Babka and Cookies and Rye, Oh My !

Kerrin — Mon, 27 May 2013 17:49:55 +0000

A few months before going to New York City, I heard about a new bakery whose rugelach and babka were getting a whole lot of attention. (Thanks Niko of DessertBuzz !) On to my “must” list it went. But this time, I didn’t actually have a long list of places to go and sweets to [...]

Postcards from New York City’s Famous Greenmarket

Kerrin — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 21:13:31 +0000

You all know of my love for markets. That means at home in Zürich, every Tuesday and Friday morning at my beloved Bürkliplatz, as well as the local markets in Sicily, Berlin, France’s Basque Country and really, anywhere my travels take me around the world. And right now, that means New York City. My list of favorites [...]

Countdown to Zürich’s Chocolate Event of the Year (+ ticket giveaway !)

Kerrin — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:01:15 +0000

What exactly happened to February is a bit of a mystery. It somehow passed by in the blink of an eye, lost in a flurry of deadlines, diapers and a whole lot of chocolate. (Not complaining at all.) And now here we are in March, which in Zürich is a confusing ping pong game of [...]

From Sweet 2012 to Even Sweeter 2013

Happy New Year to all ! 2012 was simply an extraordinary year. It was incredibly exciting on both a personal and professional level. Best and most important of all was my newest and most delicious sweet indulgence that I continue to devour every single day… our little girl !! A happy and healthy baby who [...]

To the Market We Go, a Weekly Must

Kerrin — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:01:09 +0000

I love going to the market. But you already knew that. You would think that after four years of going to the same market once or twice a week, every week, it would get less exciting. Nope. I love my dear Bürkliplatz market. In the spring, when it’s overflowing with a rainbow of tulips and [...]

Slow Food Market Returns to Zürich

Kerrin — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 15:21:01 +0000

Tables and tables of “slow food” approved products once again filled the Messe event space in Zürich. Recognizable by its logo of a snail, Slow Food continues its mission of “good, clean and fair” (bon, propre et juste / gut, sauber und fair), promoting food that satisfies the senses, is environment-friendly, health-friendly too, is at [...]

Chocolate Roundup #11: USA & Switzerland

Kerrin — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 17:05:34 +0000

Over the course of a year (and even just a month), my chocolate stash fills up, empties, fills up again and re-empties itself many times. There are always new bars to taste and brands to discover near and far. I’ll start with the one bar that impressed me the most this year, so far. And… [...]

A Sweet Feast at Lampart’s

Kerrin — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 09:54:02 +0000

When I learned that my fellow sweet toothed dessert blogger, Brian Jaeger, and I share not only the same passion but the same birthday, two things were very clear. There would be a celebratory meal. And there would be many desserts. To add even more sweetness to the table, my friend and baking guru Nick [...]

The Quintessential Swiss Mt. Village (with a whole lot of wood!)

Kerrin — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 09:30:47 +0000

On a recent weekend getaway with my husband to a small Alpine village in Switzerland’s southeastern region of Graubünden, I realized three things: 1. You can never take enough photos of flower boxes, old stone water fountains and crooked timber houses 2. I am obsessed with the way the Swiss keep their wood 3. You [...]

Summer Smörgåsbord: A Swedish Feast in Zürich

Kerrin — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 21:14:56 +0000

There are many things we have to look forward to here in Zürich during the summer: the sun, a bustling atmosphere along the lake, pedal boats, hiking among wild flowers, picnics… and the Swedish Summer Smörgåsbord at Au Premier restaurant. While it’s only been an annual event for me and my friends for a couple [...]
