Green Eggs and Ham
We have all had those moments when hunger pangs hit you suddenly and you find yourself pacing around the kitchen looking for anything even remotely edible to fill the sudden hole in your stomach. Luckily, today on L&A, we’d like to share with you a current favourite recipe that can be prepped, cooked and eaten within 5 minutes. That’s right, a delicious hot meal in about the same time it takes to make a bowl of cereal (at least how long it takes me to make cereal when I’m stumbling around the house blurry eyed at 6am). Introducing the wonder that is… Pesto Pancakes! They may not be the most…

Fantastic Mr Fox in Berlin
You’re my Number One… So, it’s going to be short and sweet today as we have crazy English friends visiting and we are in recovery from wild Karaoke/ Jäger Shots/ Burgers at 3am… and we started a new job as hotel-airport guides for Japanese people which was SUPER FUN! But, I don’t want to leave you all to wonder what we are up to, so here is a photo of what we spotted yesterday! Yup – this is literally outside our front door. He/ She didn’t even blink at us, just watched us wander by as if we were far too unimportant to even look at. It’s weird, because we…

Vanille & Marille Ice Cream Shop
Too much traffic in my head… It’s getting really hot in Berlin. We had our first BBQ this week and got nice face tans but bit crispy arm burns… but the good news is that ICE CREAM solves everything and I have tried yet another delicious place I want to tell you all about.

The place is bright pink, the staff serve with a smile and there are tons of flavours to choose from. They try and source their…

Potsdam – a wonderful day trip from Berlin
We’re all going on a summer holiday… We tell all our guests to go to Potsdam – it’s a beautiful town with an amazing summer palace surrounded by enormous parks just one hour from the centre of Berlin. We often pop down there for a walk on a sunny day and can only recommend it to you all. Last time we started our wanderings from Potsdam Park Sanssouci station, which starts you off bang in the middle of the park. You go via the forests and fields up towards the Sanssouci Palace. On your way you will see a windmill, ice cream shop for those necessary snacks and plenty of…
