A juicy raw kale salad that’s a perfect health kick between all your Christmas cookies (and any other time of the year too). Super easy, healthy and even raw food sceptics loved it!

If you’re looking for a cozy Christmas Market in Hamburg, then head to the one at Apostelkirche in Eimsbüttel. Here you won’t be swamped by people, and can enjoy the best mulled wine, doughy waffles and vegan burgers around the fire place.

Paris was an interesting struggle:  one the one hand, plentiful avo-toast cafés* with pricey banana bread and flat whites.…

Hamburg used to be scarce on açai bowls… Not anymore! I tested all nine places, all quite different from one another but also very different from what I excepted. . . Here I tried to describe them each by their consistency, taste, toppings, and price. You’ll see which ones are my favorites for which reason.

• Eimsbüttel • Knödel • Alpine Flair • Casual •

Sometimes I write an entry after my first outing in a new café – I guess, there’s no second try needed to convince me – or maybe just because I can’t afford to sample each dish in every café between school, sport, piano… 🙃  However, in other places I do wait a whole year desperate to be enlightened with each individual of their recipes.  Even if I love everything from the first day.

That’s Alpenkantine.

• Ottensen • Poached Eggs • Avocado • Pancakes •

I have the impression that the new standard for breakfast places is avocado toast with poached eggs, at least in Germany that’s the new discovery. It seems to somehow qualify an eatery to some higher level. Or maybe it just makes me think that they have some higher concept? Something “better” than just nicely assorted fruit, three different kinds of German rolls and samples of jam and cheese. However nice it’s made up to be, that is just not my cup of tea.

A Hipster Breakfast in Hamburg

In Berlin avocado toast and real good pancakes aren’t a new thing. But in Hamburg the only avocado and poached egg combo I’ve had so far was in my kitchen. Then, I came upon RAIN Cafeatery in the heart of Ottensen.
