What I cook depends on the

time of year. We regularly have

a box of vegetables delivered,

and when I can manage, I also

go to the market once or twice

a week. In autumn and winter I

like cooking soups, hearty stews

and cabbage of various different

types. We prepare salads and fresh

vegetables all year round. Because

we don’t eat any meat or fish, we

use a lot of legumes and nuts.

I love cooking and do it every

day – preferably for lots of people

who I’ve invited over. Because I

cook a lot of vegetables, I always

need sharp knives. I have three

very good knives, including a

really sharp one with a double

serrated edge. I think the chef’s

knives from the Spitzenklasse Plus

series by WMF are great because

they are the perfect size. It also

cuts through the vegetables really

cleanly. I’m very thorough when it

comes to looking after my knives.

I try to clean them carefully,

and I have a stone at home for

sharpening the knives that I can

do myself. For the others, I go

to the knife sharpener at the

Isemarkt in Hamburg.

Cooking should first and

foremost be fun, because for

me it’s a relaxing hobby and not

a job. Though, of course, I still

like to have professional kitchen

equipment at home.
