nooka sighting: tina roth eisenberg

i am very late in posting this, but late is better than never! i hired tina as a graphic design intern fresh after her graduation from a german design school YEARS ago – and here she still is in NYC – a design STAR! i am so proud!


tina roth eisenberg, known for her design blog, swiss miss, was featured in the current food issue of print magazine for her father's fondue recipe and if i must say so myself, it is to die for [as long as i remember to take my lactaid tablet!]. pictured above, tina is wearing a nooka zenh gg. inlcuded below is tina's recipe!

Hans-Ruedi's (swiss miss's dad's) fondue recipe

* 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
* 2 shot glass of kirsch
* 4 tsp. cornstarch
* a few gratings of freshly ground pepper nutmeg
