Why I would not wear high heels for Octoberfest

Nadia

It took me 10 years in Germany before I dared to take part in the Octoberfest, also called Wiesn. I love to travel to southern Germany (amazing food culture – way broader than beer and sausage). The reason why I didn’t go was actually that I am not too found of beer. Why  I ended up going  after all is … Read More

Tel Aviv is in the house

I was not aware how poetic the Hebrew language is. Did you know that the words Sadness – עצב- and Create/design-לעצב- has the same word stem? I think that is a beautiful thought. And so true. There is a limitation to creativity if you are lacking the pain. ———————————- I have a friend from Israel visiting me here in Berlin. She brought … Read More

A moonraker bread for a moonraker movienight

Such an unexpected trade! The green jar is filled with ramsons pesto. I promise you there will be ramsons bread to trade as soon as you tell me that you are ready for making winter soups!

Der Berliner Stil

Angelika Taschen has, together with Alexa von Heyden, put together a very nice selection of Berlin addresses that are not to be missed when visiting our city. That they also decided to put The Bread Exchange – even though I don’t even have an address to share – flattered me. On the other hand, I guess the Bread Exchange is … Read More

The idea was brought to me through a trade in Antwerp. This is my post about the Bread from 2010. Try for yourself, I would have 2 loafs … Read More

I like Poland. And Polish people must like Bread.

The other week there was a story about the Bread Exchange in the weekend issue Wysokie Obcasy (high heels) of the main daily Polish Newspaper .

Bread must really be playing an … Read More

Metohi Kindelis is a almost 400 year old farm which is today turned into 3 very private apartments. Every apartment has its own secret garden with pool and they is absolutely completely private. There are different advantages in every apartment so it all depends on your needs and likings. I choose to stay in the one with the wildest garden since … Read More

In the latest issue of the German Harper’s Bazaar they asked me for my favorite hide away. I answered Metohi Kindelis on Crete. Since the article is not really an article, rather a note, and on top of that it is in German, the upcoming days I thought I give you some pictures from this just stunning place. The House … Read More
