Lemon rice (where have you been all my life?)

23rd April 2018

Back in February, I flew over to Stuttgart for the weekend, to hang out with Mariyah. It was on this trip that I realised how addicted I am to coffee and the unbelievable heights of grumpiness brought on via caffeine deprivation but let’s not talk about that. Instead let’s talk about the amazing experience of Ram making lemon rice for… Read More

East Javanese specialty: Nasi Rawon

21st January 2018

On my trips to Indonesia, my mother always packs me a care package of spices to bring back home to Berlin. These typically contain the lowest common denominator spices that form the many base of Indonesian cuisine like whole candlenut, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, tamarind, coriander, turmeric.

Yes, I am still alive. Yes, I am eating well. Yes, I had a good winter break despite working for three days between Christmas and NYE and despite the handsome-and-talented husband being in Amsterdam with his parents on Dec 24-31. I had a very chill week, spent time with the ones I love and had most evenings to myself to… Read More

Radwulf craft beer tasting part 1: post-UWH referee training

29th October 2017

I wrote about Radwulf craft beer in my last blog post on Schwarzwald but we never got round to drinking them and having a proper tasting. The last few weeks have been mad, perhaps a bit more mad than usual, with weekends being the recovery time for our inner introverts. Drinking lots of beer just was not in our Sunday… Read More
