Nicky — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:05:27 +0000

My dear grandpa is a very generous man, whenever he receives a gift from somebody he usually passes it on to me or one of his daughters. This not only includes little giveaways from the pharmacy, but – and this is obviously the better part – more food gifts than anybody could ever eat on his own.

Grandma Luise's bacon lettuce - A favorite from my childhood

Nicky — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 19:04:26 +0000

Some of the recipes from my personal, day-to-day cooking repertoire I don’t consider blog-worthy. Even though they may have accompanied me throughout many years, they are typically dead simple and hardly need written instructions. So I thought.
