No, we make simple recipes, always together as a team

We try to select recipes that can be easily recreated at home with the experience gained from the cooking group. When selecting recipes, we are very happy to accept suggestions (e.g. for simple and quick recipes that can be easily integrated into everyday life or special dietary preferences such as vegetarian or vegan food).

We make the recipes available after a group through our blog, so that everyone can recreate all the dishes as they like.

Only helping hands and bon appétit! Our kitchens are fully equipped and we buy all the necessary ingredients fresh before cooking.

Our project is completely financed by donations, so participation is free of charge.
However, during the pandemic, we cook separately at home via video chat. Here, everyone must provide the necessary food themselves, unfortunately, we can not offer a refund.

Each cooking group meets on a bi-weekly basis whenever possible.

A meeting lasts about three to four hours, depending on the recipe.

We always try to be considerate of everyone when choosing recipes. Many ingredients can be replaced by others – we are creative there. In this case, we are of course very happy about assistance and suggestions or corresponding recipe proposals.
