On Wednesday, February 6, 2022, it was once again time for a long time, the FRUIT-LOGISTICA had opened its doors the day before and I had the time to drop by – even if only briefly. Noticeably more streamlined than in 2018, it was clearly to note that many exhibitors of recent years had not yet taken the courage to be on site.
The FRUIT LOGISTICA Innovation Award is an exciting event every year – companies are nominated here that offer innovative products in the international fruit and vegetable sector. Continue reading Innovation Award 2020
The Pili nut – what a nut & vegan at the same time. In addition to the absolutely great way of presentation and packaging in chic cotton bags – printed on a soy basis – the Cracking Monkey, originating in the Philippines, captivates especially with its haptic experience & ecological thought. Continue reading The Cracking Monkey – a MUST for nut lovers
The FRUIT LOGISTICA in Berlin becomes a fruitful affair every year.
FRUIT LOGISTICA is all about fruit, vegetables, transport logistics and innovation. There is an almost infinite variety of domestic & tropical fruits and the few days that this fair opens its doors are often hardly enough to have tasted all the delicacies. Continue reading FRUIT LOGISTICA Berlin
At some of the trade fairs I have already visited this year, there were topics that at first glance only slightly touch on the culinary aspect, but which are nevertheless important from my point of view.
At the International Green Week 2020, for example, I have already seen many producers of new types of packaging, compostable crockery and humidification systems for the retail trade, in addition to exhibitors for food and drink. Continue reading TOMRA – Easy Sorting
The restaurant Sale e Pane is not too big, but it has an outdoor area that is especially enjoyable in good weather and this Italian in the heart of Steglitz is always well visited. That’s why we advise you to make reservations in advance, preferably by phone. Continue reading Sale e Pane Berlin
At the invitation of the Aachen wine dealer Aix Vinum, we had the opportunity to take a closer look at the WINEfair berlin 2017. A fair completely to our liking – in contrast to many other fairs nowadays, we were offered all kinds of opportunities to gather our own culinary experience without having to order wise wines at once – which in our opinion should also be the appropriate credo of an end consumer fair. Continue reading WINEfair berlin 2017
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
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
The management of La Marianna has changed, and unfortunately our favourite waiter has gone. The tasty olives were no longer available on our last visit and somehow the atmosphere has changed as well as the cuisine. Continue reading La Marianna
The other day…
…we wanted to have breakfast spontaneously and ended up in the Marietta. Continue reading Marietta, chill in Prenzlauer Berg
The other day…
Hot dog ravenous appetite? Then “Der Hot Dog Laden” (near Winterfeldplatz) is the location – the place to be.
The Hot Dog Shop is a small fine snack place without an indoor area. The goods are passed through a counter to the outside, where a few stools & a table may be placed. Continue reading The Hot Dog Shop
Reservation
The Weißen Röss’l in Licherfelde has enough space, even for a spontaneous visit – but if you want to sit outside in the beer garden during rush hours, we recommend that groups of five or more people book in advance by telephone to be on the safe side. Continue reading Weißes Rössl in Lichterfelde
