Cooking the World

Some recipes don't live in cookbooks. They live in memory — in your grandmother's kitchen, in the smell of something simmering on a Sunday morning. Every week we bring those recipes back. Authentic German food from traditional family tables, DDR kitchens, and regional village recipes you won't find anywhere else.

In 2013 Marta and Matthias met at ballroom dancing classes and discovered that they both have a bigger hobby than dancing – food. One year later they created a cooking blog where they have been publishing their favourite traditional recipes. Marta has learned cooking from her grandma and mom.

Matthias has also been enjoying his time in the kitchen with his grandma since childhood. In high school, he had chosen cooking as a subject, where he learnt the basics. By the age of 16, he was already preparing festive meals for his family on holidays, and this tradition has been continued!
