How to Cook White Asparagus
There are many things I love about spring: Easter eggs, cherry blossoms, the days getting longer and warmer. And then there's Spargelzeit. Or "asparagus time" in English. It's when the whole of Germany goes crazy for white asparagus. It's
Foraged Wild Garlic Pesto
We do love pesto a lot in our house, and nothing tastes quite as good as home made pesto. After our foraged nettle pesto from last year, I've got another favourite pesto recipe to share with you, this time with
Gorse Flower Cordial
The hills are ablaze with flowering yellow gorse again right now. The colour is so beautiful, and you can smell the scent of coconut in the air. After we got bitten by the foraging bug a few years ago, we

Foraged Nettle Pesto
Foraging for food, and then cooking with your foraged bounty, is one of the great joys of life. A real back to nature experience. Living in the city, we are a bit limited but there are still options around us,
Mini Eggs Easter Bark
Today I've got a super simple Easter treat for you, that you can make with just two or three ingredients: chocolate, and mini eggs. Sure, you could just eat them separately, but it just makes it feel that little bit
Dreikönigskuchen – Three Kings’ Cake (GF)
Happy Epiphany! Or 'Three Kings Day' as we call it in Germany (though the Bible doesn't actually mention there were three of them, just that they brought three gifts!) It's a feast day which in Western Christianity commemorates the visit
