| René Redzepi, Noma |  |
Oct 6th, 2010 |
The overall time we got to spend in the kitchens, try ingredients we haven’t heard of before, talk to the chefs and get insight into the operations was only topped by our talk with René. It provides a fair glimpse into René’s thoughts and take on the concept of eating local and sustainability and how the food industry latched onto it in its own way.

The veils can finally be lifted: Our short trip to Copenhagen recently was all in light of – no real surprise here though – NOMA. Following an assignment by NOWNESS to interview René Redzepi is something you simply can’t turn down – even when void of an actual dining experience. We connected very well and the overall [...]
| Popovers & Doris Day |  |
May 4th, 2010 |
Some recipes need a second chance. Sometimes, all it takes is a different list of ingredients or change of environment. Both can act as a breath of fresh air to a food experience you hastily labeled unspectacular – or simply dull. Popovers are my prime example here…
| Do you Californians know how good you have it? |  |
Apr 14th, 2010 |
It’s not like we had much of a choice – no blue or red pill- , but after our recent trip to sunny California, including some road-trip side-adventure, getting settled again in Munich turned out to be a real challenge.

How do you sum up thoughts and memories about countless wonderful food courses, unbelievable passionate cooks who created them in the first place and the amazing hospitality of the Iacarrino family?
| Headed South - Naples |  |
Nov 4th, 2009 |
We had never been to this region of Italy before, so we quickly decided to throw in an extra day in Naples as a short stop-over. Just enough time to get a glimpse of the city, take a deep breath of the historic district, enjoy some typical Neapolitan food and …

Because – truth be told – our latest trip to Singapore was everything we hoped it would be. And then some.
| The French Laundry & Some Soap |  |
Oct 7th, 2007 |
Even though our trip has undergone many, many revisions and the timing of when to be where had military grade accuracy, one date was rock solid. The French Laundry. As soon as we had decided to do it…
| Two cars, five states and countless meals |  |
Sep 30th, 2007 |
The last load of our washing machine hasn’t dried yet, empty bags still linger in our hallway and far too many emails are crowding my to-do list, gathering more e-dust by the hour. We’re home again. The welcoming sunshine at the airport was an insidious trickery …
| Escaping the rain |  |
Sep 7th, 2007 |
Enough is enough! After a week of constant rain we decided to leave and go west. Like… in a few thousand miles west. I’d love to claim to have this level of spunk, but the trip was planed well ahead…

…eating out was a completely different story, oftentimes our eyes were bigger than our stomach. No, all the times. Skordalia, tzatziki, saganaki, fried calamari and sardines, fried eggplant, different kinds of souvlaki, pastitsio, moussaka, dolmades, pantzaria, taramosalata and what not were regulars on our dinner table…

Apr 30th, 2007 |
The first morning in Nice greeted us with airy blue skies and flip-flop weather and we couldn’t wait to get down to the beach front, not shy asking the hotel’s receptionist for a small city map and a few recommendations. The air and its scent, the sea and its unbelievable intense blue, the short stroll into the city center along the coast side…
