“No, I am serious, this is the very best cheese nibble I have eaten in my life!” isn’t exactly the worst kind of feedback to receive when you have just spent roughly 2 hours in the ...
My dear grandpa is a very generous man, whenever he receives a gift from somebody he usually passes it on to me or one of his daughters. This not only includes little giveaways from the pharmacy, but...
If you are only half the dessert lover that I am, you will most likely start to hyperventilate when I mention the name Christine Manfield. The acclaimed Australian chef has published numerous books a...
Not sure I’m ready for 2012. Heck, not even sure I’m ready for Christmas yet. I didn’t get to bake all of my favorite cookies this year, the easiest curd stollen is on my todo-list ...
Just yesterday I forgot we already have December. I guess I’m living in denial here, but winter season is just not for me. I’m so not a snow (slush) person, I freeze easily and the hot wa...
Picture yourself on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Both laundry and shopping for the weekend are done, lunch was merely a quick snack at the market and the dinner invitation from your friends is still ma...
My favorite part of having written two cookbooks? Readers’ emails, hands down. In these hectic times where people rarely take the time to tell others how much they appreciate their work, reader...
Have you ever felt stalked by a recipe? Ok, if that sounds exaggerated or too harsh, have you ever felt that a certain recipe out of the blue enters your life and then keeps showing up all over the p...
Only a few hours after I had received an email that so brightened my day (an FYI that my second cookbook would go into 2nd printing), I was interviewed by a Swiss magazine: …and of course we to...
80. I filled more than 80 jars and bottles over the last month, some for our own pantry, some for a lovely new project. Mostly sweet jams and fruity syrups, there’s simply no way I could pass t...
This is Oliver writing. Again. What? Merely 5 months later, after my last post on Dubai, I regained temporary control over d:d and thought I’d take the opportunity to share a few impressions f...
Regular readers know I am a carb lover by heart. Bread, pasta & potatoes, my lovely trio I just cannot do without you. There’s only thing worse than not having potatoes… Read the rest...
People who know me well wouldn’t hesitate to call me an optimist, I concentrate on the positive aspects in life and do my best in cheering up sad friends. Naturally, I have ignored the fretful ...
I don’t remember the first time it happened, all I know is that it drove me crazy and it drove Oliver crazy because I got all furious when I -yet again- had spotted new tiny holes in my shirts ...
When we travel I always keep an eye out for at least one special dish or recipe that I can recreate at home and add to my ever-growing recipe repertoire. Similar to how I connect songs with places we...
Some of the recipes from my personal, day-to-day cooking repertoire I don’t consider blog-worthy. Even though they may have accompanied me throughout many years, they are typically dead simple ...
Spring has been very kind this year, the weather has been pleasantly warm and sunny, we were able to fast-forward to sandals, BBQ and homemade ice cream – no complaints at all! By now our loya...
Strawberries have always been my favorite fruit. Usually with nothing more than a little sugar – just enough to get the juices flowing – and probably a tad too much freshly whipped cream ...
Today’s post was supposed to feature one of my new sweet favorites, cold as ice and bright pink in color. But then a nasty bug stroke and I couldn’t drag myself back into the kitchen for ...
I still rave about the slice of cheesecake I had in a mall in San Francisco back in 2000, it was one of those ‘when you least expect it’ experiences. So neither were we on a quest to find...
One very compelling reason I loved visiting my friend Simone were the nibbles her mum always had on display in their living-room. No, I’m not referring to homemade treats or freshly baked cooki...
Nutritionists do their best to spread one of their favorite mantras to start the day with a balanced breakfast and never leave the house with an empty stomach. It just doesn’t work for me. I...
Seriously, if somebody would have told me six years ago that starting a blog had the life altering potential that it indeed has – in so many ways – , I would have laughed it off. But it ...
It has certainly been a while since I wrote my last article on delicious:days, usually you only get to see my views on the world – and the places Nicky and I travel to – through my travel...
Being not exactly a huge fan of neither marzipan nor Valentinsday this recipe may come to you as a surprise, but when my collagues over at Küchengötter demanded something romantic, chocolate-y for Va...
I know, I know, it’s a tease and a bit unfair to show you a preview of our upcoming book in light of the fact that it’ll be only published and available in German language, for now. Well,...
There’s one thing I really can’t imagine living without: my glorious carbs. You could cut me off from meat and even chocolate (at least for a couple of weeks), but I can’t think of ...
How is everyone doing on the Christmas gifts front? Wrong question? I so hear you, I’m terrible this year. My timing sucks, I’m still waiting for a few online orders to arrive and have al...
Life doesn’t always play along nicely. Just after we finished our book project, everybody involved got sick. One after another, almost in sync. Then hell winter broke loose on the exact day I n...
Writing a cookbook sometimes feels like living in a parallel universe, my usual daily routine got reduces to what looked like planet earth from outer space. Luckily, there is light at the end of the ...
