Away from home..


This is an illustration of a perfect afternoon spent by myself in Göttingen! Hooray, I have managed to leave behind the borders of Berlin once (!) since I came to Germany a month ago...I went to visit good old friends a bit outside of Göttingen and made a cosy afternoon stop there. I remember having gone to this café also on my previous trip and why not again - it's a true kingdom of cakes, pastries and chocolate called Cron & Lanz on Weender strasse, just in the core of the old centre of Göttingen. 

This pièce de résistance was called Grillage, which consist of sour cherries and butter cream spiced up with Kirschwasser liquer and covered with roasted almond coating (Kirschwasserbutterkrem mit Sauerkirschen und Florentiner-Decke). I enjoyed it with a cup of cappucino and a chapter of a good novel. Perfect. I recommend this as a cure for everything, and as a prevention method for autumn gloomyness, too...
