The First Supper

Depending on where you live in the world a pregnancy can be filled with rules on how to behave. Especially when it comes to FOOD. I have the feeling that every country has there own regulation on what is dangerous or good for the baby. Being a foreigner living in Germany I have been confronted with a long list of rules. In Sweden, … Read More

The other week my friend Gisela arranged the most amazing baby shower  ever. It was not really a surprise since she had actually asked me if I have a certain gift wish. Hm.. What do you wish for? Personally I usually rather give a gift for the MOM than to the baby (since most people I know are very specific in … Read More

I was interviewed for the latest Berlin guide from the creative guys by Liganova. The other day the Berlin Inspires Guide arrived here in Berlin and I can highly recommend it for anyone planning a trip here this summer. Apart from getting it directly from Liganovas online shop you can purchase it at The Store in Soho House.

Dream Weekend in Stockholm

Stockholm was built to show off from the water so, for me, waterfront is the perfect place to stay when you visit Stockholm in the spring or in the summer. Fredrik Skogkvist shot the Stockholm chapter of my book just off the island Skeppsholmen. I love this part of the city! Design Hotels and The Bread Exchange are teaming up with a giveaway … Read More

Spring Maxfield

SPRING MAXFIELD, SANTA ROSA I was connected with Spring when I was in NY. I was told Spring is the spider in the net of Northern California food lovers. Imagine that, a secret food market based on trading (not money) in the most fertile foodie region in the USA. But Spring is so much more than that. She is the mother of … Read More
