deutsche Version Red cabbage is one of my favorite winter vegetables.

deutsche Version Chestnuts may be the not-so-secret ingredient of the season, yet in German cuisine, they usually play a role in savory dishes rather than sweet.

late summer plum jam & buttermilk scones
deutsche Version Sometimes I find myself food shopping the same way I shop for clothes. I´m looking for colors and shapes to match my mood and the upcoming season.
