alle kochen mit wasser …

und wir kochen immer schon mit feuer und eis …

und das war immer schon chemie …

doch natürlich vermögen E 401 und E 509 zum beispiel wassermelonensaft in kaviarförmige kügelchen umzuwandeln … oder E 461 (methylcellulose) olivenöl zur suppennudelform zu transformieren … warum nicht?
und mit flüssigstickstoff kann man, wenn man beim ersten biss durch die nase ausatmet, aussehen wie ein wilder stier (dampfwolken kommen aus den nasenlöchern).
nicht schwierig (rezepte zum ausprobieren auf anfrage) und lustig bestimmt, aber warum unbedingt … zumindest warum dieses nachexerzieren?

natürlich begeistern mit adrià ferran und seine studien.
doch stumpfes nachverfolgen der techniken ist nicht mein weg.
ich bin für vorwärtsgehen, offenbleiben und veränderung … schön langsam ist die überbewertung dieser hype methoden einfach langweilig geworden.

when i was a child, chocolate would be something oh so precious and rarely available, almost such as mayan gold. that was, because my parents, who are dentists, would carefully avoid to expose us children to its dark pleasures.
later in life i used to love chocolate just as much, even though it’s become widely available and daily work matter in patisserie.
and during pregnancy my preference for dark dark chocolate shifted toward craves for milkier types and even white …

there is one store in salzburg which bears lots of treasures for les amateurs du chocolat. in very confined space you will find an eleborate selection of manufactured chocolates.

my current favourites among them are dolfin’s dark with pink pepper, galler framboise and zotter’s walnut marzipan …

good food is one essential factor to health and wellbeing. in a holistic sense not only high quality ingredients are substantial, but also a meal, which has been prepared with love.

we’ve all been educated to reward ourselves with food, therefore it has to be a tasty pleasure to make us feel content. apart from taste, texture and the appeal to the eye are just as important, and just as much the whole atmosphere surrounding when having a meal …

unfortunately in our fast moving environment, oases to savour our meals within, are very rare. under the pressure of profitability most give in to the diktat of lowest resistance … and much falls by the wayside, which we are subsequently missing – consciously or not.
experience … with all senses …

my „health with food“ philosophy
quoting paracelsus i believe that all things are poisonous and nothing is without poison - only the dosage decides the outcome. nothing is taboo, even chocolate or pork can be a contribution to health. important are seasonal, to a large extent regional comestibles. the right choice comprehends personal, physical factors, as well as climatic, seasonal and psychic ones … sometimes a „consolation meal“ is good for you … and sometimes an opulent feast, the golden mean, the balance is most important, that is said by our tradition as well as by tcm.
in order to eat healthy no strict diet is needed –it is all about pleasure, positive potentials, adapting habits and developing a feeling for one’s body.
