Why men should do Pilates…

 

Slowly but surely the times are changing and I can happily acknowledge that more and more men are finding their way into the Pilates studio. This are great news, but it would be even better, if more men would give it a go. All too often I get a skeptical look from them when talking about Pilates. The perception is it’s not ‚manly’ enough…

 

„Isn’t Pilates only for women?“

I hear this often and the answer is a resounding NO! Pilates is just as good for men as it is for women. Try it out before passing judgement. With some luck, this blog might convince you to give it a go.

Here we go again...

... this time to St. Gilgen.

 

Sometimes in life one door is closing and another one is opening again. That is life.

 

I am very happy to announce that there is another Retreat coming your way. Pencil in the date in your calendar right now.

From the 12th to the 13th November 2022!

 

It is shorter !

It is closer ! (to Salzburg, where most of my clients are located)

And it is more flexible !

This recipe is so quick and easy and on top of it delicious and full of goodness. It can be served as a starter or, if you make the portion slightly bigger, as a maincourse as well. It is refreshing, so it works perfect for a light meal in spring and summer. If you don´t have asparagus – no worries. In this picture I have used some finely chopped raw zucchini instead. Even some cooked broccoli would work fine. Try it out.

Serves 2 pax

I was so excited when I found another glutenfree Stollen recipe online that sounded delicious. It was also refined sugar free and vegan. Unfortunately, it didn´t quite work out the way I planned it. The yeast was not cooperating and I ended up with a dough that looked and felt like a cookie dough. So instead of chucking it all in the bin, I decided to make cookies. They are so yummy – having the taste of Stollen bread, but the texture of a cookie. I tweaked the recipe a bit, so it should be cookie-proof now. Enjoy baking.

It is only a few more weeks till Christmas and I am in super Christmas mood this year. It must be Germany and the mountains outside. Off course I was baking and decorating in Kenya as well, but when you have between 25 and 30°C outside you do not really get in the same mood as here.

This glutenfree Stollen I made last year and it worked really well and was yummy. I am currently trying out another recipe as well…. If it works out, I´ll let you know.

It takes a bit of time to make a Stollen. Eiter do a big one or several small ones. Keep in mind though, that you will have to reduce the baking time when they are smaller.

After they have cooled down I usually just keep them wrapped in baking paper and they last for about 2-3 weeks. You could also store them in the fridge and heat the pieces up before serving.
