Memories of pre-corona dinners at @noblesavage_restaurant. This was the time @iggycooks cooked with @dkrivoshap - what a stunning Japanese inspired menu they made! ❤️ Now they're back in business, with all the post-lockdown measures in place and a great menu lined up too. Book your table at noblesavage.at! 53 1
One of my favourite things since lockdown ended in Vienna? Ice cream from @eisgreissler, accompanied by long walks, of course! 🍦 58 2
You know those weeks when every day is just perfect and getting so much done gives you an incredible burst of energy and makes you feel not only proud of yourself, but also incredibly ecstatic, smiling from ear to ear and wanting to literally jump with joy? Those weeks when every single day, everything falls into place, as if the universe focuses solely on making you happy! That was last week for me. And it deserved to be celebrated accordingly, with a stunning brut nature from @fritz_salomon_go that I captured at @vinifero_naturweine on my Saturday stroll through post-quarantine buzzing Vienna. I also realised that this is my 1000th post, and thought that sharing this beautiful bottle would celebrate that too. Thanks for sticking with me through a thousand posts, thousands of words, ups and downs, gourmet stories, restaurant visits and culinary adventures of all kinds. ❤️ Your Ioana 36 0
Fine dining at home really doesn't have to be that complicated! 👉 Sourdough brioche doughnut balls, served with a sweet leek custard, borage, carnation and thyme flowers - all from my rooftop terrace. Thank you @mihai.iosif.toader for the inspiration - if you're not following him and his amazing project @fragmente1 you should straight away - and thank you @chef_dragos_radu for the brioche tips! ❤️ #finediningathome #finefood #platingideas #platinginspiration #spurdough #brioche #perfectcircles #springflowers #edibleflowers #leek #grateplates #chefsroll #chefstable #chefsplateform 97 6
Today I visited Enrico at @vinifero_naturweine to stock up on natural wine. I realised that one of the thing that makes me sad these days, despite being able to go out and meet with friends is the fact that I cannot see the smiles of the amazing people working hard to provide us with amazing wines, delicious food, coffee, cocktails and the like, because of the masks that we all need to wear these days. Therefore, I wanted to say an enormous thank you to all those of you working in the service industry. And to Enrico for his fabulous wines! ❤️ You are constantly bringing smiles to our faces! 47 0
Wild boar stew with a delicious sauce flavoured with black cardamom, dried strawberries and red wine. Served atop a buckwheat risotto. Throwback to my culinary adventures back when quarantine started and it was still chilly enough to enjoy a heartwarming stew. ❤️ #finediningathome #gulasch #wildboar #wildgame #stew #homemadefood #mealoftheday #deliciousfood #BerriesandSpice #foodphotography #foodinthetimesofcorona #foodblogger 35 0

Berries and Spice Recipes

131 posts

Berries and Spice started off as a space for recipes. Mostly comfort food, recently turned into fine dining at home. This is a space where you can access some of the old recipes published at the beginning of this blog. You’ll find them sorted by category. Some easier, some more technique driven, these recipes aim to bring a gourmet element into your home.

Now, more recently, since the focus of this blog has turned towards the restaurant industry rather than home cooks, you will start finding more conceptual recipes. Not so much for chefs to follow step by step, they should help chefs get some inspiration when they need to. And, it is my own space to feature what I cook in my test kitchen. The recent recipes revolve around unique pairings, advanced techniques and the use of kitchen gadgets often present in professional kitchens.
