30 October 201712 July 2019 EVENTSCooking at villa verdi Monika Brzywczy For the second time, we had a pleasure to work with the Grand Theatre National Opera. Together with Sebastian Wełpa, chef at Warsaw’s Ale Wino restaurant, we prepared a dish that appeared in Carlo Verdi’s Rigoletto. This composer was a huge enthusiast of the culinary art, he attached a great deal of importance to food. He also thoroughly examined the cooks for his home kitchen, as he never employed the famous ones. He loved strong coffee, good wine, and risotto!
29 October 201712 July 2019 EVENTS(Polski) Terroir forum w Budapeszcie Monika Brzywczy Tokay and Egri Bikaver. Or, perhaps the hairy, fat pig Mangalica. These are the first culinary associations that come to our minds when we think about Hungary. But who of you knows that apart from the delicious pork there are the grey cattle from the Hungarian Pannonian steppe? And the wine? Would you believe that there are 22 winery regions in this country? We like Hungarian goulash, lecsó, or foie gras, but actually, we don’t know much about the rich culinary culture of our Hungarian “cousins”. This is why it is worth going to Terroir Forum in Budapest. Following Berlin’s Terroir this is yet another event which brings together gastronomy sector and the foodies.

We are huge fans of high quality coffee beans and tea leaves. We are interested in different methods of brewing, from traditional to avant-garde ones, which we have discovered with the arrival of the third wave of coffee. We also understand that what we drink our favourite hot drinks from is as much important. This is why, from the very first edition of our festival, we have Polish ceramics artists, who create in their workshops unique, hand-made mugs, jars, bowls and gaiwans.

01 October 201712 July 2019 EVENTSUSTA IN FLAMES Monika Brzywczy The new, autumn issue of our magazine is dedicated to fire. Maybe it's the chilly weather that arrived already at the end of holidays, or maybe it's the long freezing months ahead that inspired the topic. Anyway...
