my friend h from dubai is visiting this week! fabulous time ahead for sure. like, kicking it off with a classic swiss dinner at the kronenhalle, then on a saturday a hot chocolate in the city and later some christmas wreath making with 20 ladies, oh, and a bit of a decadent tea time atContinue reading
something so delicious and simple and comforting like this salad. it’s the winter version of the classic tomato mozzarella caprese. persimmon are probably the fruit i love the most in winter. they’re super healthy, too. and yes, i like them for breakfast, snack in between, lunch and dinner. persimmon around the clock. speaking of clock,Continue reading
This week has started off so well… On Monday, me and a friend crammed in some shopping / browsing through the shops, eating (outdoors at one of the many, yummy Christmas stalls that are now installed in the city) good food and going to the movies (catching fire). Oh, and then there was Tuesday.Continue reading
friends… the ones who eat from your bowl of noodles when in your home. the ones who lie on your bathroom floor - despite serious back pain - to have a look at your broken towel handle. the ones who spending one whole day in the kitchen with is pure relaxation and fun. friends areContinue reading
it’s a bit early, but since we’re celebrating thanksgiving early this year with friends and their family, i dedicate this post to my thanks. many thanks, many tumbling words, many things i want to say. as you’ve accompanied me through the year, you know it’s been a crazy one, a whirlwind of many downs (at theContinue reading
the christmas lights were switched on yesterday night in the city. and it was snowing, too. we ate raclette from a stall outside and drank too sweet glühwein (mulled wine), and listened to ‘the singing christmas tree’. it was the first time i really felt like christmas, this fuzzy, cosy feeling that fills you upContinue reading

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’sContinue reading
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 toContinue reading
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 outContinue reading
