The Hulk
It drinks water like a thirsty ox and consumes so much CO2 that we really shouldn’t be consuming it every day. Apart from that, avocado is simply an awesome fruit. If we do treat ourselves to it, then please don’t use it as a run-of-the-mill guacamole, but rather as a burger. Or mousse! Or taco! “The Avocado Book” summarizes everything you need to know about the green hipster fruit and provides the best recipes that turn the silky green fruit into more than just mushy mush.

All about beans
No morning without caffeine. However, we no longer drink coffee with the same indifference as tap water. We want exciting blends, well-roasted beans, coffee that knocks our socks off. But where can you find the kings among the roasters who have dedicated themselves to the brown bean down to the smallest toe? The new platform www.coffeeavenue.ch, which makes coffee junkies feel like toddlers in a toy store, is here to help. Roasters offer their coffee here, and coffee machines and various accessories for the perfect coffee experience can also be purchased.
Sun salutation
Dancing leaves, pattering rain – no matter how autumn presents itself to us, we make the best of it. So we sit at home and sip our new favorite tea, the “Lemon Beach” variety from Sirocco. The blend of organic white hibiscus and Moroccan organic mint is given a fruity-fresh note by orange, lemon and apple, without making the infusion too sweet. Sirocco, “Lemon Beach”, 20 sachets, approx. 17.-
Big Apple
The perfect apple has to be nice and round and without any dents. But what happens to the specimens that don’t end up so temptingly on the supermarket shelf? They find their place in the apple juice from KLiMAAPFEL, the German company that gives second-choice apples a new chance. And NORK, known for its grain schnapps, is now incorporating this into its latest creation, the apple-cinnamon liqueur. With tonic on ice or as a flavoring in punch, this delicious blend not only accompanies us to the festive table, but is guaranteed to last beyond. NORK, “Apple-cinnamon liqueur”, 500 ml, approx. 20.-
