I can hardly remember my days in Sydney, morning walks on a beach with beautifully smelling coffee in my hand. I did it each day for a month and each morning was better than a previous one. I loved small coffee shop on a way to Bondi, great barista who always knew how to make a perfect cup for me. And then a crowded beach at 6:30 am. Sydney was exercising, running, swimming or joining me for a coffee. I am back in Berlin but some things stayed unchanged. I still get up early, enjoy my coffee and a walk. Do you like to observe life of your city? Berlin is amazing in the morning. People going to work or preparing for an important meeting at a coffee shop, others coming back from a party or mothers with newborns. It’s all here. I usually go to Goodies, as it’s the only place with a good coffee open at 7 am in my neighbourhood. I’d like to experiment some more so if you happen to know cafe in Friedrichshain that’s open this early please let me know.

As I wrote before I am still having a small strawberry obsession. This beautiful, sweet and juicy little treasures don’t want to leave my mind. This time I cooked them with quinoa and an orange juice. The colour looks great, the taste is even better. I love quinoa for it’s specific flavour, but it was nice to have a sweet and juicy version of it.
