Vegan World Trip
Hot, hot, hot – Mexico wishes you ¡buen provecho!
Depending on your preference, a vacation to Mexico can mean white beaches, visits to ancient ruins and Mayan temples like Chichén Itzá or Palenque, adventures in the jungle, or exploring vibrant, lively cities. But that’s not all – this country at the juncture between Northern and Central America also has plenty of mountain ranges, semi-deserts and sites bearing witness to the colonial era. You’ll be hard pushed to find another country offering so much variety. And, of course, the culinary highlights are among the top reasons to take a trip to Mexico. Did you know that UNESCO has declared Mexican…

Vegan delights in Hamburg
Nach unseren Reisen „Vegan in the City“ durch Berlin und München geht es jetzt in den hohen Norden: Wir machen auf unserer kulinarischen Entdeckungstour Halt in der Hansestadt Hamburg. Die Metropole an der Elbe ist für ihren maritimen Charme, ihre stolze Seefahrtsgeschichte und natürlich für klassische norddeutsche Gerichte wie Labskaus, Aalsuppe oder Matjesbrötchen bekannt. Doch wie sieht es mit veganem Genuss zwischen Speicherstadt, Alster und Schanzenviertel aus? Lässt sich hier auch ohne Fisch und Fleisch wunderbar leben? Spoiler: Auf jeden Fall! Hamburg bietet eine lebendige und vielfältige vegane Szene, die entdeckt werden will. Ob beim Spaziergang entlang der Landungsbrücken oder…

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…

Welcome to the Chicks‘ Club – why chickens make you happy
Sometimes it’s the unexpected gifts that change your life. When I moved from the city to the country four years ago, it was a big step. The sounds of sirens and car horns were suddenly replaced by birdsong and the rustling of trees. But the real adventure began when my best friend showed up with a gift that would change my life forever: three hens and a magnificent rooster we named Heinrich. „Animals can be hard work, but without them everything is much harder,“ she said at the time – a sentence that turned out to be more profound than…

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. And, of course, a good night’s sleep also plays a central role: If we lie awake at night, depriving ourselves of sleep…

Authenticity that inspires – Anne Menden
For more than 20 years, Anne Menden has been enchanting us as Emily Höfer in the German soap opera „Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten“ (GZSZ – Good Times, Bad Times), making her one of the best-known and most popular faces on German television. As strong as the character of her most important TV role is, the actress is also strong in other ways. Animals and animal welfare are two of her greatest passions, and that’s why she decided to go vegan over 10 years ago. We wanted to know more about this and asked Anne Menden about her commitment and her…
Vegan Chef
Ricky Saward – a vegan star
Ricky Saward was the first – and, for a long time, the only – vegan Michelin-starred chef in the world. In 2019, he took over the gourmet restaurant Seven Swans in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and brought about a vegan revolution there. And all of this at Michelin-starred level! And of course, he’s there in the kitchen himself with his team, trying out and perfecting his top-level plant-based culinary creations. As a chef, he’s a perfectionist, plant expert and artist all rolled into one – as well as being very likeable, refreshingly undogmatic, and authentic. We asked him a few…

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…
