simple food is my favorite. good quality, fresh ingredients, that you pick from a local farmer. i listen to to my heart when i cook. i only choose the best vegs and pasta. and then i take it from there. a simple dish of fresh pasta with roasted garlic and caramelized fennel and a capreseContinue reading
some first impressions from provence, france, last week (i can not believe it’s only a week back since all this… the week was hell). the colors in these pictures are so soothing, the soft yellow, the vibrant turquoise, the faded terracotta, the fresh reds of tomatoes and strawberries. makes me feel good, especially onContinue reading
it’s the best chocolate cake in the world. it’s so good, i’m speechless, time and again. and i don’t even really like chocolate cake! i mean, i like it enough, but i don’t love it. but this cake here, i just love. it’s moist and spongy and light (yes, honestly, not heavy at all), andContinue reading
hi friends! i’m back from a week in the south of france. i really missed you! it was beautiful and good to be away - for both, body and soul. now i’m refreshed and full of energy. though i think i might need some (preferably wild) plans to compensate for the couple of days thatContinue reading
i believe in fairy tales. like, i really just want to believe in them. i want to believe that there will be a happy ending, in love and in life. and i’m living life accordingly. see, i might not have found my match, and that’s sometimes a saddening fact. but i’m still living life bestContinue reading
two weeks ago, i was in paris, and it was so wonderful. i can’t wait to go next time, i’ve already planned the trip in my head (no kidding). i’m using some of my iphone / instagram photos as they’re too nice to trash and deserve some more glory. more pics here. and of course,Continue reading
we made an impromptu girls night recently, and what’s better to celebrate freedom and, uhm, a random saturday night than chilled, sweet margaritas? so we created a small mexican fiesta to give the margaritas some good ground (metaphorically as well as physically speaking) with soft mini corn tortillas, white bean hummus with roasted garlic, quacamoleContinue reading
as a kid, i used to love vegs, especially when raw. the greener and the rawer (?) the better. so, naturally, gazpacho was ranked high among my favorite dishes. it’s made entirely of fresh, raw, summer vegs - ripe tomatoes, cucumbers freshly picked from the garden, peppers, chiles - and thus actually a wonderfully healthyContinue reading
have i showed you my new chairs before? i mean, properly and in all their shining (nickel*) glory? here they are. i’ve always wanted to get these chairs, actually. for years i’ve been dreaming about them. i ended up actually ordering and paying them too - only to pull my order back at the lastContinue reading
happy sunday everyone! this weekend, i successfully (or so i think) hoested supper number 4, ‘childhood memories’. this was the ouverture: raw baby vegs (tiny cucumbers, fennels, white, pink, striped and black radishes as well as yellow, orange and purple carrots) served in a clay pot with dips (hummus and a dill curd) on theContinue reading
