Berlin culinary tours
Elements of Food a culinary brand, based in Berlin, was opened at the start of 2015; it put itself as an aim-reconnecting people to their food. It may sound strange, as we never stopped eating. But food as we know it today, has very little to do with traditional methods of cooking. In fact, most of the food that is consumed today by the western society is prepared in factories and is bought, not from its direct growers. In the process, a lot of us also shed away their basic abilities to cook and to experience fresh food and real tastes. Think about it; when was the last time you tasted a fresh vegetable, considering that store-bought food is at least a few days old. Elements of Food is trying to reintroduce people to real and fresh food.
Itay Novik, food designer and and owner leads small scaled culinary tours in Berlin and Brandenburg, talking about the fascinating culinary development of the region. Though the city today is also the home for some quite famous Michelin starred restaurants, he is much more intrigued by the street food scene and the immigrants' kitchens, creating this bubbling mixture called Berlin. All tours are private but they do offer also tours for bigger groups up to 50.
Elements of Food also offers cooking classes and food styling to special events and consulting.
