„LOVE IS SERVED“ – published by Sieveking Verlag, March 2021

Book presentation: „LOVE IS SERVED – 116 recipes from Southern California“ – Books are wonderful things. In my opinion, they open up new worlds and show us just how diverse, colorful, and varied our world truly is. And if a book specializes in culinary arts, cooking, and enjoyment, my interest is guaranteed. That's exactly how I felt about the new book "LOVE IS SERVED," published by Sieveking. The book presents 116 different recipes from Southern California across 336 pages, and I devoured the entire book, browsing and gathering Californian inspiration.

What's it about? – The book originates in LA – home to Café Gratitude, a hotspot for celebrities that exclusively offers plant-based cuisine. The café's core principle is "love and gratitude," two aspects of my life that are also very important to me and that I strive to incorporate into my daily routine.

Gratitude's head chef, Seizan Deux Ellis, draws inspiration for his menu creations from these same sources. Each of his dishes conveys enjoyment, energy, and well-being. The names of his creations include "I Am Fearless," "I am Open Hearted," and "I Am Passionate"—perfectly reflecting the positive outlook on life that the American café Gratitude aims to promote and share.

This core principle of Gratitude is consistently applied to the entire concept of the café, making mindfulness and respect, including in the selection of ingredients, top priorities. The result: only organic ingredients are used, and the menu completely avoids animal products, processed soy, and, for the most part, refined sweeteners and gluten-containing ingredients. In short, very healthy and sustainable cuisine.

Now, the wonderful book "LOVE IS SERVED," published in March 2021, comes back into play. The lifestyle and concept described above are skillfully captured in the book through 116 recipes with 150 color photographs. Look forward to recipe creations and ideas that you've certainly never cooked or tasted before.

Divided into sections such as "Breakfast and Pastries," "Appetizers and Snacks," "Soups and Salads," "Sandwiches, Wraps & More," "Bowls," "Main Courses," "Desserts," "Dressings, Sauces and Dips," and "Cheese and Pickles," this book offers the perfect recipe for everyone and every occasion. The collection of recipes caters to vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike, and is always guided by the principles of "love and gratitude.".

On my first browse through the book, dishes that sounded particularly appealing included the "Italian Antipasti Platter with Herbed Cashew Mozzarella, Carrot Pickles, Eggplant Caponata, Roasted Yellow Peppers and Olives, Fennel Salad with Gremolata and Smoked Salt" (cover image), the "Gratitude Spinach and Asparagus Benedict with Chickpea Scramble, Temphe Bacon and Macadamia Cashew Hollandaise," the "French Toast with Cashew Crème Fraîche, Mixed Berries and Strawberry-Raspberry Reduction" (left image), and the "Gratitude 'Double Double' Burger" with beetroot and black beans. Delicious! I will definitely keep this book in my kitchen and use it as a source of inspiration whenever I feel like trying something new. Who knows, maybe I'll manage a trip to LA sometime with my book in tow… 😉
