In and around my kitchen - 9 favorite tools of 2011

Nicky — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 10:15:00 +0000

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 for tomorrow (yes, there is still time to bake this tasty stollen for Christmas – so really no excuse here!) and two presents are still waiting to be bought.

Time flies when you're having fun - New Christmas tags for you

Nicky — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 19:16:28 +0000

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 water bottle is my best friend during the upcoming cold months. Not to mention the whole Christmas shopping frenzy. Thank god some aspects make it all worthwhile, especially on the food end!

Tiny holes in your favorite shirts? Kitchen mystery solved.

Nicky — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 17:42:35 +0000

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 or pullovers and couldn’t for the life of it figure out how they got in there in the first place. I almost felt haunted, certainly an unsolved mystery for a long time.

Entering year no.7 & some readers' favorites

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 most definitely does! Today I’m blessed with a job I couldn’t love more, I have written two cookbooks and made dear friends along the way.

Cookbook no.2: Done, done & done!

Nicky — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 09:38:27 +0000

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 tunnel. Now that we are (almost) finished, I keep asking myself where the last months went and what actually happened in the world outside my office (and kitchen) and Coco’s studio.

It was about time - deliciousdays.com gets a redesign

Nicky — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 11:10:49 +0000

Ok, we blew it, let our blog down. We had plans for our fifth blog birthday in March, big plans. We had talked about a major redesign, threw initial ideas and concepts in the air, hoping to see them fall on fertile ground, but somehow there was always something more important to do. A photography job, some design projects, and of course the new book. Yet, – bad conscience omnipresent – each time I visited our little foodblog, I could feel an increasing urge to revamp it from the ground up, to give it an opposite and distinct new look.
