Spring is in the air...

... and on my plate.
Today I passed by the market in the Viadukt and was very happy to see all the wonderful spring vegetables at the stall of Käsers Schloss. I couldn't resist and bought all these wonderful green things for dinner.

Artichokes, barba di frate, fresh peas, watercress, mint, parsley and chervil

Tanzania

I spent my winter break in Tanzania (close to Arusha), I was there for two weeks and it was bliss! Not just due to the warm weather, wonderful scenery and relaxed days but also the amazing food!

Unlike what one might expect the country offers an incredible diversity of produce! All kinds of fruit and vegetables, fish from the coast, beef, lamb, goat, chicken, and spices, spices, spices!


I highly recommend a visit to the market in Arusha's town center!





Good produce means good food. At least it is essential for good food. We were lucky - Nasib, who took care of our culinary needs, knew exactly what he was doing. Meals were simple but delicious!



Breakfast: a plate of fresh fruit every day and either pancakes or eggs and bacon



Lunch and dinner: salad, avocado, vegetables, curry, okra, grilled meat, curry, rice, sweet potatoes...

Market in Budapest

One of our road trip stops was Budapest. I went to a great market in Pest with a local friend.




Wonderful pickled things!



 We bought amazing Mangalica meat - woolly pig.
