I’m starting a new series of mini interviews and practiced with myself :-)

Hi, my name is Nadja Girod. I’m an accessory designer from Berlin (www.smil.biz) When I was a kid I secretly practiced walking in midair. Today I’m still afraid of the dark. When I’m stuck in a project, I visit flickr, read my favourite blogs, clean the kitchen or play guitar. I want to learn how to cook. Surprising myself with new ideas makes me happy.

RECIPE

This is my mother in law’s recipe for “Herring salad with sour cream souce”

It’s really simple and tastes delicious!!! My all time favourite.

you need:

1 cup of capers,

1 cup sour cream,

1 big onion,

2 apples,

pack of herring fillets, marinated,

1 cup of pickled cucumbers,

10 walnuts

Cut everything into bit-sized pieces and put into salad bowl.

Pour the sour cream over it and mix well. Put 2 hours in the fridge.

Gives one big serving. Serve with boiled potatoes.
