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 […]
There’s something quietly powerful about dining alone—giving your full attention to each bite, each sip, and how it all makes you feel. No distractions. Just presence. At Oga, this moment felt almost sacred. The flavours were exquisite, the care in every detail undeniable. It reminded me that food is not […]
Last night’s Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club pop-up dinner lingered long after the last bite was taken. The plates sat scattered, a few glasses still cradling the last sips of red wine, and a single flower rested quietly on the tablecloth—a silent witness to what really happened: no one wanted […]
Have you ever wished for a dining experience that feels more like home—where the warmth of good food and genuine connection come together? At the Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club, we offer something beyond a typical restaurant meal. A Cosy, Exclusive Dining Experience Forget the impersonal atmosphere of a crowded […]
At Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club, we take care of our guests from the moment they arrive. We understand that joining a gathering with unfamiliar faces can feel uncertain—but soon, shared curiosity and a love for food turn strangers into friends 💫 What makes our events special? It’s not just […]
At Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club, we love honouring traditions while adding our own modern, healthy, and delicious twist. Good luck lentils may not be my invention, but this recipe strikes the perfect balance. Think of the lentils as “jewels” representing prosperity, the richness of sausages as a nod to […]
Is there a better way to celebrate #WorldVegetarianDay than with this dreamy combo: vibrant pumpkin kissed by earthy sage? Pure autumn magic in every bite! What’s your go-to vegetarian combo this season? I’d love to hear it! Connect with me over at Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club and drop me a […]
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 […]
What makes a weekend truly perfect, you ask? Well, let me paint you a vibrant picture! On Friday night, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting a dinner for a long-lost family friend. After years of lost contact, our paths crossed again a couple of weeks ago. Picture this: porcini […]
As the days grow colder and autumn’s touch lingers in the air, there’s something special about heading to the local market for a handful of fresh, hearty mushrooms. Start by gently brushing off any lingering earth from the mushrooms, and remember, never soak them in water – that’s the secret […]
Although the days are slowly getting lighter and warmer, the nights are still bitter cold so a hearty ragu served on a plate of pasta is as welcome as a warm hug from a friend. A hearty and deep red ragu with some of the best, that Sicily has to […]
Many of you have probably already found and followed online recepies for a pumpkin risotto, so I will spare you the detailed receipe and jump straight into the sensations: With some spare pumpkin (from the amazing pumpkin and chocolate cake I made the other day) and some white wine, I […]
It has been one of those days … I am tired, cold and hungry… When opening my fridge I feel gratitude for what I find: a bright orange pumpkin, some smoked bacon and a bunch of sage. I also remember a can of cannellini beans in my pantry. Within a […]
The first of many tasty soups as the days are getting shorter and shorter… The smoked organic pancetta was a unique addition to this plate full of goodness: Swiss chard, mushrooms, onions, potatoes, garlic and celery … and time …
Can you believe that after so many years of passionate cooking and baking it was not until yesterday that I made my first homemade granola! And can you believe that I actually planned to make something else and the „happy mistake“ at least gave me granola as a result. I […]
No other dish gives me more comfort and at the same time makes me miss my nonna so much: pasta e piselli. I have finally found the real Italian salsiccia, which gives this dish the spicy touch. The fresh peas and the leek give it the herby-flavour and the ditalli […]
Not sure what the weather is like where you currently are…here it is grey, white and wet…a perfect morning to light a candle and enjoy the morning coffee in style and warmth before the day’s challenges start to drop in… Make the most of your day – even in these […]
An autumn version of the highly loved baklava…great way to use up some apples, which are no longer as crunchy as you wish. I was amazed at how much flavour the first walnuts have – welcome to my home, baklava…! As juicy and sweet as baklava can get…with a touch […]
A warm welcome to autumn into my kitchen…what a way to start the pumpkin season…hearty pumpkin and lentils with the freshness of burrata – definitely a keeper in my house! Also this receipe is #inspriredbyottolenghi. I like to serve this warm, so that the fresh burrata cuts into the hearty […]
It’s definitely the season of zucchini and this tasty bread is a great addition to a brunch or served with a salad. It keeps well for 1-2 days.
There are moments, where you feel the need to be loved… ♥️
I was asked for my shakshuka receipe…there are already so many out there, but I must admit, this one did taste very good! As with many receipes, shakshuka tastes the best when you put a lot of love…and what you have in the fridge….into it!
This is one from the beautiful book of Falastin by Sami Tamimi and Tara Wigley. I have changed the proportions and added quite some lemon and the lemon zest, which “breaks” the heavy tahini sauce quite nicely. I served the pie with a green salad, which is a perfect complement.
The weekend can’t really start any better…a home made Zopf! Although we see it as a Swiss receipe in Switzerland, this mild and buttery bread has a few traditions in many different countries. Not sure about you, but I find it fascinating to see that as people from different countries […]
I have posted this delicious summery fish stew before…but not as a full receipe. For me this stew works particularly well with rice – I used black venere rice, which gave this dish a hearty touch as this rice stays “al dente”. You can equally serve this dish with a […]
If you have ever been to Graubünden, you probably also feel in love with their nut pastry. While you can get different versions everywhere in Switzerland, be sure to treat yourself to a slice next time you go to this beautiful spot. If you love this cake as much as […]
I have always had a lot of respect for those, who bake their own bread….until I recently found out how effortless and simple it really is. My respect still stands for those many, many people…and I am happy to be one of them 🙂 This relatively dark bread bakes especially […]
The weather has turned to be rather wet and cold again (thank God, as we needed the rain sooo badly) and this calls for more comforting food. Try to get a real Italian spicy sausage…the flavour of it will make all the difference for this dish. As you can see […]
What an explosion of flavours all mixed together for this pesto in red: dried tomatoes soaked and chopped, cherry tomatoes cooked in the oven with olive oil and salt, basil, raisins, chilli flakes, ground almonds, garlic, lemon zest and salt. Once all is mixed, cook the pasta (best a pasta […]
Inspired by Ottolenghi…but gave it my own twist: I made mixed lamb and beef meatballs that I fried in a pan with olive oil. To give them some distinguished taste, I added cumin, a lot of parsley some chopped onions as well as an egg and some bread crumbs to […]
Pasta e piselli: fry some finely chopped onions and garlic, add some kind of fatty meat and continue to fry on a low level until the fat is out (I used wild boar sauggage). Add the peas, some tomatoes (I used concentrated purée), water and let it simmer. Add the pasta (I used orzo) and some greens…due to lack of parsley, I added the leaves from some radishes. I also added the rind from the Parmesan I still had. Let it all cook together until the pasta is cooked to your likings.

Pumpkin seeds spelt bread: mix 100g of pumpkin seeds with 500g of flour, add 1 cube (42g) of fresh yeast to 500 ml of warm water and mix with the flour/seeds and finally add 10g of salt. Mix by hand for 5m and then bake in a buttered cake form for 45 mins at 180 degrees.

Rainy Sunday afternoon project: I first put them into hot water and let them boil for a few minutes…then peeled them…then dried them…then roasted them with salt…when is it apéro time? 🥃
