For Christmas, I got one of my favourite presents from my friend Annette - a cookbook! This one was the hummingbird bakery cookbook full of yummy recipes for cupcakes, cookies etc. So after months, I finally got down to making something from it. I chose the simplest of all recipes,...

A Gourmet experience in Entlebuch
Image
After a really long time, we had the pleasure of being invited to attend a gourmet lunch with a friend in Entlebuch. That, my friends, is actually really in the middle of nowhere(!!)....no, not true, it is smack in the middle of old Switzerland (Ur-Schweiz). Believe it or not, after... Continue reading

A Swiss Frangipani
Image
Friends of Alex gave us some plants 2 summers ago. One was a baby Frangipani. By now, we are fully aware of my luck with plants (a cherry blossom bonsai and a maple bonsai died while in my care....) and we weren't expecting the plants to last that long. Well,... Continue reading

How to spice up your Saturday!

The Gentlemen's Run was an event sponsored by the Gentlemen's Report, a new lifestyle magazine for men. Anyone who could bicycle could take part in it.....provided they were dressed up for it!

Chocolate Orange Cake

While I was in Malaysia, the only time we actually spent a lot of time in the kitchen was to bake. Food is sooooo cheap in Malaysia that it makes more sense to buy them rather than prepare them yourselves at home. And since I always crave for the local... Continue reading

Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies
Image
This has got to be one of the easiest to bake peanut butter cookies. It still does not top my mom's own recipe but sometimes one has to think of one's own convenience. And this one certainly is a recipe for keeps. I got it from the 'Almost Bourdain' blog.... Continue reading

Marlborough Vineyards

Picture perfect (with no photoshopping!) ! In New Zealand, while we were driving around the South Island, we crossed the Marlborough plains and passed all these beautiful and picturesque vineyards twice in fact thanks to bad weather in Nelson. It at least made up for us not being able to... Continue reading

Wir haben nun eine erste kleine Auswahl dieser Unikate erhalten und... Continue reading
