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 […]
We ran out of cake the other day (I know, how could that have happened…!) so I took a look at our stock of food and decided to make a crostata with cherry marmalade, which we made two weeks ago. While mixing the shortcrust dough together in a meditative way, […]
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 […]
I am currently still in the beautiful Provence and one of the many things I enjoy are the marchés des producteurs. The other day I found some gorgeous looking beetroot and could not hold myself. Don‘t you just love these leaves…they look like they have blood going through their veins. […]
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 […]
My first goose egg and I am literally overwhelmed! Really not sure what to do with it… I read that geese lay there eggs between October and May…so we are definitely coming to the end of the season. While hen lay up to 200 eggs a year, geese lay a […]
After a day at work, an intensive lunchtime workout and a webinar about food diplomacy and the impact of cooks, I was craving for a tasty and satisfying Spring midweek dinner. Within a few minutes I had prepared this beautiful dish with new potatoes and fresh peas seasoned with EVO […]
Spent the afternoon in Basel to see a lovely exhibition and an extraordinary installation. Before going to the museum, we stopped to visit the Münster and saw some creative flags done by the citizens of Basel to express what they currently feel and want to share. My favorite is the […]
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 […]
I am sure you have seen the craze about the baked feta pasta lately…well, I decided to join…but my way… As you might know, I love Mediterranean food, so I decided to give this famous dish a certain twist. A quick mid-week pasta dish that will leave you surprised
This not really a receipe, more a creative moment in my kitchen: A few days ago I cooked some artichokes with lemon until they were both nice and tender. I then drained them while keeping the water I had cooked them in. Tonight I decided to cook some red wheat […]
A few days ago I saw a post from @emikodavies which inspired me to try out this unusual combination of a bitter salad in a sweet cake … a beautiful cake … ready to sweeten my Monday morning
When life sends you #artichokes … you make #artichokefrittata Thank you @crowdcontainer for having organised these tasty and tender artichokes. I woke up with the desire to fully use these beauties (actually wanted to make pancakes) and just followed my instinct … and here you go … a very tasty […]
Hello winter…hello clementines! The freshness of the fruit and the heartiness of the nuts are equally balanced in these amazingly tasty muffins.
Inspired by the great #ottolenghi I have tweaked the original receipe somewhat – what a great way to lighten up this umami pasta dish: first and not last time that I made zoodles (coming from noodles and zucchini). This dish is a great way to bring back a bit of […]
A great pie to make late summer when the peaches are nice and ripe. This beautiful cake is great as a dessert and a fantastic present to bring along to a dinner party. A very tasty pie to enjoy juicy peaches embedded in a beautiful shortcrust
I finally had the courage to make koftas…and what a feast this was: and explosion of flavours…! #inspiredbyottolenghi, I adaped his receipe for turkey and zucchini koftas to suit the slightly more fatty lamb. The lemon and sumac work well and should not be left out. I served the koftas […]
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.
I got 3 kg of super yummy zucchini on Friday…just in time for some weekend cooking. As a first I made these zucchini pancakes, which were the stars of the brunch. Of course you can also serve them for lunch or dinner with a nice salad. Salmon could be the […]
…thanks to #grassrooted… watch this space for some delicious receipes on how to enjoy this great summer vegetable
Muhammara is a dip made from red pepperoni and walnuts. It is lovely in a cheese sandwich, served with grilled red meet or just as a dip – as I served it the other day. The fava bean mash is a nice contrast to the rather spicy muhammara, which can […]
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!
I wanted to give myself the challenge of making my own receipe for a strawberry cake: mission completed…with a “not too bad success”: I put too much of the filling and assembled the cake the evening before we ate it … so lessons leart and already incorporated into the receipe […]
I don’t know about you, but for me fresh peas are one of the better things in life – directly from the field would be the best…! For yesterday’s Mother’s Day, I made this light and springly frittata, which I served with some crème fraîche, lemon zest and a bit […]
Mainly insprired by the mediterranean ways of cooking chicken, I quickly made this very tasty and full-on flavoured chicken the other day. The lemon and olives bring out the best in chicken – there is no need to add much more. I served this with a warm lentil and beetroot […]
The receipe in “The Baking Book” from Honey & Co. starts off with the words that receipes are like nomads…they travel from one person/family to the next and each time they get changed / adapted a bit. I have done the same…but am thankful for the inspiration that I have […]
With all the left over spicy olives we had and the fact that we ran out of our home made taralli (see my post from April 26), I decided to make some breadsticks, where I can use up not only the spicy olives, but also a good part of the […]
Had not made labna for a while now and was very happy to have found fresh oregano, which I believe goes particularly well with the labna balls. You might think that it is a waste of oil…it is not…the oil can and should be used for many more yummy receipes…it […]
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 […]
After a few days of my endless love and dedication to Italian food, I decided to turn to Spain…not a bad culinary country either… This tasty and quick tortilla used up potatoes, some eggs, a pepper, some parsely as well as tomatoes. I served it warm and with jamon.
Why wait over 2 years to finally cook this delicious chicken dish…? Make sure you get an organic farm chicken to ensure the full taste! Wash it throughly and bath it in salted water for ca. 15 mins. During that time, make the marinade: juice of a lemon, 2-3 crushed […]
It was not difficult to imagine that beetroot risotto would turn out pink. I kept the traditional risotto receipe with first frying an onion and some garlic, then adding the rice…once this was shiny I added some good white wine (always cook with wine you would like to drink) and […]
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 […]
For those of you, who have followed my blog the past few days know that I had Grumola salad as well as topinambur at home. To make it a full meal, I added some feta crumbs. For the topinambur to stand out, I decided to make a very simple sauce […]
My favorite meals are the ones I can put together with restis…or leftovers. Today’s lunch was extremely tasty and got rid of a few restis: leftover Brussels sprouts, which I quickly heated up and then garnished with chèvre frais, lemon zest, chopped roasted hazelnuts as well as a drizzle of […]
Tarte with Stilton and pears: I still had some Stilton left over and some pears (Alexander)….added some chopped walnuts as well as an egg and some milk mixed together. Great mix between the sweet pear and the tangy Stilton

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? 🥃

It has been a while that I wanted to just try my own receipe…somehow I did not dare. Tonight seemed like the right time and I am very proud of what came out of 35 mins wizzing through the kichen: chicken with preserved lemon, olives and potatoes with sumac…a winner […]

Second dinner party of 2020 and I have the honor to be mentioned in social media for the first time…who knows what 2020 will bring…🌟
If you followed my in the last few weeks, you might have noticed that I have started to preserve lemons. Not as easy as I thought, but I think I am getting the hang of it 🍋 So last night was my first attempt to actually use a first lemon…for […]
Peace and renewal…life is what comes to my mind when I see the colours of white and green. Two things our world desparately needs…!
There is no better way to start a cold and sunny day in the best city: Bürkliplatz market. Mother nature is producing less and less with the frosty nights…but just have a look at these beauties…
