Do you miss Canada? Here’s your plan for July 1. It’s July 1. In Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, the streets are aglow with red and white. Somewhere, someone is grilling; somewhere, fireworks are going off; somewhere, someone is sipping a cold beer on a porch and thinking: This is Canada. And you? You’re in Germany. […]

Acid is the fastest flame in the world Ceviche isn’t just a summer dish. It’s the very definition of summer. No stove, no oven, no waiting—just a knife, a bowl, and the knowledge that acidity is the most powerful tool in the kitchen. Lime juice does what a flame would do: it transforms. Raw shrimp […]

Everything has its time to bloom—and that time is now Zucchini blossoms are impatient. They’re on the market for two or three weeks, then they’re gone. If you hesitate, all you’ll get is zucchini. If you grab them, you get something that defies categorization: tender, slightly sweet, almost translucent—and yet with a presence that transforms […]

Canada’s take on the art of simplicity Brown butter isn’t a sauce. It’s a choice. The moment when butter stops being butter and starts to smell of hazelnut, caramel, and depth—that is the moment this dish has been waiting for. Toss the gnocchi in it, add sage leaves that crisp up and release their oil, […]

June 1st. The last of the asparagus. The first summer evening. Green asparagus has another two or three weeks left—the peas are just perfect, the lemons as juicy as ever, and it’s warm enough outside to sit at the table with a glass in hand and wait for the pasta to finish cooking. Pasta Primavera […]

Corpus Christi without the hassle – Canada’s Pinot Gris does the rest A holiday isn’t a reason to spend hours in the kitchen. Salmon tartare requires a sharp knife, a ripe avocado, a bit of finesse when seasoning—and twenty minutes. The sesame crispbread adds crunch, the avocado cream adds depth, and the salmon adds freshness. […]

Japanese precision meets Alpine Sauvignon Blanc—both from the south Anyone who thinks sushi goes only with green tea or beer hasn’t tried a Sauvignon Blanc from Central Otago. The Amisfield, grown in the highlands above the Wakatipu Basin, offers exactly what a sushi platter needs: crystal-clear acidity, salty minerality, and fruit that doesn’t compete but […]

Seasonal precision on the plate—and a Burgundy Chardonnay from the ends of the earth Wine from New Zealand has nothing to prove when it’s as impressive as the Main Divide Chardonnay from the Waipara Valley. Many people think of New Zealand’s South Island as Sauvignon Blanc territory—yet in the lee of the Southern Alps, on […]

Canadian wine meets Japan – a Niagara Sauvignon Blanc that no one saw coming A Canadian wine paired with a scallop dish—that sounds like a surprise that has to prove itself. The 2024 Creekside Estate Sauvignon Blanc from Niagara does just that. Grapefruit, lime, fresh peas, a hint of green herbs—this is no tame wine, […]

The Final Weeks of White Gold – and a New Zealand Wine No One Expected Wine from New Zealand and white asparagus—at first glance, that sounds like an unusual pairing. But anyone who has ever sipped the Seifried Estate Grüner Veltliner from Nelson alongside freshly peeled asparagus will immediately understand why this combination works. There […]
