meme wisdom psychological articles on love and relationship matters. it’s...
Braised Cheeks of Veal w/ Parsley Mash
if you’re anything like me, you’re probably craving comfort foods (fats, cheeses, stews, sweets…) in this weather, hm? or maybe it’s the approaching holiday season? anyway, so there is something cooking… braised cheeks of veal. so tender, flavorsome, old school and classy. a really nice dish for the colder days. and i finally got to...
mulled wine poached pears
is there a possibility that the weekends follow another timing? sunday evening again. it was a good mix between relaxation and fun. it started off a bit crazy on friday, wining at a friend’s. saturday in the mountains again. we were hiding from the sun, though, working on a (wedding video!) project. it turned out...
