The September/October 2010 Issue is just out now and what a great story about dining with Blushwhispers, my dinner group in Germany….. Story written by food writer, Peter Lau: How Do We Want to eat:, There is a change in the food scene due to dinner clubs and other eating possiblities outside our home. Why [...]
The arrival to Tuscany was quite adventurous from the beginning, due to the heavy rain storms that diverted my flight from Florence to Bologna and a wait of 3 hours…. Once I made it to Amedei, I was greeted with much enthusiasm and warmth. I was placed in the meeting room to await the arrival [...]
With summer upon us, It is time to indulge in tomatoes, peas and other great fruits and vegetables only available for a few months. Being in Berlin, I am stuck with the task of being creative with little or no modern equipment. I recently read a quote from a book called “The Sense Of Order; [...]
Of all things, I was attending a Medieval Festival in Germany (haha, sounds hilarious). Anyway, amongst the steel forgers, home brewed ales, and fire cooked meat on a stick, there was a woman selling herbs of all sorts. I was curious, and taken quite by surprise. I combed through the Russian Basil, different mints, thyme, [...]

I guess I have been quite lucky these days, or at least in the right place at the right time. I was in Frankfurt a couple of months back as I was a part of the Ambiente Table Fair with Katja Bremkamp. I got introduced to Stefanie Hering and Wiebke Lehmann of Hering Porcelan Company. [...]
With great enthusiam, do I announce a collaboration dinner event in Montecito, California. The focus is on educating food and wine lovers about pairing food and wine but with a slightly unorthodox approach. The evening starts with special hors d’oeuvres and champagne whilst learning about new and old wines. After ,It is a 5 course [...]
