One night in Nairobi makes the whole world tremble

 I just got back from another trip to Nairobi to help the team there with extra hands during a new customer startup and also to show some new menu proposals for another yet customer, bloody hard 9 days and my back is desperately begging me for some rest, my new kitchen Crocs helped a little!!

To meet chefs from other units and to share experience, hands on tricks and exchange laughter and some beers is awesome and this is what makes our industry so much stronger, diverse background, culture and knowledge is remarkable and true to the power of the chef jacket.

I salute you guys for making my time in Nairobi memorable and I cant wait to see the Dar es Salaam team in May

Mvungi, Shajji, Wayas, Victor, VJ, John, Simon, Nick and Florian, you are on my top list

There is one tea in the whole world that continue to amaze me for its flavours and highest possible quality and that is THEODOR blended in France by the sheer genius Mr   Guillaume Leleu who started to blend his teas in a historic antique creamery from the 1800 at the place de Trocadero in the heart of Paris in 2002 . His passion for tea and flawless flavours took him around the world to source the best quality he could find and he blend all the teas by hand in the small village of Bonnieres s/Seine outside Paris with only natural ingredients that are all produced of sustainable methods and ethic ecological raw materials, THEODOR is also the only tea that the whole range is kosher certified to prove the highest standard possible.

The THEODOR teas can be ordered for the Scandinavian market by Unic Atmosphere www.unictaste.se My favourite is the J.E. Milky Oolong a ...

Chateauneuf du Pape

Travelling thru Rhone valley is a true awakening for the spirit, a wonderful countryside, friendly people and fantastic wines in all the beautiful villages where my favourite is Chateauneuf du Pape, I could live there for the rest of my life so if anybody want to buy a small hotel that I can run J please get back to me. We started our trip in south of Rhone and travelled thru Banyuls and Rivesaltes where they have some of the best fortified wines in the world, nice stuff. The next stop was in Chateauneuf du Pape and the famous castle of the Pope, fantastic view from the old castle overlooking all the vineyards in the area. I meet up with the lovely young winemaker at Domaine du Pere Caboche Emilie Boisson who let us taste all of her wines, very nice and beautifully balanced wines where she used all of the 13 allowed grape varieties in her red blends. After a nice stroll in the small village it was time to try some more CnDP wines to really understand all of the greatness and...
