Oh no, not another food blog! DIY cooking is so 20th century, since we’ve now got take away and delivery.
Why start another food blog? – Because you haven’t seen one like ours!
Hi, we are Mirja and Bene from the beautiful centre of Germany.
When it comes to food we try to cook as seasonal as possible and to keep the ingredients from around the centre of Europe whenever it’s possible. Finding recipes that combine these ideas isn’t easy. That’s why we started our blog, so you can find lots of ideas in one place.
We both have been cooking pretty much our whole lives. Starting out as guests in our moms kitchens – helping out more or less depending on our age. When we first lived on our own, while studying to get our degrees, we both realised how important good food is for us. Back then we couldn’t afford organic food. To be honest, our money was enough to get something from the discounter. But we still wanted to cook delicious food! That’s why we can now look back on about 15 years of cooking-experience.
Since we are both huge music fans, we love to cook while listening to our favorite songs. Which are…? Well, take a look at the recipes, because a big spoonful of fun is a vital ingredient for every recipe.
So welcome to our kitchen composition!
The main part is cooking your way through the rhythms of the blast beats in your heart. Maybe in between your frying pan and your food processor lies the next tasty guitar lick.

Mirja
Mirja is super talented, when it comes to all kinds of sweet things like cakes, cookies, chocolates and so on. Basically everything that contains an oven for a tool she will prep with perfection. Once she gets started she is unstoppable which eventually leads to you getting some task if you’re in reach. During her time of getting a bachlor’s degree in business she started to learn more and more about organic, local food and the impact our eating habits have on the environment. That ended with her beeing an expert on seasonal recipes.
Her taste in music varies from bluesy rock to punk and metal. Her heart though beats for metalcore in it’s purest form. Of course she’s not only a godess in the kitchen but also plays guitar and writes her own songs.
Bene
From mindset alike with Mirja, Bene likes frying as a way of preparing a meal the best. Anything that can be fried in his cast iron pans is his mettier. As a typical guy he loves to eat anything that tastes good, no matter if it is healthy or not. Bene is often already full, once the meal is officially declared done, for he eats during the cooking time. This is why he loves to cook alone, so he can eat some leftovers of the ingredients unnoticed. His musical taste differs from soundtracks of movies and games to a huge amount of metal. Starting from Metalcore to Deathmetal and Djent – once it is highly sophisticated music it is just good enough for him.
If he is not frying edibles he is into making music, playing guitar, singing (guttural of course) or drumming along to his favorite tracks. But also cars and motorbikes are one of his many passions.
