Eggplant-Tomato Salad w/vegan dressing
For me eggplants and herbs are the epitome of summer. I know we can actually get everything during winter time. But the taste of a sun ripped tomato does make the difference. As well as that most of the vegetables are Swiss ones now. I like. Combining different flavours makes it even better. Be brave, try various combinations. Since I like a lot of herbs, I mostly use more than one. Adding fruit and nuts to your salad does top it off. Instead of Mayo I used...

Welcome to the hood Oskar. Finally a place where I can grab lunch and coffee when I'm done at the yoga studio next door! Chez Oskar is a brilliant new addition to Altstetten.

Gluten free summer noodle salad
I'm so much into salads, especially during the hot summer months. And the best thing about it: you can make salads out of pretty much everything ;) Lately I made a "fridge clean out" variation with my favorite gluten free bean noodles (made out of edamame, the noodles are very low in fat and rich in proteins). I combined the noodles with farm fresh champignons (from my auntie), fresh spring potatoes (finally there are Swiss ones) and a not so...

Dear Baroness, Can women and men be friends?
Dear Baroness, Do you think men and women can be friends? Do you think that if a woman is out for an evening, having a good time and gets talking to a group of men, that she should assume they want only one thing from her? Do you think she is leading them on if she accepts their invitation to join their party? I know how I feel about the subject, but others disagree with me and I want to hear what you have to say about the matter. ...
