South Tyrol has been a reliable source of excellent bacon and sausage products for centuries, which is why many professionals in the field of bacon and ham production come from this part of Italy. Especially the ideal air conditions there have always been a guarantee for the optimal maturing of air-dried meat & sausage products. Continue reading MERANO bacon (Speck)
This year, the Innovation Award at FRUIT LOGISTICA was once again a real magnet for visitors. However, the setup for the presentation of the Innovation Award participants was different this time from that of previous years.
Messe Berlin had decided to set up the associated stands in Hall 20. This was a wise decision, especially due to the always poor acoustics and proximity to the trade fair catering at the previous location in front of Hall 21, because now visitors could devote themselves to the innovators’ presentations in a much more relaxed manner.
We begin our brief overview of this year’s participants, including a profile, with the winner of the FRUIT LOGISTICA 2022 Innovation Award.
It wasn’t long ago that I had the SCOTLAND HILLS Cowboy Steak on the grill – today I wanted to know how delicious the entrecôte of this brand is. With foresight I had ordered a piece of entrecôte of almost 1.5 kg together with the rack of lamb, so it was just right. As always, I took the meat out of the cooler a good hour before use, removed the foil and patted it dry. Continue reading SCOTCH Entrecôte
Until the year 2005 I had basically only very few points of contact with wine and then almost exclusively – as described at the beginning of In Vino Veritas – with the “reds”. The first bottles – the ones that were my taste buds for Australian wine, were two bottles of Pertaringa (Shiraz) from the year 2000. Continue reading Mollydooker – the Beginning

During my short visit to the Richmond Hotel Bangkok I had the great luck to meet Chef Maew Pratumthip Trakoonsri. She is in charge at the Richmond Hotel when it comes to fine pastries, cakes, pies or any kind of dessert.

After the second attempt to bake a proper, 100% rye sourdough bread, we unfortunately again did not succeed as desired. There was still no optimal result, so it was time to distract ourselves with a success story. Continue reading Country bread Italian style
The young bull meat of the brand Maxi France comes exclusively from France and impresses with its special tenderness. The beef breeds from which the young bull meat comes are the meat and dual-purpose beef breeds Charolais, Blonde d’Aquitaine, Normande, Limousin, Salers, Montbéliarde and their crossbreeds. The suppliers are handpicked on site and employees are often on the road in France to visit the farms and to check that everything is in order. Continue reading Maxi France
VIKINGYR lamb from Iceland is a very speciality. Lamb in itself is tender, but the lambs of this brand, which have all grown up on Iceland without exception, are not only literally “buttery tender”. Their meat also has a high proportion of fatty acids (omega-3), so it doesn’t necessarily have to be fish if you want to eat a healthy diet in terms of fat.
Continue reading VIKINGYR
What else is there to do but to become creative in the kitchen during these times? I spontaneously set about finding a pizza dough that would allow me to make a great pizza even at the low temperatures of our home ovens. Continue reading Pizza @home
As I already mentioned in the article about SCOTLAND HILLS, this brand does not only offer great heifer meat but also excellent lamb. As the barbecue season has long since begun, it was time to prepare a classic – grilled lamb chops Greek style. Continue reading SCOTCH Rack of Lamb
Chef Supat Chinsangtip has worked at the VIE Hotel Bangkok for a decade – he is the guarantor of high and consistent quality and has international experience. Continue reading Supat Chinsangtip – former Executive Sous Chef & Chefkoch des VIE Hotel Bangkok
Chef Roberto Rota – in short Chef Roberto was the innovative driving force and the good soul of the VERO kitchen, the Trattoria & Wine Bar at the Pullman Arcadia Phuket. Here you can not only enjoy excellent food – from time to time very special events take place here. The portfolio of VERO’s cuisine ranges from down-to-earth mamma cuisine to Italian haute cuisine and the most delicious representatives of Mediterranean flavours in general.
Continue reading Roberto Rota – former Head Chef of the VERO trattoria & wine bar Phuket
In Germany and Austria, the piece of beef that is supposed to be the subject of today has a long tradition – the Tafelspitz. This is the tendon-free, tapering tip of the tail – basically the hip cap of a cow. Continue reading Picanha
Cheesecake enjoys great popularity worldwide. The most famous varieties are certainly the American New York Cheesecake – which can be found on the menus of many hotels, restaurants and cafés – and of course the classic German cheesecake made from Grandma’s recipe. With this recipe I present you the version that my grandmother gave me. Continue reading Granny`s Cheesecake

The young company Poikain Parhaat Oy Ltd, Poikain Parhaat for short, is managed by Nikolas Jokisalo & Pertti Hakala from Tampere – they both pursue the idea of bringing Finnish quality & flavours to the world. Continue reading Poikain Parhaat – Pure Finnish Flavours
In the end I got my hands on a couple of Cowboy Steaks of the brand SCOTLAND HILLS by chance at EDEKA and was really surprised for a long time again. It had been a while since I was allowed to cook in a home environment with beef of such excellent quality. Continue reading SCOTLAND HILLS Cowboy Steak
In the following we will talk about the black garlic. I hope that for all those who suffer from Alliumphobie (fear of garlic & onions) we at least be able to take the fear of garlic, because the black garlic is the clearly more compatible one! Continue reading Black Garlic
There are now all kinds of delicious pork – pork has been experiencing something of a renaissance in recent years. Since the Ibérico, the wool pig and other old breeds of pigs have been able to show how pork can actually taste, pork has been on the plates more and more often, especially during the barbecue season. Continue reading Duroc – Pork loin
Even when it comes to the traditional steak, the eye & palate need a change now and then. In the last few years, new trends for more or less unusual cuts have been popping up on the horizon. This is also the case with the Flank Steak, which has been “on everyone’s lips” for a while now. Today I had the first Flank Steak of the brand Château Boeuf – a “Bavette aloyaux “– a really huge piece of meat. Continue reading Bavette (Flank Steak)
Tommaso Pavani, is co-founder and commercial director of NERO Fermento – a company that produces and distributes black garlic. He was so kind to give me permission to use images from the NERO Fermento website as part of this contribution – and that’s why the wonderful main contribution image, which illustrates the way from the fresh clove of garlic to the end product, is so wonderful.
