The opposite of Instagram wellness.
Some lottery bonus of fate is that I’ve never been a fan of either sweetened carbonated drinks or those awful sweet Mars bars, Twixes, Pigs, or whatever those brown things with corn syrup and additives are called.Similarly, fast food. All those pizzas, hot dogs, burgers. Not even pizza. And I never really understood those fans, … Read more
Wild garlic, which is the best thing about living in Lower Saxony (besides being close to Hamburg). Here, it’s a local seasonal delicacy. Not as ubiquitous as asparagus, but available in every grocery store. INGREDIENTS:1 onion (about 100 g net)3 tablespoons of oil (30 ml)2 bell peppers (about 250 g net)150 g peanuts (see notes)150 … Read more
I try to manage the products during events in a way that produces as little waste as possible. Reducing food waste was one of my goals last year and still remains high on the priority list. Of course, there’s always something left, and for a few days after the event, I build my menu largely … Read more
For four and a half years, I have been living in Germany. In the forest. A kilometer and a half to the village. 300 meters to the forest reserve, with a drying lake. I have a few dozen kilometers to Hamburg. And for the past two years, I’ve been seeing more and more homeless people … Read more
It seems like this passed in Poland without much notice, and I didn’t write about it in August, somehow it escaped my attention, even though it’s a matter that personally concerns me greatly. In early August, Björn Höcke, the leader of the parliamentary group of the AfD in Thuringia in Eastern Germany, an important figure … Read more
The Deutschland-Ticket is a sufficient reason to stay permanently in Germany.As long as the Deutschland-Ticket remains permanent, which is by no means certain. Introducing the ticket was more of a Polish-style move than a German order. And still, it doesn’t work as it theoretically should.Theoretically, for example, the D-t. renews itself automatically. In practice, it … Read more
Today, lunch for three people, largely from the leftover ingredients of a 10-day event for 22 people. So there’s always something left, and minimizing food waste is one of my two most important professional challenges for this year. Cooking like this has the advantage that I have more time to experiment with new things, not … Read more
The first shake, or rather milkshake, was prepared in 1885 and was an alcoholic cocktail made from whisky and milk, somewhat similar to eggnog (someone in Germany, I can’t remember who right now, produces vegan eggnog, quite good! more artisanal than industrial). However, around 1900, the shake became a “healthy” milk drink with the addition … Read more
In the plant-based kitchen, we often try to “imitate” meat dishes. Sometimes, it’s because we miss those flavors, and sometimes, it’s for the professional satisfaction of achieving a good culinary illusion. I especially like it when such a dish passes the “carnivore test.” Someone claims that there must be meat in there. But it doesn’t … Read more
The guests have left, and I am completely alone in the whole house. Several single and double rooms and a dormitory in the attic. I slept for a day and a half, and now I am slowly cleaning the kitchen. I can feel this month and those 250 hours on my feet. Tomorrow, my vacation … Read more
