About Me

I run a bakery in beautiful Auckland, New Zealand, but by training I am a microbiologist and science journalist. My love for food and my desperation at the state of bread in New Zealand have led me to bake bread and cakes and worry about how food is grown, processed, distributed and consumed.

Trigger Warning

I am German and I am a woman. In this blog I am offering views and ideas that may differ from your own opinions. You might find these interesting and entertaining, but at times they might challenge or even offend you. It is not my intention to harm people’s feelings, but feeling uncomfortable is not the same to being in mortal danger.

In order to discuss complicated matters open and honestly it is necessary to speak about uncomfortable truths at times. It is a vital step of moving on and making things better. Germans have had to learn this lesson the hard way and it was deeply instilled in my generation. Being German also means being more direct – to the English-speaking world, this can seem at times rude or uncouth. For the most part it is not intended to be offensive and I believe that I have lived in the English- speaking world for long enough to have learned to modify and mellow my directness. But at times, when matters are very important, my true nature may get the better of me. That applies to both – the Germanity and the Femininity.
