I can’t believe that we have already late August and summer is nearly gone. Time is running faster and faster every year. That’s what I thought when I saw all the zucchini at the farmers market this week. We are officially in the mid of the zucchini season … again. The good thing is that […]

Pic by Franzi. I can nearly hear your thoughts: What is a caigua? Caiguas are little gherkins and called ‚Inkagurken‘ here in Germany. I only know them because they grow on the roof garden from my pals Inka (!) and Frank. Maybe you can imagine how proud Inka is of her plant that is called

All Pics by Franzi. Yes! A new cookbook has been tested! And which cookbook would fit better to this week’s Dining With Friends topic than Gordon Ramsay’s Cooking For Friends?! This book can be found in the kitchen of my pal Sophie who invited me over to find out if Gordon Ramsay’s recipes are really

Pics by Franzi. So, I’ve made again another monthly challenge – this time the one of trying to eat more sustainable. Local, healthy & seasonal is not always easy to master, but I realized that it helps a lot to look into my garden or on the balcony to get an idea of what’s in

Week two of the monthly challenge and another seven days of eating sustainable (local, seasonal & healthy) are already over.

Pics by Franzi. The first week of the Monthly Challenge Sustainable Eating is over (with one planned week of delay due to all these wedding festivities lately). To my surprise, it was quite easy to get local, seasonal and healthy food. I just had to go into our allotment garden where – thanks to this

We may only have 20°C outside, but a glance into the calendar clearly states that we have summer. And summer time means ice cream time for me. … Okay, I have to admit that I am quite addicted to eating ice cream the whole year-long. And these nice ice (cream) recipes are all worth a
Pic by Franzi. It’s time to start a new monthly food challenge: This week I will still indulge in (wedding) cake and big dinners but AFTER Suse’s big day a new era starts: For one month I will try to only eat local, seasonal as well as healthy food. This time I won’t be alone

Pic by Franzi. The BBQ season started – okay hypothetically (who really wants to sit outside in the rain?!). BBQ season = salad season and there are always some family classics that are served at a good BBQ. In my case this would be my mum’s potato salad. It’s made without any mayonnaise and therefore
