Cooking with Art – Crepe Cake with Red Berries – Sponsored

I’ve been asked many times about my inspirations for creating recipes and photography. I always say that it’s everything around, from a walk in a park, by visit on a local farmer’s market. I also say that art is very important for me. Whenever I have a moment of doubt, I go to a museum or a gallery and look. If you ever asked yourself what the benches in front of the paintings are for – it’s for me, I sit there quite a lot. I get inspired by colours, composition, light, story and even just the atmosphere. That’s why I got very excited to be a part of Alnatura’s #KunstKochen (cooking with art) . The whole idea is to get inspired by one of an amazing painting from the Städel Museum.

I chose “Breakfast” by Maurice Denis. And it was simply a pleasure to look at it and try to connect it with a breakfast that I could serve. I had many ideas, but when you start to analyse a painting, look at the details, you get an idea, which is somehow just yours. I saw all the small red elements and I wanted to make something with little red berries and it had to be something I will share with my family. This is how the crepe cake with a lemon mascarpone cream and berries was created. For me the beautiful part, next to delicious food, was the time I spent looking at a beautiful painting. It was so refreshing, I am sure it’s not the last time for me, I’ll definitely keep cooking with the art together with Mia. If you feel like a new challenge, check out #KunstKochen for more.
