Francesco Sasso, Sales Manager at Dutch Passion – Francesco’s passion for cannabis took root in the European Alps, where he began as a guerrilla grower, driven by curiosity and admiration for the plant.

That early dedication soon evolved into a professional career in legal cultivation. Since joining Dutch Passion in 2014, he has spent nearly two decades traveling across continents, sharing expertise, learning from growers worldwide, and nurturing a lifelong commitment to the advancement of cannabis cultivation and culture.

FRUIT LOGISTICA 2026

Our visit to FRUIT LOGISTICA 2026 felt noticeably more relaxed than the previous year. This year featured a remarkable variety of mushrooms – presented in many different formats – some primarily from a culinary perspective, others with a focus on health benefits.

Lieblingsplatz

The restaurant Lieblingsplatz could – if it was around the corner – also become my favourite place. We visited this restaurant after I noticed it on television a few years ago. The supposed boss (you never know with TV) made such a patent, open and honest impression on me that this, together with the culinary promises, was reason enough to stop by there the next time I was in the area. At the end of February, we made the way of approx. 30 minutes from Hamburg to the south. Continue reading Lieblingsplatz →

Curry shashlik

Hello dear readers, today I would like to introduce you to one of my latest shashlik (kind of shish kebab) variations – basically a domestic remake of the beloved “snack stand shashlik”. It all started for me in autumn 2020 – somehow it felt like a hundred years had passed since I last enjoyed a good shashlik at one of my favourite stands. Continue reading Curry shashlik →

New sensory territory

A New Trade Fair – A New World of Flavours© 2025 Erik Seidel, foodadvisorblog

The 2025 trade fair season at Messe Berlin initially began for me with familiar formats. Events such as FRUIT LOGISTICA, the International Green Week, and the WEINmesse Berlin have long become fixed constants within my culinary trade-fair calendar. Continue reading New sensory territory →

Pot Luck Club Capetown

We discovered the Pot Luck Club in Cape Town when we were looking for the restaurant “The Test Kitchen” – one of the best 50 restaurants worldwide. At the time of our visit both restaurants were run by the same owner. Unfortunately, The Test Kitchen was still closed – in retrospect a lucky coincidence, because the food and especially the bright atmosphere of the Pot Luck Club fascinated us deeply. Continue reading Pot Luck Club Capetown →

Yam Moo Yang from Duroc

As promised, you can read here how I proceeded with the grilled piece of pork loin from the Duroc. I took the chance to prepare one of my favourite Thai dishes – a salad with grilled pork. As a gimmick I use black instead of fresh garlic. Continue reading Yam Moo Yang from Duroc →

Central Market

Adelaide is a beautiful and tranquil place – there are an incredible number of green spaces, parks and of course the great Botanical Garden. Another highlight, and one that takes place indoors, is the Adelaide Central Market. This is definitely a MUST SEE when you are in the city. The atmosphere reflects the attitude, lifestyle and zest for life of the inhabitants of this rather small Australian city. Continue reading Central Market →

FRUIT LOGISTICA 2025

Anticipation for this year’s FRUIT LOGISTICA was high – perhaps a little too high, because expectations need to be met, and this time Friday was certainly not our best choice of day to attend. But more on that later.
