The whole experience with Kit was amazing. It started with a handshake and finished with a hug. Going through the local organic market with Kit showed us a new world of seasonal and quality produce. She explained where the products came from, made us taste honey, apples and meat, and talk to the producers. The class itself was comprised of 3 dishes (salad, main dish and dessert) accompanied by champagne and wine. We learned how to work with new roots, vegetables and meat. Kit's place is an amazing apartment very nearby the market and next to some really cool food, chocolate and wine shops. Kit is really passionate about what she does and that creates such an easy going atmosphere, essential for such an experience.

Explore culinary Germany with Kit is a must do if you are visiting this city or a local that wants to experience shopping at the market and the little shops on your way back to Kit's kitchen to cook. The enthusiasm and passion Kit has for cooking and the hands on with her in the kitchen preparing all the courses make for a culinary experience that you get to enjoy after 3 hours of preparation. The meal is out of this world and you were part of the preparation from start to finish. Thank you Kit for a lovely day with you and the meal was delicious. We can't wait to go home and prepare the soup, meatballs and apple strudel for our friends. I highly recommend Kit's culinary exploration of Berlin and Beyond.

Kit is a truly passionate chef and foodie – she loves the stories behind the products, searches always for the freshest and most interesting ingredients. She is super creative when it comes to cooking, always ready to try something new. If you love fresh garden cuisine, you will instantly fall in love with Kit's style of cooking. It's simply fresh, honest and delicious, yet with a certain rafinesse.
Ines, October 2016 ------------ Kit provided us with a wonderful culinary experience in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. An outstanding cook, hostess and conversationalist, Kit conveyed intricate knowledge of local, seasonal produce, products and ingredients. Her highly organized yet seemingly effortless guidance, in combination with her obviously well-honed skills, yielded a feast of nuanced flavors in sometimes surprising, delicious combinations, equally pleasing to the palate and the eye. Kit's passion and creativity served as a fantastic inspiration for the home cook. Attention to detail extended to interesting twists on freshly made non-alcoholic beverages as well as a lovely choice of wines to complement the dishes of the day. Plus, Kit's ability to spark and support children's enthusiasm for the culinary arts was a delight to behold. A most delicious slice of local culture.
Caroline, September 2016 ---------- My girlfriend and I were looking for an authentic Berlin cooking experience and we found it in Kit's market tour and cooking class! After visiting the market to pick up fresh meats, fruits and veggies, we returned to Kit's kitchen to prepare a delicious meal of wild herb tomato salad with figs and goat cheese, ‘Kohlrouladen’ (stuffed cabbage rolls)(both meat and vegetarian versions), and plum cake with whipped cream. Preparing it was half the fun and we enjoyed several glasses of sekt while we worked in the kitchen. The results were delicious and we enjoyed delightful conversation with our host. By the time we were done it seemed more like we had just made lunch and dined with a close friend than taken a cooking class. Cooking and dinning are a great way to experience a place and Kit's class was a high point of our trip to Berlin. Highly recommended.
Tom, September 2016 ---------- It was with high expectations that I took Kit's market tour and cooking class. But even so, I was completely blown away by the experience, which turned out to be so much better than I had thought possible. She instantly made friends with everyone and took us away on a journey into the realm of food. She has so much to share about the specialty produce we saw at the Winterfeld farmer's market. The visit in the chocolate store was a revelation (and very hard to leave). We arrived in Kit's kitchen with what seemed to be an impossible variety of food which we then amazingly were able to turn into a gorgeous three course menu under her helpful and well organized guidance. The dishes were improvised around what we found on the market on that day, inspired by traditional german food heritage but interpreted by Kit in a fresh new way. The details like her home grown Lila Luzy chilies and the awesome german sparkling wine that she found in a small wine specialty shop were just perfect as well. Dinner was served in her nice and welcoming dining room underneath a green chandelier. Kit is a very warm and open host and most of all she's lots of fun. It was a unique and great Berlin experience to fondly remember for a very long time.
Piers, September 2016 ------------ Kit has taken me on an adventurous food tour through Berlin's beautiful Winterfeld Market. I got to know beautiful colored wild herbs and edible leaves, a variety of funny looking German cabbages and potatoes, and wonderful local meat and poultry. Back in her home kitchen, I learned how to make stuffed cabbage rolls, an old Byzantine recipe and from the middle ages, and German plum cake. Our group had the home-made meal in Kit's wonderful, traditional "Speisesaal" (dining hall) that is crowned by the most amazing porcelain chandelier. Kit is extremely knowledgable and a very creative cook, and a gracious host. The food and wine selection was impeccable and the whole group enjoyed spending a wonderful day in a Berlin home.
Markus, August 2016 ------------ Kit is a wonderful woman and host. Her upbringing made her appreciate and know what good quality ingredients and home cooking really means. Her passion shows in everything she does and it's always great to listen to her stories while she is hosting guests for her beautifully prepared meals. You feel like in a family home just as in the old days.
Boris, August 2016 ------------ I've had the immense pleasure of eating at Kit's table on several occasions. Kit is an extremely talented and warm hearted hostess, creating the most lovingly prepared and amazingly delicious food that make your taste buds tingle with delight. Her ability to gather good company and a growing number of fans around her as an extended family makes an evening at her table unforgettable. A stimulating experience on more than one level. Highly recommended!!!
