Eriskay – Caribbean flair in Scotland

If you want to enjoy some Caribbean Flair with white beaches and turquoise water in Scotland you should travel to the outer Hebrides. The Isle of Eriskay gives you exactly this summer holiday feeling.

When my brother and I decided for Scotland as our travel destination, we imagined everything but white beaches and turquoise water. We hadn’t planned to lounge lazily at the beach. We wanted to hike up mountains, see castles, drink Whisky and watch Scotsmen throwing around with tree trunks.

Today I want to present to you a person, with whom I’m somehow befriended. She is the proof that online friendships DO exist and that The Sims connects people. Ramona and I met indeed at an  online forum for the PC Game The Sims. Yes, back in the day I was a little ‘mono-gamer’  (sims 2 […]

Sweet Sushi High time for a new sushi recipe, eh? Today’s recipe is inspired by my grandma. Grandma always cooked rice pudding just for me and her. The rest of the family didn’t like this dish at all. When grandma cooked rice pudding, she took the biggest pot she could find in the kitchen and […]

Okonomiyaki, Cats and Cosplay with Senta

Classical recipe for Okonomiyaki by Senta. I was petting cats and Senta was cooking japanese - for my series 'Food from Friends' a culinary journey to friends. Now on Purple Avocado.

Okonomiyaki This unpronounceable word was still foreign to me – until I made myself a home in Senta’s living-kitchen area where she cooked for us while I cuddled with her cats. I would find out soon enough that ‘okonomiyaki’ would become an inherent part of my vocabulary. (Cat photos can be found at the end […]

Banana Bread with Dates and Walnuts. Nicely soft and juicy with only little / none added sugar. Vegan. Recipe on Purple Avocado

Happy New Year! Having wallowed in gluttony for the last months it’s probably time to consume salad and tea only for the upcoming weeks. It’s time to glower at the box with white flour and refined sugar and banish them to the back row in the cabinet. In short – we’re gonna detox all those […]
