have you ever wanted to have rustic but nonetheless stylish place in zurich, but were lacking options? some weeks ago we were celebrating a few friends’ graduation (it was about time, lol), and planned on getting started with a big, lavish dinner, first. since we were around twenty people the options were even more narrowed.Continue reading
although i’ve been rather sick this week (nothing serious just very annoying…), i managed to go out at least once this week. we had a lovely italian dinner at cantinetta antinori. i love cantinetta, and always feel rather decadent and a bit guilty, even, when eating there. because it’s so over the top splendid andContinue reading
i’m going to spend the next weekend in a hunting hut, somewhere in the german forests (don’t ask me where, i’m a complete zero when it comes to geography…). i’m totally excited about it! we’re planning to do not much else than hang out, wearing knit socks, reading books, eating s’mores (i just decided that)Continue reading
another weekend spent fussing and fiddling about the kitchen. i admit that after such a weekend, a day of relaxation would be rather welcome. but, enfin, it’s so rewarding to serve a few plates of lovely food. i ordered two kilos of porcini (the cleaning - with a tooth brush - easily took around oneContinue reading
i’ve been invited to the opera. and tomorrow, it’s finally the night of ‘the magic flute’. really looking forward to it! on such great occasions i love to dress up. so, of course i’ve been thinking about what to wear for about a week now. since my budget is rather limited, i’ll stick to dreamingContinue reading

a few days ago i learned that the chinese term ‘dim sum’ stands for ‘small snack’. and literally, dim sum means ‘touching the heart’ as in ‘small delicacy that touches your heart’. isn’t that cute? the asians have been dumplings-experts for centuries - so, no wonder there are hundreds of different dumplings. they are typically filled with meatContinue reading
since i haven’t been posting many things this week, i’ll just make it up to by posting many pictures of my very active, very nice and very inspirational week. i went out a lot this week; to see and experience things, to meet friends, to enjoy my time out and about and to eat delicious foodContinue reading
have you ever experienced chasing after something, that later turned out to be entirely the, well, wrong thing for you? i’m not talking about a new pair of shoes or a pretty cashmere pullover, here. i’m talking of bigger things in life. like love. or careers. or passions. things that move us and define us. ifContinue reading
when making caramel, you need a lot of patience - everything i don’t have. but since i am a huge fan of gooey caramel, i desperately wanted to make my own fudge. however, the fudge recipes i found were all very complicated, if not to say impossible to carry out, with ingredients like ‘marshmallow cream’,Continue reading
