Vegan World Trip
Plant-based trends olé – welcome to Spain!
Beautiful beaches, cities steeped in history and ancient traditions – Spain is one of the world’s most popular travel destinations. Add to that the Balearic and Canary Islands, which are top-tier tourist magnets in their own right. The culinary delights of these regions are certainly among their highlights as well. Away from the uniform tourist gastronomy, there’s actually a lot to discover. And we’re not talking about sangria and schnitzel. 😉 Nor are the party strips representative of a country rich in cultural heritage, history and traditions. So what is food really like in this country, which is much more…

Vegan in Vienna – sophisticated, cosy, cosmopolitan
Welcome to the capital of Austria! Vienna – many people go into raptures at the mere sound of this city’s name: classical music, an art metropolis with dazzling shopping streets, theatres, museums and, of course, the world-famous Opera Ball. In various surveys, Vienna repeatedly tops the list of the world’s most liveable cities. But wait, wasn’t there more? Of course – its magnificent and world-famous cuisine! Yes, Vienna, the city of coffeehouses, the Sachertorte and – especially in Grinzing, Nussdorf and Sievering – the Heurigen or wine taverns, is a gourmet’s paradise. With centuries-old influences from the former Habsburg provinces…

Creative ways to tackle food waste
Lebensmittelverschwendung ist eines der größten globalen Probleme unserer Zeit. Jedes Jahr landen Millionen Tonnen an Lebensmitteln auf dem Müll, während gleichzeitig viele Menschen keinen ausreichenden Zugang zu Nahrungsmitteln haben. Dieses Ungleichgewicht ist nicht nur eine massive soziale, sondern auch eine ökologische Herausforderung. Die Produktion von Lebensmitteln verbraucht wertvolle Ressourcen wie Wasser, Energie und Anbaufläche. Wenn Nahrungsmittel weggeworfen werden, gehen nicht nur diese Ressourcen verloren, zugleich entstehen zusätzlich klimaschädliche Emissionen durch den Abbau und die Entsorgung der Lebensmittel. Ein Wandel ist dringend nötig – und er beginnt, wie so oft, bei uns selbst. In diesem Artikel zeigen wir verschiedene kreative und…

Life is (not) all about horsing around
For as long as I can remember, horses have been my most faithful companions. I sat in the saddle for the first time at the age of five, later on competed successfully up to the highest level, and now I breed Holsteiner horses on my own farm. My life has been shaped by a deep connection with these majestic animals and each day I spend countless hours caring for them, working with them and enjoying their company. My farm is a place full of life. We have a total of 14 horses, including home-bred foals, weanlings, Holstein breeding and showjumping…

For nerves like steel
There are days when your nerves are on edge: endless to-do lists, annoying appointments, and worries big and small that keep swirling around in our heads, throwing us off balance and sometimes bringing us to the brink of despair. It is on days like these that we long for something to calm our nerves and clear our minds. When the pressure is high and the mind cannot find rest, we can help by consuming the right nerve food.

Advent with a happy ending
Advent is here, the goose takes flight before it’s roasted golden bright. Christmas roast – yes or no? This is precisely the question I asked myself many years ago, when I was still a semi-inveterate flexitarian, shortly before the much-loved Christmas season with all its fanfare and meat feasts. I can still remember the surprise and shock shown by my whole family when, after receiving the obligatory Advent calendar, I told them that I was going to go vegan for the whole month of December. With a smug smile on his face, my father held out his hand to me…
