I think I understand most food behaviors that I have been exposed to. But there is one I just don’t seem to get. When people do not eat breakfast. I wake up starving and have to hold myself not to eat 2 portions of my scrambled eggs or birchermüsli (I have even googled what a normal breakfast size is, since … Read More

Istanbuls heart pounds so hard that you can feel it. The city is developing fast and everyone seem eager to show that, and where, they are moving. It is beautiful. I should probably be running the streets to achieve all the treasures there are to experience. But I went to Istanbul to relax. In a quiet side street I found … Read More

The night was a minor food parade and we travelled from chef to chef to try something new. I ended up favoring Champagne and Fishes at the north German kitchen area.
