La Famiglia in Hamburg’s St. Georg district is a constant address for authentic Italian food in the Hanseatic city. As soon as you enter the small restaurant you have arrived in Italy. The charm of the premises corresponds to that of Italian pizzerias as we know them from the seventies. Especially the walls are plastered in a very memorable way and the decoration is based on pictures of the family or long-gone times. Continue reading La Famiglia
The meat of the German marketing company BIOPark Markt GmbH from Malchin in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which was founded in 1994, has no equal. The meat offered for tasting at BIOFACH 2020 was of the finest quality. The first impression alone when looking into the – let’s call them “showcases” – was promising. The “gems” were already visually appealing and for anyone who has dealt with meat to a limited extent, the BIOPark Markt GmbH booth exerted a special attraction. Continue reading BIOPark Markt
Somehow it was time again, for another bread variation – a kilo of the good organic spelt flour was still quite innocent in the pantry and the Mortadella cried out for a good fresh white bread. Continue reading Organic spelt tin loaf
The Lee Hu Doichang Café is one of the best places in Chiang Rai to sit back and relax with a tepid priest and enjoy something culinary. The café is located away from the bustling centre of the city – about fifteen minutes by car from the Central Festival. Continue reading Lee Hu Doichang Café
In this article I will tell you about some of the exhibitors whose products and ideas surprised or even fascinated me – however, I did not have time to inform myself in detail about them during BIOFACH. Continue reading On the road at the BIOFACH 2020
I’ve loved ribs since my earliest childhood – although it was mostly pork ribs – especially when they came from the grill. Differently than with the ribs of the cattle, there were then rather times braised by my granny… Continue reading Short Rib Session
Arctic Sparkle is a non-alcoholic sparkling wine product of the family business Saimaan Marjamarkkinointi (Saimaan Marjamarkkinointi Oy) based on Finnish cloudberries. The small but fine company was founded in 2004 and since then has been producing a variety of products. What all products have in common is that the raw materials used in their production come from Finnish nature. Continue reading Arctic Sparkle
As I had just returned from BIOFACH in Nuremberg for the weekend, I unfortunately did not manage to visit the WEINmesse berlin 2020 on the first day of the event. On Saturday, however, the time had come and I made my way to the Messe Berlin – the entrance to the WEINmesse berlin this time was at Hall 21 in the Masurenallee. Continue reading WINEfair berlin 2020
This year at the International Green Week 2020 I spent a lot of time in HALL 8.2 – especially at the Finnish stand. Reasons for this – besides the wish to learn more about the northernmost country of the EU and to write a new article on “Meet the Chef” (Teemu Kaijanen) – were mainly the relaxed atmosphere and the many natural products there. Continue reading Finland
Since Wednesday 5 February 2020, FRUIT-LOGISTICA has opened its doors again and, as every year, there is plenty of delicious fruit and innovations from all over the world to be admired. Continue reading FRUIT LOGISTICA 2020
After the big opening event I didn’t feel like rushing to the Croatia Hall with several thousand other guests. I wanted to get some fresh air first, so I decided on the traditional flower hall reception in Hall 9 – a constant highlight of the International Green Week, always organised by the Zentralverband Gartenbau e.V. Continue reading Flower Hall Reception
The City Cube – Hall B is an ideal venue for the number of participants expected at the opening event of the International Green Week 2020.
A really very attractive, modern and, above all, huge event location in which, in addition to the large main stage, three screens were “stretched out” that were unparalleled. This ensured for all parts of the event that everyone could see what was happening on stage, even in the back row. Continue reading Opening Event
The BIO Reception of the BÖLW – Bund Ökologischer Lebensmittelwirtschaft (Association of Organic Food Industry) – based in Berlin was a special highlight of the International Green Week 2020 Berlin, not only from a culinary point of view. I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank the BÖLW press officer, Ms Joyce Moewius, for allowing me to take part in this great event. Continue reading BIO Reception of the BÖLW
As every year, the International Green Week invites to come back to Berlin in 2020. This year Croatia is partnering this event in the heart of the capital, which has been known worldwide and were established 1926. This event is now taking place for the 85th time and this year it will feature around 1800 exhibitors from 72 countries. Continue reading International Green Week 2020
The La Buca in Berlin Steglitz is a real intuition – already in my youth I was there before and after the visit of the Pop Inn – at that time the only disco in Steglitz – to get hold of one of the cheap and at the same time delicious mini pizzas. Continue reading La Buca
The anticipation for FRUIT LOGISTICA 2018 was great and, as last year, the exhibition was convincing across the board. Especially with the winter temperatures in Germany, the variety of exotic & sun-ripened fruits lifted the spirits of all visitors and the fair quickly made them forget the winter temperatures. The number of exhibitors is breathtaking every time, you hardly manage to see everything – even if you are there every day of the fair. Despite everything you can always find fruits & vegetables that you didn’t know or that were already forgotten. Continue reading FRUIT LOGISTICA 2018
The FRUIT LOGISTICA 2018 Innovation Award – Nominations
The candidates nominated for this year’s FRUIT LOGISTICA Innovation Award came up with smart solutions. The range of products included biological pest control for domestic use, packaging with a remarkable eco-balance and culinary delights from faraway Asia. Continue reading Innovation Award 2018
It is the 20th of September 2017 and once again a gourmet evening at Struve. Another year has passed and the anticipation was already great – what shall I say the patience was rewarded as always. Continue reading Gourmet Evening the Third
At the friendly invitation of Messe Berlin, this year I had for the first time the opportunity to dedicate myself to FRUIT LOGISTICA. A fair to my taste – in contrast to many other food fairs not to overcrowd and also all sorts of optical and culinary highlights. Continue reading FRUIT LOGISTICA 2017
If you love pears, you are sure to become a fan of Snow White Pear from Chinese producer Qingdao O’natur.
Due to its size (200 – 500g/each) this wonderful fruit offers the necessary “more” pleasure. It is well suited as a vitamin supplier at events, because this pear does not turn brown as quickly when peeled as its European relatives. Continue reading Snow White Pear – a “pear“ that offers more
When left the restaurant, the waiter advised us to reserve next time if we are more than one person – however, this didn’t seem to be absolutely necessary in view of the two other guests – maybe it depended to the time (21:30). Continue reading Taverna Ellada
Le Su at Hamburg’s Lange Reihe is felt to be a little too expensive for the food they offer, which is certainly due to the exposed location. Le Su sees itself as a mediterranean restaurant – this may be partly true, but I felt it more like an authentic pure Lebanese restaurant from the point of view of the furnishings and the food. Continue reading Le Su
On September 26th, EDEKA Struve once again invited us to its Bramfeld branch for another gourmet evening. This time the own share frauded fifteen Euro, whereby five Euro could be used as a voucher for the next purchase. For ten euros so “all you can try”, aka “what your heart desires”. This time the Struve team has again surpassed itself to create a culinary playground… Continue reading Gourmet Evening the Second
