I give you a reason not to go to Bretagne.

These desserts are too good. Like Nancy said, one gain 12 pounds in a week. ———————– At the Bastille Market yesterday an incredibly sweet American Lady stepped in and helped me with translation.

Breakfast Heaven in Paris

Sunday morning wearing my Frees. The rest of my team are still sleeping. I walk fast to Bastille, the spot where, I guess one could say, the French revolution started in 1789 (on the weddingday of my Parents), and where I just have to be every sunday morning when I visit Paris. The reason is the Farmers market. This was … Read More

Cooking Session – Pumpkin

Ladies night at Casa Ehrl in Tiergarten. Love the hallway. And I love our chaos. It was all about pumpkins. This is how you do it.

Cooked with Coconut, ginger and cinnamon.

Kaiserschmarrn’

This comment from Rahel during my 2 weeks in München in August provoked me quite a bit. How could I, after 11 years in Germany, have missed the best Dessert in the world, ever? [vimeo]http://vimeo.com/29650618[/vimeo] Of course I had to go to the bottom with this. I went on a little researchtrip to learn how to do it right. Hertha … Read More

die kleine Schwarze

The invitation to Oktoberfest in München couldn’t have come a a better time. I had been touring the south and even bought my first dirndl. I had made my research on the subject and visited Allgäu, Salzburg and Fischbachau to get the knowledge from the locals. No München bling bling please. I bought my dress in Vienna but it was … Read More
