Piedmontese chocolate pudding with vanilla quince

A beautiful and strong coffee, anyone? Then, after a substantial meal, this specialty from the Piedmont is the right! In Piedmont, this pudding is called also Bonèt, because its form probably reminds something to a hat or a chef’s hat. Another story around the Bonèt comes from the Langhe. It states that one puts so to speak “a hat” – a crown – on dinner with this dessert. Anyhow, it tastes excellently and even better when prepared the day before. Incredibly handy when you expect guests.

PS: The Vanilla Quinces are a perfect match!

Wild garlic aioli without egg

I bought the first bunch of wild garlic on the market. You might think it’s finally spring! In our garden, the wild garlic, however, has only dared one to two centimeters to the frosty air. No matter, now begins the delicious wild garlic time, which then merges seamlessly into the culinary at least as great asparagus time. Under the motto “It does not get any greener”, I stirred up a wild garlic aioli for you as a prelude.

L’Édition musique N°3 – Geldermann and Cornelia Poletto bring food and music together

Sparkling wine and an exquisite flying buffet go together, that’s obvious. But classical music and electronic sounds? The Geldermann private sparkling wine cellar shows with its extraordinary art project, the Édition Musique, that this is very possible. “Sparkling Keys” is a tribute to a special cuvée, composed and arranged by two internationally acclaimed artists, pianist Joseph Moog and sound designer Kris Menace. Excellent finger food by Cornelia Poletto uniquely rounds off the evening in the Hamburg Jazz Hall.
