Lemon and Almond Spaghetti

June 8, 2023June 8, 2023Leave a comment

Traveling people, traveling flora Even after traveling for many years, one thing that never ceases to amaze me is how you can arrive in a world that seems totally different after just a few hours of travel. When I am going from Vienna to my parents in the south of Spain, there is always this … Continue reading Lemon and Almond Spaghetti

Leek and roasted tomato risotto

April 5, 2023Leave a comment

Catalan springWhen we got out of the car, the smell of woodfire and barbecue welcomed us. The sky was blue without any visible cloud, and the sun was warm for a February day. The source of the barbecue smell was the restaurant we were heading to for lunch. We were in the hills that surround … Continue reading Leek and roasted tomato risotto

Zucchini Dip

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

The beauty of some man-made landscapes... The rice fields were one of my favourite things on Bali.
Such a typical sight in Vienna, the fiaker (horse carriages). Maybe one day I should try, now that summer seems to be here.
So looking forward for summer to come! But Australia in April was a good first taste of sunshine. Still dreaming of the beautiful view from the Tomaree summit.
I could get up early for this sunrise every day!
Tirta Empul Temple in Bali. The temple has a holy spring of which the water is used for purification. It was founded in the 10th century and is, for me, a truly beautiful place with a calming atmosphere - despite the other tourists.
Evening light after a warm spring day in the very dry south of Spain. Though one similarity with Vienna this time of year: beautiful blossoms.
