There is something deeply grounding about bread. A loaf begins with the simplest ingredients: flour, water, salt, and time. Yet it holds centuries of human history, tradition, and care. Bread nourishes us not only through what it gives our bodies, but also through what it represents: patience, community, and the […]
You might find yourself wondering: what exactly are “resties”? Well, they’re simply leftovers – but I’ve taken a liking to the term. Quite unexpectedly, we found ourselves with a day of resties just a few days back. Perhaps it was the wintry weather creeping in again, or maybe it was […]
I find myself journeying to a corner of the world where the delightful concept of pretzel rolls is yet to be discovered. Despite the hotel I’m fortunate to stay in embracing a diverse array of bread from across the globe, the absence of pretzel baked goods is palpable. Enter the […]
It may sound simple, but trust me, it’s not as easy as it seems! Imagine this: a delicious loaf of bread paired with some creamy butter – it’s a heavenly combination! I recently attended a workshop where I learned how to bake a perfect, tangy bread and craft my own […]
Dive into the world of figs, those love-’em-or-hate-’em wonders! Me? I’m head over heels for these little beauties, and half my year is dedicated to scouring markets for the perfect figs. And guess what? It’s prime fig season right now, and I’m floating on cloud nine! Let’s talk about this […]
True, if you ask me what I typically like to eat for lunch on a Sunday, a sandwich is not far from being at the very bottom of the list. Today is a different Sunday: being very low on energy the last three weeks, I decided this morning to both […]
With just a couple of ingredients this dish unites the freshness of a burrata, the crunchiness of the hazelnuts and the wintery hearty feeling of the Brussels sprouts and bacon. A keeper … at least in my house.
What a fantastic way of celebrating a Sunday brunch: mushrooms on a slice of tasty multi-grain bread served with a fried egg and a tasty green salad with lemon zest, lemon juice and EVO. Incredible to experience the balance between the different textures and flavours … definitely to be repeated […]
It has been a while since I have been baking my own bread – mainly because of rather intense travelling over the last month. I am however back to my routine of baking bread … and as such also to the routine of eating a home-made sandwich. Today’s edition was […]
As a new member of Slow Food, I had to experiment my first concious official Slow Food receipe – although I am quite sure that this is not really my first Slow Food receipe. Farina bona is a very traditional flour from the Onsernone valley in the canton of Ticino […]
Not sure about you, but I could eat pasta every day … guess not a huge surprise for an Italian …! I do however like variety and have come up with this great topping the other day. Crunchy breadcrumbs roasted in olive oil (in my case I used ones from […]
What is a balanced meal for you? Do you have a list of what you should resp should not be eating? Do you trust your cravings? For last night’s dinner party I went for what my guests and I like, knowing that all in all it is a balanced meal: […]
Like many of you, I have tackled the world of sourdough bread baking during the pandemic – something that had been on my bucket list since a while … As a fairly successful home cook (as my family and friends like to see me) failing regularly has not been a […]
When a foodie wants to impress a restaurant owner … Both the super tasty cornbread from Ottolenghi‘s Simple and the delicious blood orange and pistachio cake from Honey & Co look amazing but unfortunately they were not quite right in terms of texture this time around. Lessons learned for next […]
This receipe brings me back to happy childhood memories and warm Easter days with la famiglia from Napoli. Like most family receipes, also this one has been changed from generation to generation…we even changed it since last year and will most probably continue to do so … This receipe is […]
Not bad for a Monday lunch: homemade sourdough discard bread with roasted hazelnuts, homemade relish with Alpenkäse curtesy of #babette and some nice and crunchy Treviso radicchio
You might think it is controversial to enjoy a slice of crunchy sourdough bread … but it is actually very surprising and as such fulfilling. I was craving for a bread with roasted hazelnuts…don’t ask me how this came about because I had not had this before. By simply adding […]
Are you also having “that kind of Monday”? I certainly am … so I decided to treat myself with some olives…even better, this gorgeous smelling olive sourdough bread. What do you do, when you are having “one of those days”?
