Saying goodbye to 2017
Reading Time: < 1 minute This past year has been challenging, to say the least, however they do say nothing worth having ever comes easy. I’d like to look back on a few memories and share them with you, to be thankful for those many (many) good people and things in my life, and to…
Tomato marmalade
Reading Time: 3 minutes The year isn’t over yet but here I come with the very popular recipe I promised: the delicious and original tomato marmalade. It can sound a tad strange, since tomato is an ingredient usually associated to savoury and not sweet, but this marmalade is perfect to pair with many savoury…
Clementine Glühwein – mulled wine

And,…
Schnitzel mit Kochkäse und Musik – Breaded cutlet with cheese and “music”
Reading Time: 3 minutes Personally, I never really understood what all the fuss was about when it came to breaded cutlet.
