this risotto was made with almost only the contents of my pantry and my fridge. we did get that cauliflower, not really knowing what exactly to do with it. but then we turned it into a cremy risotto. and it was just the perfect sunday night dinner after an exhausting (kind of) weekend with lotsContinue reading
current events - i.e. our office space being flooded with fresh air, 24/7, at the end of september, when it’s a perceived 4 degrees celcius out - have cause me to think up ways to make the michelin-man-layered look that says “month long deep sea dive journey” popular. because that michelin man ist me. andContinue reading
it’s still ottolenghi week! this time, it’s a dessert that i’m luring you with. but you’re not that stupid: of course you know a good dessert when it’s a placed in front of you, don’t you. because this one is a winner. these donut-like, very soft and moist and almost apparently “light” little balls areContinue reading
here it is: the first crazy combo by ottolenghi from his new “plenty more”. the intention in the recipe is to use pomelo instead of grapefruit, but hey… i’m only human. with only a ton of work on the side, crazy hobbie and bunch of fabulous friends that i want to see every leap yearContinue reading

fall is finally here (after an inexistent, sneaky little summer), and i couldn’t be happier. the vibrant colors go straight to my heart. and whenever i find a chestnut (fake one, or whatever the inedible ones are called) on the streets i can’t help but pick it up. i’m keeping them everywhere - in pockets,Continue reading
my new friend myriam, whom i’ve already told you about before, has not only the most enviable cookbook collection in her beautiful, quirky home. she also wrote her own. because, you know, she is fabulous like that. it’s only one of the most stunning baking books in german and with the metric system (two thingsContinue reading
for this cake, i was honestly and really called ‘the queen of cakes’. ‘queen of everything’ would have been better, i agree, but i’m not complaining. this cake is about as close to child-hood memories as it can get. my mom would make it on special occasions, on outings, for picnics or potlucks (yes, weContinue reading
