Zucchini Dip

December 4, 2022December 4, 2022Leave a comment

The lunch question “What are we doing today for lunch?”For the past ten months, this has been the question that comes up almost daily, each working day at around 11.45. And even though our office is in the middle of Vienna, it still also seems like the most complicated question during the day. Going somewhere … Continue reading Zucchini Dip

Pumpkin and feta pastry

November 21, 2021Leave a comment

Berat and Burek After two days full of rain in Montenegro, the sun had started shining when I crossed the border with Albania by bus. The driver of the minibus asked for the passport and Corona certificate of me and the only other passenger of the bus, and after handing that to the border controls … Continue reading Pumpkin and feta pastry

Cinnamon rolls

January 26, 2021Leave a comment

Kötbullar and kanelbullar Although I like the traditional weekly Friday afternoon drinks with colleagues, one of my favourite ways to end the working week is to kind of have to run out of the office to rush to the airport or station and take a plane or train or bus to somewhere. And on a … Continue reading Cinnamon rolls

Chicken, potato and tomato roast

December 14, 2020Leave a comment

A piri piri chicken missionOne of my favourite things to do when traveling, besides talking with locals, is trying the local food. When I just arrived in Portugal, one of the first things I saw was a WhatsApp message from my dad. That I should absolutely make it to Guia, since this little town is … Continue reading Chicken, potato and tomato roast

Pasta with Chestnut Pesto

December 6, 2020Leave a comment

Autumn in SwitzerlandWhen the train slowly rolled into Bellinzona after a beautiful trip past some of the amazing lakes and mountains of Switzerland, it was starting to get dark and it was raining. No slight drizzle, but real rain. As in, pouring down rain. I had about fifteen minutes before the reception of the hostel … Continue reading Pasta with Chestnut Pesto

Parmesan cheese, pumpkin and balsamic vinegar

November 1, 2020Leave a comment

Driving through food country It was a dark blue Lancia Ypsilon that was waiting for me. To be honest, I was a tiny bit nervous. After all I had not driven a car in about a year and I had never driven in Italy. But what is life without a bit of risk (especially if … Continue reading Parmesan cheese, pumpkin and balsamic vinegar

Deep Fried Olives

October 2, 2020October 2, 20202 Comments

Aperitivo Time It was a warm day. I could feel the sun burning quite strongly on my legs. My skin had not gotten that used to the Spanish sun yet after just a few days. A reminder to be careful and put on enough sunscreen maybe, but a reminder that made me feel very happy. … Continue reading Deep Fried Olives

Beetroot, onion and lemon dumplings

July 26, 2020July 26, 2020Leave a comment

Gnomes and Pierogi Who would have thought I would ever feel sort of nervous about crossing a border within the European Union? I certainly did not. But getting into the bus from Berlin to Wroclaw a week after borders opened again, I did have a slightly weird feeling in my stomach. It was my first … Continue reading Beetroot, onion and lemon dumplings

Spinach and Feta Stuffed Flatbread

May 28, 2020Leave a comment

Plans Clearly, things are not always going to plan. Originally the plan was to go to Iceland in May, a country I have wanted to go to for a long time. But of course, Corona came along, flights were canceled and the trip postponed to autumn. So what to do with this sudden week of … Continue reading Spinach and Feta Stuffed Flatbread

Sweet Potato and Chorizo Pastries

Traveling from home For the past few weeks, the Corona virus has been the main thing on almost everyone´s mind. Besides the heavier societal and personal implications of the virus, there are also smaller personal impacts like canceled trips and working from home. Personally, for me there are two really weird things: not actually having … Continue reading Sweet Potato and Chorizo Pastries

Reading in a travel story about Malta made me miss that place and summer weather! Beautiful little country with such a mixed history of influence of Romans, Moors, British and many others.
One of my goals of 2023: visiting my sister and her family in Australia.
Yesterday was my one year anniversary in Vienna, and today of course the last day of 2022. It's certainly been a very full, crazy and amazing year! Looking forward to making 2023 just as great.
Frohe Weihnachten!
Whatever the time of year, it's always a good time for snacks. Like this simple zucchini and tahini dip.
It starts to feel like winter, but the last time I really saw snow was on mount Osorno, a picture perfect volcano in the south of Chile. Last time it erupted was some 150 years ago but now it looks like the perfect calm and majestic mountain.
