Although I am not exactly the biggest fruit addict and I usually prefer something spicy and salty over something sweet, there is always some fruits found in our kitchen. Most of the time, it’s a bunch of bananas. And because we almost never manage to eat them all before they turn slightly brown, we often use them to prepare a …

CULINARY IDEAS | what to cook and eat on road trips & cmaping trips
Cooking on camping trips can be a nightmare for many and many think it is close to impossible to cook something more than a bowl of spaghetti or scrambled eggs on a small gas or electric stove outside in the nature.

CULINARY JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD – best food & dishes from different countries
In these weird times when we cannot travel and we are spending our days mostly at home, it is good to have a few options and ideas to keep us busy. Amongst other things, our favourite activity these days is definitely cooking. As a result, fairly obsessive eating is one as well, to be honest. I don´t know about you …
dinner at a Michelin 3 *** restaurant | AQUA, Wolfsburg, Germany
Eating at a Michelin star restaurant has to be one of those things many people who love exquisite food have on their “do at least once in a lifetime list”. And it is not just about good food.

PORTUGAL food & drinks | typical Portuguese dishes and what to eat in Portugal
Back home, we don´t eat out that often, but when travelling we love to taste something local or something we never tried before (of course there are some borders at experimenting ;)).

BALI food & drinks | typical Balienese dishes and what to eat in Bali
We were really looking forward to INDONESIAN CUISINE, especially because we were never in Indonesia before and have never eaten in a proper Indonesian restaurant where we live. We ate something similar in Malaysia, Thailand and the rest of SE Asia, but you know, it´s never the same. Balinese cuisine does have some of its own specialities, which demonstrate indigenous …
LAOS food & drinks | typical lao dishes and what to eat in Laos
We were so happy to see FRENCH BAGUETTE, the first thing I ordered when we arrived into Luang Prabang was a TUNA SANDWICH. I would most certainly not do that if we were not already travelling for weeks and I really missed good BREAD for breakfast. Red wine was still too luxurious for our pockets, but 600mL BEER LAO made …
VIETNAM food & drinks | typical Vietnamese dishes and what to eat in Vietnam
One evening in Ho Chi Minh City we wanted to try something truly Vietnamese. We saw a very nice restaurant, so we decided to give it a try.
