Saxony wants to whet the appetite for culinary specialties from the Free State with a "show kitchen". It will be in action at the International Green Week in Berlin in the coming days, according to the Ministry of Tourism in Dresden. "The aim of the trade fair presentation is to take guests on a culinary journey to Saxony - with authentic products, honest craftsmanship and personal encounters with chefs and producers," it said. The motto for the calorie-rich offensive: "This is how Saxony tastes".
Saxony wants to present recipes from the culinary archive
Axel Klein, Managing Director of the German Hotel and Restaurant Association, announced a "culinary journey" from Saxony to Berlin. They will not only be taking current products with them, but also treasures from the German Culinary Archive. "Recipes, products and craftsmanship that have grown over generations form the basis of what makes Saxony what it is today in culinary terms. We want to bring this combination of tradition and contemporary gastronomy to life at the Green Week."
Expert staff have been hired for the "show kitchen", whose menu starts each day with organic muesli mixes from Landgut Tannenberger in Olbernhau. They include star chef Benjamin Unger from Hotel Blauer Engel in Aue-Bad Schlema and Annet Jagiela from Erlichthof in Rietschen, who wants to show how classics can be prepared regionally with fish & chips from Oberlausitzer Karpfen. Tina Wessollek from Auberge Gutshof Bischofswerda wants to show "where Upper Lusatia tastes like Alsace".
