Hi and welcome to my blog!

I'm Caro and here you'll find my mostly plantbased recipes made with seasonal local ingredients. Glad you stopped by!

My latest Instragram posts

Market Saturdays are my favourite park of the weekend! 😊 Today it was really chilly for the first time this year and the smell of mulled wine & hot chocolate was lingering in the air. I took this photo a few weeks back. Peaches and figs may be gone now... but I'm totally happy about all the lovely winter greens, root veggies & cabbages that have taken over. Which one's your favourite vegetable at the moment? . . . . #markethaul #plasticfreefoodie #zerowastekitchen #wochenmarkt #kollwitzplatz #farmersmarket #shoplocal #eattherainbow #abmlifeiscolorful #f52farmstand #veggielover #freshfigs #freshherbs #heirloomtomatoes #eatyourveggies #eatyourgreens #localproduce #eatwellbewell #nourishingfood #eatmoreplants #plantbasedliving #lifeandthyme #foodwinewomen #thechalkboardeats #communitytable #flatlaytoday #flatlaynation

Good morning everyone! How pretty are my chioggia beets? 😍💕 I'm always mesmerised by the beauty one can find in nature. I'm still harvesting beautiful produce in my garden. At the moment I got these beautiful beets, pak choi, rainbow chard, kale, potatoes, leeks and Asian salad greens. The return to winter time has me waking up even earlier than usual so the extra hour gives me time to post again. 🙂 I hate that it's gonna get dark an hour earlier from now on. For food photography that means you're on an even more limited schedule. I'm definitely team summer time all year long! What do you think about the switch twice a year? Is it time to get rid of it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Contains unpaid ads, accounts linked in picture.] . . . . #chioggia #chioggiabeets #candycanebeets #beetroots #folicacid #alphalipoicacid #antioxidants #heirloomvegetables #urbanorganicgardener #growwhatyoueat #growyourownfood #meineernte #selbstversorger #organicgardening #beautifulfood #foodart #foodphotographer #candyminimal #acolorstory #naturescandy #petitejoys #eatmoreplants #eatyourveggies #wholefoodplantbased #plantbasedliving #onmytable #thechalkboardeats #f52farmstand

Hi peeps! Made this harvest smoothie bowl a little while ago when we still had local blueberries but other than that it's still pretty seasonal. I used frozen zucchini for the base, added fresh kale, beetroot greens (don't toss them - the younger leaves are perfect for smoothies or salads, larger ones taste great sauteed), a small bunch of parsley, 1/2 frozen banana, some coyo for creaminess and the zest & juice of 1/2 organic lemon. Toppings include peach & blueberries, the prettiest beetroot leaves, #beepollen, #cacaonibs, puffed amaranth, dried cornflower blossoms and more coyo. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Contains unpaid ads, accounts linked in picture.] . . . . #zerowastekitchen #harvestbowl #growyourownfood #urbanorganicgardener #meineernte #gemüsegarten #selbstversorger #seasonalproduce #greenisgood #eatyourgreens #eatmoreplants #eatwellbewell #eatrealfood #beetroot #kalelover #greensmoothie #smoothiebowl #plantbasedbreakfast #beautifulcuisines #onmytable #greenliving #f52farmstand #organicmoments #thechalkboardeats #foodart #foodstylist #cookniche

The days may still be sunny but mornings are cold, so colorful smoothie bowls have given way for more autumnal porridge bowls! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Contains unpaid ads to linked accounts.] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This one here is one of my latest obsessions: plum cinnamon chaga porridge with local walnuts, topped with seasonal goodness! My basic recipe goes as follows: 1/2 cup grain flakes (sometimes just plain oats, sometimes a mix of oats, spelt, barley & rye, sometimes millet) + 1 tsp crushed flax seeds, a small handful of roughly chopped nuts, small mashed banana, pinch of salt. Optional add-ins: freshly grated ginger (a must, if you ask me), turmeric and/or apple, more spices (e.g. cardamom, nutmeg), cacao, mushroom powders (chaga, reishi etc.), dried fruit. Then add 1 cup liquids (I usually use 1/2 plant milk and 1/2 water, use coconut cream for an even richer porridge) and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 mins constantly stirring, then turn off the heat and leave to rest (lid on) for another 5 mins while preparing your toppings. For toppings I used banana slices, fresh figs, more plums, a good dollop of @indigo_herbs hemp butter [pr-sample], bee pollen, @original_beans cacao nibs, puffed quinoa, hemp hearts and dried cornflower blossoms. . . . . #porridgelover #veganporridge #oatmealporn #breakfastbowl #plantbasedbreakfast #eatseasonal #thisisautumn #seasonalproduce #autumncolours #goldenoctober #hempbutter #hempseeds #indigoherbs #beepollen #cacaonibs #originalbeans #chaga #adaptogens #freshfigs #kitchenbowl #onmytable #communitytable #lifeandthyme #foodwinewomen #thechalkboardeats #f52farmstand #organicmoments #eatmoreplants

Happy FriYay everyone! 🌞 The weekend is close, summer is back - so how about some delicious boozy popsicles? They're super easy to make! All you need is a nice dry gin, some tonic water and cucumber slices. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Werbung / Ad, unpaid] I used a fantastic gin called GINseng from @dr.jaglas - that's a small fine spirits start-up run by my dear friend Christina. She has an apothecary background and uses botanicals of the highest medicinal quality only. Hence the name & the gorgeous brown bottles. (I collect those as decoration, by the way.) The product design is so incredibly beautiful - it's easily one of the most special packagings I've ever come across. 😍 To me a bottle of GINseng is the perfect gift for friends who like things out of the ordinary. 🎁 In the post images you can see the miniature bottle but check @dr.jaglas Instagram for a full picture. . . . . #popsicles #friyay #indiansummer #altweibersommer #goldenoctober #boozypopsicles #popsicleweek #drjaglas #independentdrinks #drjaglasgin #drygin #GINseng #germangin #ginoclock #ginandtonic #lettheeveningbeGIN #gincreations #juniperberries #botanicals #afterworkcocktails #veganicecream #cucumberpopsicles #eisamstiel #eatmoreplants #greenliving #lifeandthyme #foodwinewomen #abmlifeisbeautiful #tcmlivingwell

Plums galore! I just finished another bowl of these beauties from our trees in the family garden. Love using them in my porridge together with cinnamon & walnuts (also from our garden). But they're also great for baking, making chutneys etc. Luckily my family has been keeping our tradition to make plum butter / jam ("Pflaumenmus") every year. We use large wood-fired cauldrons where the plums reduce down for hours and hours, no sugar or additives whatsoever! This year our trees were heavy with enormous amounts of fruit so we got new plum butter to last us forever - and enjoy all year around. I also froze a few bags of fresh plums to use in smoothies. What's your favorite plum recipe? . . . . #plumseason #pflaumenmus #zwetschgenernte #purplefoods #bluefoods #keepingtraditionsalive #traditionen #plumbutter #plumjam #nosugaradded #sugarfree #plantbasedliving #eatmoreplants #f52farmstand #organicmoments #lifeandthyme #uglyproduceisbeautiful #growwhatyoueat #growyourownfood #brandenburg #foragebyfolk #foraging #preserving #preservetheharvest

What are your favorite meals for busy weeks? Currently I'm obsessed with potato salad made from my very own harvest with @meineernte.de [Werbung / Ad]. Sometimes I just make it very simple using diced apples, onions & pickles with a creamy dressing (a family favourite). For this bowl here, I threw together a bunch of farmer's market goodies such as fresh corn, heirloom tomatoes, radishes, cucumber, random salad greens from my garden and onion rings. The dressing is made with vegan sour cream (I love the unpasteurised one from @soyana_lebensmittel*), dijon mustard, white balsamic vinegar, a little miso paste (@mimiferments*), loads of fresh dill, a little extra virgin olive oil, salt & pepper.
