The woman’s shop on the street is small, no bigger than a large cupboard, but it is well stocked with local produce. On simple shelves are displayed pieces of cheese, jars of honey and eggs. There are bags of herbs, and despite the limited space, she still has a nice assortment. The woman is friendly and calm, knows her regular customers well and takes the time to talk to them. The shop does not have a luxurious appearance, but it offers exactly what you need: fresh, local produce of good quality. People from the neighbourhood like to come here, not only to do their shopping, but also because of the friendly atmosphere and the personal attention that the woman always gives. It is a modest, but important part of daily life in the neighbourhood.
De buurt rond Konstantine Eristavi Street in Tbilisi, Georgië, ligt in een historisch en levendig deel van de stad, vlak bij enkele van de belangrijkste culturele en religieuze bezienswaardigheden, waaronder de indrukwekkende Sameba-kathedraal. Het gebied biedt een mix van lokale cultuur, dagelijks leven en een authentieke winkelervaring in de kleine winkels en markten. Veel van deze winkels zijn familiebedrijven die alles verkopen, van vers fruit en groenten tot handgemaakte souvenirs en traditionele Georgische producten. De Sameba-kathedraal, op slechts een paar minuten lopen van Konstantine Eristavi Street, is een van de grootste orthodoxe kathedralen ter wereld en een belangrijk symbool van Tbilisi. Dit architectonische meesterwerk domineert de skyline van de stad en trekt zowel toeristen als pelgrims.

Het is een ideale plek om in contact te komen met de lokale bevolking en meer te leren over hun cultuur en gewoonten. De foto van het winkeltje van de vrouw is klein, niet groter dan een grote kast, maar toch goed gevuld met lokale producten. Op eenvoudige planken staan stukken kaas, potjes honing en eieren uitgestald. Er liggen zakjes met kruiden, en ondanks de beperkte ruimte, heeft ze toch een aardig assortiment. De vrouw is vriendelijk en rustig, kent haar vaste klanten goed en neemt de tijd om met hen te praten. Het winkeltje heeft geen luxe uitstraling, maar het biedt precies wat je nodig hebt: verse, lokale producten van goede kwaliteit. Mensen uit de buurt komen er graag, niet alleen om boodschappen te doen, maar ook vanwege de gemoedelijke sfeer en de persoonlijke aandacht die de vrouw altijd geeft. Het is een bescheiden, maar belangrijk onderdeel van het dagelijks leven in de buurt. De nabijheid van de kathedraal zorgt voor een rustige, bijna spirituele sfeer, in contrast met de bedrijvigheid van de markten en winkels.

In Tbilisi, loggias, conservatories and verandas are a common sight, especially in the older parts of the city. These enclosed balconies are often beautifully decorated and offer a unique way to enjoy the view of the city and its surroundings while being protected from the elements. Many of these loggias have a traditional architectural style, with colorful glass panels and sometimes wood carvings, which add to the charm of the buildings. They often serve as an additional living space, where residents can relax, tend to plants or enjoy a meal with a view. These elements make the enclosed balconies in Tbilisi a special and recognizable aspect of the city's architecture. In Georgian, it can also be specifically referred to as "balkoni" (ბალკონი), which simply means "balcony".

Sommige straten zijn smal en geplaveid, wat een gevoel van historische charme geeft, terwijl andere moderner en breder zijn. In Tbilisi zijn loggia's, serres en veranda's een veelvoorkomend verschijnsel, vooral in de oudere wijken van de stad. Deze gesloten balkons zijn vaak prachtig versierd en bieden een unieke manier om van het uitzicht op de stad en de omgeving te genieten, terwijl je beschermd bent tegen de elementen. Veel van deze loggia's hebben een traditionele architecturale stijl, met kleurrijke glazen panelen en soms houtsnijwerk, wat bijdraagt aan de charme van de gebouwen.

This authentic Neapolitan-style pizza is a perfect balance of tradition and indulgence, featuring a beautifully blistered, airy crust baked to perfection in a wood-fired oven. Topped with melted fior di latte mozzarella, hearty Italian sausage, and bitter yet flavorful rapini (broccoli rabe), this classic Pizza Salsiccia e Friarielli delivers a bold and satisfying experience. The creamy white base, rather than the traditional tomato sauce, allows the delicate flavors of the cheese and vegetables to shine, while the sausage adds a rich, savory contrast.
What sets this pizza apart is its impeccable leopard-spot charring, a signature of expertly crafted dough that has been fermented for optimal texture and depth of flavor. The crust's slightly crispy exterior gives way to a light, chewy interior, making every bite a delight. A drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil enhances the natural flavors, while a hint of red pepper flakes adds a subtle kick.
One of the most unique details is the rolled-up section of crust, slightly charred and filled with gooey, molten cheese—possibly an intentional chef’s touch or a delightful quirk of the bake. This unexpected detail adds both visual appeal and a satisfying final bite.
Served on a simple white plate with a fork and knife at the ready, this pizza is a true hidden gem for lovers of authentic Italian cuisine. Whether you're a pizza connoisseur or a casual foodie, the combination of smoky, creamy, and slightly bitter flavors makes this dish a must-try. If you’re in search of the best Neapolitan pizza, this is one worth savoring.
This classic Neapolitan-style Pizza Margherita is a masterful blend of simplicity and perfection, featuring a thin, blistered crust with signature leopard-spot charring. Fresh San Marzano tomato sauce spreads evenly across the base, its bright acidity balanced by the creamy richness of melted mozzarella di bufala. Fragrant basil leaves add a fresh herbal touch, while a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil enhances every bite with a smooth, peppery finish.
The dough—expertly fermented and cooked in a high-temperature wood-fired oven—yields a light, airy texture with just the right amount of chew. The slightly charred edges are a hallmark of true Neapolitan pizza, offering a smoky contrast to the sweet, tangy tomato sauce. The mozzarella melts into silky, bubbling pools, creating an irresistible blend of flavors and textures.
Beyond its simple ingredients, this Margherita pizza embodies the essence of Italian culinary tradition. First created in Naples in 1889, the dish was said to be inspired by Queen Margherita of Savoy, with the colors of the Italian flag represented in its toppings—red tomatoes, white mozzarella, and green basil.
Served on a classic white plate with a neatly arranged set of silverware, this pizza is both visually stunning and deeply satisfying. It's a must-try for pizza lovers who appreciate the balance of crisp crust, luscious cheese, and fresh, vibrant flavors.

Craving a slice of Italy? This tantalizing Neapolitan pizza, crowned with a generous mound of creamy burrata, is a masterpiece that will transport your taste buds straight to Naples. Set against a rustic backdrop, this pizza perfectly balances tradition and indulgence. The dough—handcrafted and wood-fired to achieve its signature leopard-spotted crust—is airy yet slightly chewy, offering the perfect foundation for the fresh, vibrant toppings.
Nestled on a bed of peppery arugula, the juicy cherry tomatoes burst with flavor, their sweetness complemented by the delicate saltiness of thinly sliced prosciutto. The pièce de résistance, the burrata, oozes with creamy decadence, creating a velvety texture that ties the whole dish together. Finished with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan and a drizzle of high-quality olive oil, each bite is a harmonious medley of savory, creamy, and tangy notes.
Served on a wooden paddle, this pizza isn't just a meal—it's an experience. The warm ambiance, golden lighting, and thoughtfully chosen ceramic plates complete the visual feast. Whether you're a pizza purist or a culinary adventurer, this dish is a celebration of authentic Italian craftsmanship with a modern flair. Pair it with a robust glass of red wine or a crisp Italian soda for the ultimate indulgence.
Perfect for sharing—or not—this burrata-topped pizza is an Instagram-worthy delight that begs to be savored. From its artisanal crust to its luxurious toppings, it's a reminder of why simple, high-quality ingredients always steal the show.

Glenwood Springs, Colorado - June 24, 2025: Amish booth at a farmers market, with children working and making pretzels and selling jams
1. Some Ingredients for Sülze, 2. Making Sülze Stock, 3. Boiling Garnish in Stockpot, 4. Garnish for Sülze, 5. Sülze: hot meats, 6. Sülze: garnish, hot meats, parsley, 7. Clarifying Stock, 8. Stock after clarifying, 9. Sülze, 10. Sülze: turned-out, 11. Sülze, sliced, 12. Summer Food
This takes 2 days to prepare. Here's a recipe from an earlier occasion:
½ pig’s head; 1 trotter (helps jelly to set); 1 onion; 2 sticks celery (better still: a thick slice of celeriac); 1 large carrot; good handful parsley (stalks are fine); 1 tsp each: coriander & lightly crushed pepper; pinch carraway seeds (if handy); 2 cloves; 2 bay leaves; 3 crushed juniper berries;
Wash the head and trotter, cover with water (about 3 l) and bring to the boil. Pour off water, flush with cold water and rinse thoroughly. Shave off the bristles and trim obvious dirty and bristly bits between the trotter’s toes and from the head. Just cover with fresh water, bring to a lively simmer and skim repeatedly for the first 30 min. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Add the spices and roughly chopped stock vegetables and simmer for 4h.
Drain and chill stock in a smaller pot (preferably in a water- or icebath). Discard the vegetables. Trim off and chill the meat (work quickly, leaving the meat whole—it cuts easier when cold. The skin and thick layer of fat on the cheek can be trimmed off separately: I add some of the skin to the meat and make crackling and lard with the fat).
2-3 tbsp white wine (or cider) vinegar; 150 g lean gammon; 1 egg white; 2 gherkins; ½ jar mushrooms or 50g small button mushrooms steamed and marinated (this can simply be done in pickle juice); 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
Lift the fat off the stock. Poach the gammon in it for about 20 minutes and set aside. Lightly beat the eggwhite until it just holds air then stir into the stock and and reduce to just over ½ pint. The eggwhite will clarify the stock. Add the vinegar to taste and adjust seasoning. Pour through a fine metal sieve set over a colander with a double or tripple layer of muslin. Use immediately.
While the stock is reducing, cut the cold meats into neat cubes. Finely slice the mushrooms and chop the gherkins. Mix with the parsley and a little white pepper.
Prepare a suitable mold (a loaf tin is ideal). Lining the mold with clingfilm makes it easiest to lift out the finished product and also serves to keep it covered. Otherwise rub with a little oil; the Sülze can then be upended onto a plate after dipping the dish briefly into hot water. Loosely arrange the cubed meats and garnish, adding the clarified stock as you go. Chill quickly (best in an ice bath), cover with clingfilm and leave to set for 3h to overnight in the fridge. Eat within 2 days, served with gherkins, pickled onions, made mustard, flaky salt, white pepper and light rye bread or potato salad plus, of course, beer (or cider). Tip: use a large, heavy knife to slice. For neat results, dip the blade into hot water and apply gentle but firm pressure. An electric meat slicer is best for sandwich-thin slices.

Kale is a traditionally winter dish in Northern Germany.
This year I decided cook some myself, but mid march was really late in the season. I actually bought some of the last bits of cabbage and the last 3 "kohlwurst"'s that I could find on the Saturday farmer's market.
As you see fresh kale takes up lot's of space due to it’s stupidly curly leaves.
