Kürbissuppe - die Herbstsuppe schlechthin. Ein Klassiker im Suppenteller, oder? Trotzdem oder gerade deshalb finde ich es immer wieder spannend sie neu zu interpretieren. Dieses Jahr hab' ich sie, inspiriert vom wundervoll herbstlich gefärbten Laub, mit Apfel und frischem Kurkuma verfeinert. Klassisch und trotzdem besonders. Einfach mal ausprobieren und selbst davon überzeugen. Es ist wieder mal soweit. Die regnerischen, nebligen Tage überwiegen nun endgültig die paar verbliebenen ...
Soups of all kinds
Nothing compares to the way a beautiful bowl of soup nourishes my body & soul! I could eat soup every day & sometimes I do so for weeks...
Curry Noodle Soup with Green Veggies
When I think of Summer meals I think about vibrant colours, healthy greens & a sense of ease & lightness. And while a soup on first glance might not sound like the obvious choice in summer, this light & fresh curry noodle soup is a perfect dish for this time of year. When the temperatures rise outside we want to make things easy for our bodies. Having to bring food up to body temperature is actually something that has our body & digestive system working hard. Thus, a soup is ...
Garlicky Roasted Bell Pepper & Tomato Soup – and a farewell to summer!
It's been a wonderful, sunny and exciting summer! The days have been warm and pleasing. The food on our tables was abundant. Rich in color, smell and taste. But now it's time to say good-bye. To let go of what was and to welcome the new season. As summer leaves us, the days are getting considerably shorter while the nights are getting cooler, everything reminds us of the endless circle of life. Trees that once were strong and vibrant are now shedding their leaves. The colours in nature are ...
Green Asparagus Soup for cool spring days
I love this time of year! It's usually warm enough during the day to get out the first summer clothes and at night it's still cool and fresh enough to cuddle up and enjoy a warm cup of soup. And my fresh green asparagus soup with spinach and mint is just perfect for this kind of season. It's refreshing, light and, at the same time, comforting and satisfying. Serve it with toasted, crusty bread or eat with a sandwich or wrap for lunch or dinner. When you read through the recipe you'll see that ...
Chilled Gazpacho – for hot summer days
Wow, it's really been a while! Time has been running fast and summer is already at it's peak here in Portugal. Right now I'm sitting in the front yard of my friend's house, enjoying a chilled cup of iced tea while letting the rays of morning sunshine warm my feet. To be honest, the summer here on the central atlantic coast of Portugal hasn't been the hottest or most consistent I've ever experienced. But, there have been really hot days and moments where I wished I had a chilled gazpacho to cool ...
Vegan Curried Carrot Soup – extra creamy!
I am a soup person. I even thought about opening up a food truck which would only serve soup, back in Vienna. But as life took me down another path, I ended up here in Portugal, where my culinary homebase is not the vintage Citroen H van I had imagined, but the beautiful Mellowmove Surfcamp. And while the change of plans might have come as a surprise at the time, in my wildest dreams I wouldn't have had dared to imagine to be as fortunate as to spend my days only a stone-throw away from one of ...
