FACIL on Tour 2018

27./28.01. - 31st Schleswig-Holstein Gourmetfestival at the Parkhotel Ahrensburg & 27./28.10. - 32nd at the Ringhotel Friederikenhof

Twice we were invited to the Schleswig-Holstein Gourmet Festival. For the 31st we were called to the Parkhotel in Ahrensburg to the restaurant Le Marron. We cooked together with the team of the restaurant. The festival was founded in 1987 by the cooperation Gastliches Wikingland e.V. In fact, the festival is one of the oldest gourmet festivals in Germany and should not be missing in the calendar of every gourmet. The festival continues for several months, from September to March. That's why we were allowed to participate once again this year in the 32nd Festival at the Ringhotel Friederikenhof. We cooked a 5-course menu together with the kitchen team and chef Dirk Werner in the idyllic estate in Lübeck. Among other things, there were beetroot, smoked crème fraîche and soy caviar. The Kieler beer "Lillebräu" and wines from the Schlumberger portfolio and Selters could not be missed.
It was a great pleasure for us, to be there twice this year and we are looking forward to many more.

Every year we are inviting to a cooking class at FACIL. Together with our guests, we rang in the culinary spring and cooked together at our stove in April this year.

We are both very curious who will be visiting us in our kitchen next year!

From the 5th to the 9th of November, well-known chefs, actors and actresses made sandwiches for the poor and homeless. The FACIL team also participated in the campaign for one day.
