Last week, I ordered celery stalks through my on-line Bio store. Delivered instead was a hairy ball that reminded me of Wilson from the Cast Away film. Turns out I received celery root instead. Not having much practise cooking with celery root in the past, I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. But, … Continue reading Celery root can be a Superstar

Celebrating Thanksgiving and Erntedankfest
Yesterday was the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday. Thanksgiving in Germany, known as Erntedankfest, is also celebrated in October (usually the first Sunday), but is not a national holiday like in Canada. Feeling inspired by all the family dinner get-togethers and celebrations I was seeing on my Canadian family and friend’s Facebook pages, I decided that we … Continue reading Celebrating Thanksgiving and Erntedankfest
Not an old auntie cauliflower dish
I used to think cauliflower was the most boring vegetable in the world. It was rarely one of my picks on a veggie platter, next to broccoli which was equally as boring to eat. I’m guessing that’s why veggie dips were invented. When hubby does his weekly farmers market shopping, he often comes home with … Continue reading Not an old auntie cauliflower dish
Quer durch den Kühlschrank
With today being a cooler day, bringing gusts of wind that sprayed rain sideways, I decided soup for supper was needed to ease the melancholy.

Even … Continue reading Quer durch den Kühlschrank

Love your friends
Last week, I received a surprise package in the mail from a very dear friend, whom I have known since kindergarten. Inside was a Canadian Living magazine, which I subscribed to when I lived in Canada. It was such a treat to receive! But what struck me more was the card she had sent along … Continue reading Love your friends
Excited about Bio
No, I don’t suddenly have a passion for Biology. The Bio I am excited for is all about food (surprise!), which is the name given here in Germany for organic food. Our meals over the years have grown steadily to include more natural food while the consumption of packaged food or meals has greatly declined. … Continue reading Excited about Bio
What makes us happy?
Curious as to which country has the healthiest people, I did a search on the Internet and came across this article called: 7 Countries With the Healthiest People. What I found interesting is that it wasn’t just climate or access to a variety of fresh food that defined where the healthiest people reside, but a … Continue reading What makes us happy?
Winter food
It’s hard to believe that the first day of winter was only yesterday. It feels like we have been living in darkness for weeks, and the colder weather mixed with snow hardly felt like autumn. My preference for food now seems to follow the rhythm of the seasons. Especially living here, where produce is influenced … Continue reading Winter food
