Orange Favourites

Happiness in a Bowl

This one goes out to my Heidelberg-Family, dear friends I made during the last couple of month, best company in the kitchen and precious conversation partners.

Bananabread Maxi Muffins

Brandnew addiction: Bananabread Muffins. They happened last week for the first time when I slowly started eating again after a 7-day-detox program. Since then, they are on repeat in my kitchen - perfect breakfast, easy to take away and also a wonderful dessert. Right now, I have one batch in the oven for grandmas birthday... The smell of vanilla is simply fantastic.

Epic summer nights...

It already became a tradition that a dear friend of mine and food-lover invites for her birthday summer party to a very old and magical property in the east of France. Those parties are always planned to perfection. Flower and candle decoration, a wide range of vegan, gluten free and regular cakes and sweets, colorful salads, homemade bread... I could go on here for hours. Sometimes, I wonder why Lena is no professional event manager (yet). It is truly impressive how she enjoys organizing and preparing events like that (very far in advance ;) ). 

To use up scraps...

Why we all need to smoothie...

Green, pink, orange... they come in any color and by now you can buy them at every corner. Smoothies are the milkshake of this decade. What they all have im common: they pretend to be super healthy. 
I don't want to frustrate you but it's not that easy.

TEFF - a small grain makes it big

Shalom. 
The last turn of the year I spend together with my boyfriend at our friends' home in the north of Israel, close to Haifa. This diverse country with its impressive historical and religious background has been on my To-Travel list for a long time already. Marked by intense color and odor explosions in the hustle and bustle of ever-present market scenarios, fascinating architecture with those oh so beautiful and colorful onion towers, but simultaneously popular for its pale, stone colored landscape and occasionally endless desert. Israel, I was hooked from the very first moment. Also culinary speaking, Israel was a blast. Even before the trip to Israel, Hummus and Tahini constituted basics in my small kitchen. But the quality and quantity of these products I experienced in Israel went far beyond my imagination. Hummus as spread, dip or soup; Tahini in smoothies, dressings and cake... limitless options. It was the inspiring river kitchen fairy personally, who introduced me to the secrets of fermented kombucha tea, shared ancient soaking wisdom and enchanted me with endless options the dehydrator offers. Well-known foods as well as completely new taste experiences, it was a great balance. As welcome breakfast, for instance, our Israeli friends served stuffed gluten free pancakes made from teff flour. Guess what.. preparation of this comforting simple dish was my wonderful job from this point in time. And this one is simpliest, I promise!

Review Bali & Savoury Pancakes

I love food. I love everything about it. Buying, preparing and eating it.
However, sometimes I fast to cleanse my body from the inside out and to reconnect with my beliefs and find new inspiration.
