She's the one who made Asian chefs dip their noses into their plates, eat without the help of their hands, fed restaurant guests dishes that matched their zodiacal signs, and made quite a game out of the simple act of making paste. And in the process, she created a separate chair at the design faculty in Eindhoven.

22 February 202415 January 2025 PLACESGUIDE TO WARSAW ustamagazyn_admin Since the first issue of USTA Magazine, we published 21 guides to various cities, in Poland and abroad. We started with a guide to Berlin in the first issue, followed by a guide To Poznan in number two.

The problem was whom should we include in our selection from among the places we have known inside out and which we have been with from their openings and throughout their complex histories. Warsaw is certainly a pioneer of gastronomy in Poland. How to choose from hundreds or thousands of bistros, bars, restaurants, cafes and top art spots? It took our team several weeks of vivid discussions to come up with the final list of candidates.

Most notably in Japan, a rosé version of this wine has even been created especially for the market there. A young wine, only just bottled, but brilliantly promoted.

Aneta Zabiegała set off on a Beaujolais Nouveau trail to the south of France, and persistently wandered between Mâcon and Lyon to see if, in addition to young, easily drinkable and unmemorable wines, it was possible to find interesting, avant-garde and outstanding Beaujolais there.
