The main thing is to eat well
The title of this article is a reminiscence of our company founder Peter, a native of Saarland. From him we learned - among many other things - that good food belongs high on the list of priorities and is the basis of almost everything. Taking this to heart, we came up with something suitable for the first team event this year. Simply spending a nice evening in the restaurant and having something cooked for you would have been a little too trivial. Instead, we decided on a cooking evening with Frank Schueler. Frank is a passionate cook and offers the opportunity to create a menu together in his cozy kitchen in Düsseldorf-Heerdt and of course eat it afterwards.
So we met on a Friday at the end of March in Frank's cozy kitchen and after having a small aperitif and a few delicious amuse gueules to start with, we got to work. Put on your apron, wash your hands and off you go, true to the motto: No hard work, no food!
In advance we decided on the following menu:
- Starter: lamb's lettuce with mustard dressing, warm mashed potatoes and fried mini mozzarella
- Main course: Argentinian roast beef, caramelized carrots, bacon-wrapped beans, potato gratin
- Dessert: Mini New York Cheesecake with berries
For the vegetarians there was a cauliflower schnitzel instead of the roast beef. Potatoes were sliced, dressing mixed, herbs chopped, beans blanched, potatoes mashed, mozzarella fried, meat pared, bacon fried, croutons roasted. All this with groovy kitchen music and delicious drinks. When organizing the breading line - yes, that's what it's called in technical jargon - we benefited from our experience with Kanban. Frank guided us perfectly and also revealed one or two tricks. All in all, it was an enjoyable, fun and relaxed evening that once again confirmed one thing: the best parties take place in the kitchen.
A big thank you to Frank, Steffi and Joachim, who gave us a wonderful evening. We'll definitely come back.
