Australia Day Recipe – Lamingtons -

Passports and Pamplemousse 01/13/14 20:42
Growing up down undah’ was an unintentional luxury, that unfortunately, I took for granted. I suppose it’s kind of like people who live by the ocean; they always tell me they rarely actually go to the beach, because they live there so they assume they have...

Dulce de Leche -

Passports and Pamplemousse 01/26/14 16:34
In Argentina we are passionate about four things: Fútbol, Asado, Tango and dulce de leche. So much so that back in 2003, Argentina attempted to declare dulce de leche (literally meaning sweet milk) their national product. It’s ours! They insisted with great...

Sweet Potato Carrot Soup -

Passports and Pamplemousse 01/21/14 09:35
For a not-so-handsome little vegetable, the humble sweet potato is actually a powerhouse of nutritional goodness, packed with vitamins, potassium, magnesium, carotenoids, iron and other goodies. Combined with antioxidant-rich, vision-boosting carrots, some...

Passports and Pamplemousse 02/08/14 15:05
It’s that time of year. The anticipation of Spring is making the nights seem longer and the weekends more pleasant. But then it happens… a bout of snow to remind you that you’re not quite there yet. Old man winter is still in season, so I wanted to share...

Lemon Poppyseed Yogurt Cake -

Passports and Pamplemousse 01/04/14 13:03
As a child growing up in Australia, I have fond memories of a freshly baked, warm-out-of-the-oven Lemon Poppyseed cake. I have adapted a recipe which can be used to bake a either cake, loaf, gugelhupf or muffins… I love the tartness of the fresh lemon zest...

Glühwein (Mulled Wine) -

Passports and Pamplemousse 11/24/13 14:42
There is probably nothing more enchanting and nostalgic than enjoying a mulled wine, or Glühwein, in the winter time. I have created my own recipe so that you can enjoy it in the comfort of your own home, or near your own fireplace… Add the following ingredients...

Coconut Macaroons (Gluten-Free) -

These coconut macaroons always satisfy my sweet tooth. They are so easy to make, and absolutely delicious warm. 200g of Shredded Coconut 1 pkt of Vanilla Sugar (Europe) (10g if using homemade) or Vanilla Essence 1/2 Cup of Sugar 1 tablespoon of Coconut...

Christmas Markets in Germany -

Passports and Pamplemousse 11/18/13 10:24
The heavenly smell of candied roasted almonds, and the romance of enjoying mulled wine outside near a bonfire are two of my favorite things about Christmas time in Germany. It’s all so very festive, so traditional… so German… so, the way it should be! and...

Powerhouse Cranberry Sauce -

I recently put this sauce together to accompany a roasted goose dinner we prepared for St. Martin’s day in Germany. Using fresh ingredients, this sauce is an antioxidant rich, immune boosting powerhouse that can be served warm or cold. Leftovers can be...

I’ve got the whole wide world in… a tin box -

Passports and Pamplemousse 05/05/15 03:01
… but not just any tin box. Two shiny new retro vintage fabulous tin boxes which I picked up at my favorite little gift store in Munich: the Doppler Shop. To say that I love to travel is an understatement. If I had only one wish in life, it would be that...
Spring n’ Succulents -

Passports and Pamplemousse 05/02/15 16:21
SPRING makes me anxious. Not in an adverse way, but in an eager and contently impatient way. I am a summer baby. I live off of sunshine, bare feet and being outdoors in the warm air: the hotter the better. Spring makes me eager for longer days and shorter...
Lemon Curd -

Passports and Pamplemousse 03/21/15 14:28
We spent a few days in the Italian coast town of Bellaria. I absolutely love the isolation and stillness of the seaside in the winter time. I love waking up early to take a walk on the half frozen sand and watch the sun rise – being greeted by just a few...

Re-Furbished bed side tables -

Passports and Pamplemousse 02/01/15 17:45
I have a hard time throwing anything out. Even if it’s something really ugly. Like these side-tables which we scored many years ago in a fully furnished corporate-job-in-Switzerland apartment deal. At the end of the contract, the company who owned this...

Plantains – Cooking Bananas -

Passports and Pamplemousse 03/31/14 14:37
There is one thing I fell absolutely head over heels in love with during all my travels to Latin America. One curved little thing that comes in a variety of stages of “ripeness” and that can be cooked a thousand different ways! The platano, or plantain...

Dampfnudeln -

Passports and Pamplemousse 03/17/14 13:48
The name is rather misleading. The words Dampf (steam) and nudeln (noodles) don’t seem to do this traditional southern German dessert dish justice. I have come up with my own Dampfnudel recipe, based on the traditional sweet dish, which comes with vanilla...

Dining Out around the World: the Doggy Bag -

Passports and Pamplemousse 02/20/14 21:37
We were recently in our favorite Munich Brauhaus for lunch with a friend who was visiting from the US. Her portion of käsespätzle was far too generous for her and she simply couldn’t finish her meal. She asked me if I could ask the waiter in German for...
