Cooking is one of the most pleasurable forms of cultural exchange. Over 100 recipes introduce the diverse Portuguese kitchen, its rich past, present and future. Photography and illustration tell you how things are done, as well as the stories behind the dishes - of culinary refinement, the joy of cooking and of sharing. None of the international team - neither me, the head of this experiment, to photographers or publishers had ever worked on a cookbook. It was very personal, nerve-wracking and wonderful.&nbsp; Concept, Text, Illustrations: Alexandra KloboukConcept, recipes, text: Rita Cortes Consultation, recipe contribution: Luis EhlertGraphic

country speaks volumes about its history, its people, its climate, its nature. My experience of Portugal cannot be separated from sharing meals with friends and strangers.&nbsp; Food connects beyond borders and opens the hearts and mouths of those who previously knew nothing about Portuguese culture. This very personal book was created in collaboration with Rita Cortes, who introduced me to the secrets of the kitchen and its cooks. The combination of photography and drawing is an important means of sharing my personal encounter with Portugal and its people. Each page contains a tip for the unknown recipe or ingredience or an anecdote explaining the origins and legends of the respective recipe. Recipe illustrations explain the route to the foreign dish and the handwritten text is the narrator's personal commentary on her journey of discovery through a new culture. The entire narrative and the lovingly elaborate execution aim to create closeness, to get the reader involved and invite them to discover for themselves. Despite the inexperience of everyone involved when it comes to making cookbooks, the relative unfamiliarity of Portuguese cuisine in Germany and the fast-moving nature of the cookbook market, the book is currently in its 5th edition.&nbsp; <img width="1310" height="1092" width_o="1310" height_o="1092" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7818d675da018d5f6ee0a3669c58f7680dd53c4d52b17651b9d0bc479ba5044f/Bildschirmfoto-2024-03-06-um-16.19.43.png" data-mid="206181209" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7818d675da018d5f6ee0a3669c58f7680dd53c4d52b17651b9d0bc479ba5044f/Bildschirmfoto-2024-03-06-um-16.19.43.png" /> Press reviews: “Has what it takes to become a standard work.” &nbsp;NZZ-Online “A wonderfully richly researched and expertly prepared book. All recipes are meticulously detailed and illustrated in a witty and informative manner.” Spiegel Online https://alexandraklobouk.com/BOOK-Istanbul-mit-scharfe-Sose Wed, 11 Oct 2023 12:49:45 +0000 Studio Alexandra Klobouk https://alexandraklobouk.com/BOOK-Istanbul-mit-scharfe-Sose Concept, Text, Illustration Istanbul, mit scharfe Soße? Bir gavurun Istanbul´u kesfi Istanbul — seen through the eyes of a foreigner who fell in love with the city and its fascinating people. Not a guide, but a mosaic of encounters and fragments of life of this vibrant, contradictory incredible place. When I made this book in 2008, in Germany there was a vast ignorance to Turkish culture, despite the Turkish community having lived here since the 1960s. I went to study in Istanbul to question my own stereotypes thanks to my Turkish friends I gained insights into IstanbuI life. These encounters I wanted to share with others who didn't get that chance. Illustrated stories were clearly best tool for that and so with this book I became an author and illustrator. As I drew and wrote about a culture I had only gotten to know, all texts are written in German and Turkish - for the book to be accessible to the people it is about.

For example, by looking at the things that matter to the people. In Turkey, there are many things that are quite ordinary but are attributed a high value and great significance. Many have their own rituals, which are celebrated with great attention and precision. People take the time necessary for this. A few examples of these rituals and peculiarities can be found in this chapter. Yabancı bir ülkeyi tanımanın bir çok yolu vardır. Örneğin, insanların çok önem verdiği şeylere bakmak gerekir. Çok sıradan olmasına karşın değer verilen &nbsp;fazla şey var Türkiye’de. Bir çok insanın büyük bir dikkat ve kesinlikle uyguladığı ritüelleri var. Bunlar için gereken zamanı ayırırlar. Bu bölümde bu ritüeller ve özelliklerden bir kaç örnek bulacaksınız. <img width="1818" height="1256" width_o="1818" height_o="1256" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7e915064176f351d4ab5540b2bd93ebda6b3b3bc5442913d4737763ff8f8c04c/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-29-um-13.44.26.png" data-mid="198138675" border="0" data-scale="99" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7e915064176f351d4ab5540b2bd93ebda6b3b3bc5442913d4737763ff8f8c04c/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-29-um-13.44.26.png" /> If you want to understand Turkey a little, you should learn Turkish.&nbsp;At least a little bit.&nbsp;Because the language tells a lot about the history and mentality of the people. Often, old customs are reflected in it; it is rich in imagery and poetic—and yet not so difficult. Since a large part of life takes place on the street, the volume is also significant. If you want something, you have to make yourself heard. And if you have something to offer, you advertise your goods loudly. Instead of looking for signs, you ask for directions—without hesitating to approach a stranger. This is even easier if you call them "brother."&nbsp;Türkiye hakkında bir şeyler öğrenmek isteyen Türkçe öğrenmelidir. En azından birazcık. Çünkü dil insanların geçmişi ve anlayış biçimi hakkında çok şey söyler. Gelenekler çoğunlukla dile yansır. Türkçe benzetme bakımından, çok zengin ve şiirseldir. Ve buna karşın pek de zor değildir.Yaşamın büyük bir bölümü sokakta geçtiği için ses yüksekliği önemlidir. Satılacak malı olan, malına yüksek sesle övgüler düzer. Ve bir şey almak isteyen bu sese kulak vermelidir. Yol levhalarına bakınmak yerine, yol sorulur. Bir yabancıya sormaktan korkulmaz. Hele ona «Kardeş» dersen, işin daha da kolaylaşır. <img width="1820" height="1260" width_o="1820" height_o="1260" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e5859f853bb66822215f349c96fb49be3e9a1e84b193d4a56ff433a00121988b/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-29-um-13.45.19.png" data-mid="198138680" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e5859f853bb66822215f349c96fb49be3e9a1e84b193d4a56ff433a00121988b/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-29-um-13.45.19.png" /> <img width="1820" height="1262" width_o="1820" height_o="1262" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a667c540475cd7d8adb45b612b1300af527f5ca24c899924f15e1d77e4cbcb56/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-29-um-13.46.34.png" data-mid="198138683" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a667c540475cd7d8adb45b612b1300af527f5ca24c899924f15e1d77e4cbcb56/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-29-um-13.46.34.png" /> Istanbul is indeed a European metropolis, but it is also always an Oriental city. Things are not as safe, regulated and reliable here as in Germany. But it is exciting, lively and unpredictable. You get to know a lot of people because you have to constantly ask for directions. (But you can't always believe them, often they don't know the way themselves, but they would never admit that.) You get to know a lot of strange places, because you got on the wrong bus. You experience a lot of adventures because everything turns out a little differently than you think. İstanbul bir Avrupa kenti, ama yine de oryantal bir kent. Burada işler Almanya'daki kadar güvenli, düzenli ve güvenilir değil. Ama heyecan verici, canlı ve öngörülemez.Pek çok insanı tanırsınız çünkü sürekli yol sormak zorunda kalırsınız... (ancak onlara her zaman inanamazsınız, çoğunlukla kendileri yolu bilmezler ama bunu asla kabul etmezler.) Bir sürü tuhaf yer biliyorsun çünkü yanlış otobüse bindin.

The magazine spread is built of many recipe illustrations served with my texts and stories on the dishes or Portuguese culinary and cultural impressions. It was my first dive into culinary art and I thank chief editor Christoph Amend, responsible editor Elisabeth Raether and art director Milena Carstens for their trust and giving me free rein. I even got to do the wine recommendation - this issue was blueprint for our cookbook Die Portugiesische Küche, which was published one year later at Kunstmann Verlag.

It's best to order a lot of them at once and try them all one after the other. It may happen that the main course has to wait for another night, but what does it matter when you can choose between squid salad, pickled chickpeas, smoked ham, goat cheese, or spicy paprika sausage, the Chouriço assado? Petiscos are not only delicious but also practical because they can be prepared in advance, and most of them can last several days in the refrigerator. Even our Pataniscas (pronounced something like pa-ta-neesh-kash), delicate fish fritters, can be made the night before. However, they taste best when they are warm. <img width="1808" height="1175" width_o="1808" height_o="1175" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a7ec351edaa381e3ab97b2deb9899ae3ce2ce1b73be8ee3b31805e59252831c0/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-22-um-14.45.07.png" data-mid="197737482" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a7ec351edaa381e3ab97b2deb9899ae3ce2ce1b73be8ee3b31805e59252831c0/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-22-um-14.45.07.png" /><img width="2094" height="1452" width_o="2094" height_o="1452" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2467ea26ab187af1e666c8e44151a5b67736942e425199f114d8c4c92defbf03/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-22-um-11.40.30.png" data-mid="197587123" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2467ea26ab187af1e666c8e44151a5b67736942e425199f114d8c4c92defbf03/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-22-um-11.40.30.png" /><img width="2096" height="1450" width_o="2096" height_o="1450" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/07257d900c28896f0ad66c8493f31d943855c4111dc0c7022d3c74aadfe666f8/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-22-um-11.40.09.png" data-mid="197587122" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/07257d900c28896f0ad66c8493f31d943855c4111dc0c7022d3c74aadfe666f8/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-22-um-11.40.09.png" /><img width="1504" height="1320" width_o="1504" height_o="1320" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/45709f24417c127d8086eea4659c4eb19ea9533d3ace0a91bcf80d353e27eafc/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-22-um-11.45.05.png" data-mid="197587130" border="0" data-scale="82" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/45709f24417c127d8086eea4659c4eb19ea9533d3ace0a91bcf80d353e27eafc/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-22-um-11.45.05.png" /> <img width="594" height="530" width_o="594" height_o="530" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca9e695db6f9b792730ae8f7b018e6f1a72852b4fdc5ce5cba331a2ddc6c8b8d/Bildschirmfoto-2024-01-25-um-23.17.53.png" data-mid="202833021" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/594/i/ca9e695db6f9b792730ae8f7b018e6f1a72852b4fdc5ce5cba331a2ddc6c8b8d/Bildschirmfoto-2024-01-25-um-23.17.53.png" /> Peixinhos da Horta, or "Garden Fish”. Admittedly, in Portugal, the land of fish and hearty meat dishes, vegetarianism is still a rather modern trend. But the meat-loving Portuguese also know many delicious vegetarian dishes, like this one.&nbsp; Perhaps this dish originated on a day when fresh fish was simply not available - maybe on a Sunday when no fish is caught because even fishermen have a day off. So, the resourceful cook went to the garden and fished there.The crispy "Garden Fish," which literally means Peixinhos da Horta (pay-sheen-yosch da-or-ta), are green beans, sometimes okra, baked in tempura batter.&nbsp;They look like small sardines but&nbsp; - word of honor - they are vegetarian. "Wait a minute - " some might think, "Tempura comes from Japan." Wrong. The Portuguese did not adopt tempura from the Japanese - they brought the batter to Japan, just like bread which the Japanese got to know through Portuguese sailors.However, Garden Fish taste delicious even without historical knowledge and are truly easy to prepare. <img width="2084" height="1458" width_o="2084" height_o="1458" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b891bf60b76f1d2b33d2a7641d7158ceb4e41e94d3a7d472b7fd04323da1ef12/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-22-um-11.42.10.png" data-mid="197587127" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b891bf60b76f1d2b33d2a7641d7158ceb4e41e94d3a7d472b7fd04323da1ef12/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-22-um-11.42.10.png" /><img width="1528" height="1456" width_o="1528" height_o="1456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ebca83f4d0e3bc99f9c82b41013cd887e2bcda2c840b4d677e7bece503d3c394/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-22-um-11.42.24.png" data-mid="197587129" border="0" data-scale="75" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ebca83f4d0e3bc99f9c82b41013cd887e2bcda2c840b4d677e7bece503d3c394/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-22-um-11.42.24.png" /> <img width="902" height="852" width_o="902" height_o="852" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/57b11744d49c0593455bc7217473c1879ff420db88c8d4d10857bdaae0927070/Bildschirmfoto-2024-01-05-um-15.10.15.png" data-mid="202834242" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/902/i/57b11744d49c0593455bc7217473c1879ff420db88c8d4d10857bdaae0927070/Bildschirmfoto-2024-01-05-um-15.10.15.png" /> Lemon Tarte - how many lemons fit into a cake? In June, Lisbon is turned upside down- The quarters of the old city center are adorned with colorful garlands, tables and the patios are closely packed with benches. The air is filled with the smoke of sardine grills and the tunes of Pimba, a popular folk music with suggestive lyrics.&nbsp; It's the Festas de Lisboa, a whole month of lively celebrations until late at nightin honor of the city's patron saint, St. Anthonio - and his best friend, the sardine. Celebrations also take place in the city's backyards. Modest festive tables are loaded with homemade delicacies from the gathered relatives. If, as a stranger in Lisbon, you're very lucky, you might accidentally stumble upon such a backyard party.It's hard to resist the friendliness of the hosts. And since the Portuguese also know that love goes through the stomach, they will surely want to ensure that their surprise guest indulges in all the homemade specialties. Lucky is the one who still has room left in the end. Because the best, you guessed it, comes now: the dessert. When you are served a lemon tart like this, you should gather all your tipsy courage and express your enthusiasm with the few bits of Portuguese you know. Perhaps then you might receive the recipe for this irresistible tart. The one here was written down for me by Anita, the host's cousin, whose backyard party I attended, and she also allowed me to share it at this moment. Obrigada, Anita!

This book takes the reader in illustrated stories on a stroll through Portugal’s beautiful capital, it’s history and culture, illuminating the beauty present in otherwise commonplace details and interactions. An ideal travel companion, whether going there in person or in mind. Printed in bright blue, it is a homage to Lisbon's intense blue skies.

Am besten geht man einfach los. Man muss sich keine Sorgen machen dabei verloren zu gehen – auf der einen Seite ist immer der Tejo, auf der anderen Seite immer ein Berg.&nbsp; <img width="1522" height="1128" width_o="1522" height_o="1128" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/51d218971766d7a875aa6835b6ddab7fb60dddcadf1bc9e8c573ddf04a8bcd5f/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-09-um-14.08.59.png" data-mid="196362572" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/51d218971766d7a875aa6835b6ddab7fb60dddcadf1bc9e8c573ddf04a8bcd5f/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-09-um-14.08.59.png" /> Wenn man einmal gar nicht mehr weiß, wo es lang geht, folgt man irgendeiner Treppe, biegt oben angekommen um die Ecke und sieht zwischen zwei Häusern hindurch den Tejo glitzern. Dann weiß man, es ist nicht so wichtig, wo genau man gerade bist. Rechts hinter der Brücke beginnt das Meer. Und irgendwann kommt man an. Vielleicht nicht dort, wo man hinwollte, aber darum geht es auch nicht. sondern darum, was einem auf dem Weg begegnet: Jederzeit kann etwas Unvorhergesehenes passieren. Etwas versperrt den Weg oder die Straßen sind zu eng für mehr als zwei Menschen auf einmal. Man muss aufmerksam sein beim Laufen. Dadurch sieht man Dinge, die man sonst übersehen würde.Diese Art der Fortbewegung ist altmodisch, genau wie die Stadt. Lisbon must be explored on foot. The best way is to just start walking. No need to worry about getting lost – on one side, there's always the river, and on the other side, there's always a hill. If you ever have no idea where to go, follow any staircase, turn the corner when you reach the top, and see the Tagus sparkling between two buildings. Then you realize it's not so important exactly where you are. Eventually, you arrive. Maybe not where you intended to go, but that's not the point. It's about what you encounter along the way: at any moment, something unexpected can happen. Something blocks the path, or the streets are too narrow for more than two people at a time. You have to be attentive while walking. This way, you see things you would otherwise overlook. This way of getting around is old-fashioned, just like the city. <img width="1950" height="1392" width_o="1950" height_o="1392" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ab816add8994475eed3d08f257a586eed0dd901abb330e6d462e4556af8755e1/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-09-um-14.17.03.png" data-mid="196362590" border="0" data-scale="92" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ab816add8994475eed3d08f257a586eed0dd901abb330e6d462e4556af8755e1/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-09-um-14.17.03.png" /> <img width="1044" height="1428" width_o="1044" height_o="1428" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b45647ae6078be80d1dcf950a8b707d1133dbbb9f7ba9b16cbc569078fec013c/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-09-um-14.06.06.png" data-mid="196362564" border="0" data-scale="94" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b45647ae6078be80d1dcf950a8b707d1133dbbb9f7ba9b16cbc569078fec013c/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-09-um-14.06.06.png" /> <img width="1034" height="1312" width_o="1034" height_o="1312" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6789a2aec4e9fc16615222f51f960465c0846cb53311ef15b0e29dc5b87c04a5/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-09-um-14.09.24.png" data-mid="196362573" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6789a2aec4e9fc16615222f51f960465c0846cb53311ef15b0e29dc5b87c04a5/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-09-um-14.09.24.png" /> Die Straßen sind wie gemacht, um einander zu begegnen.

Einen schönsten Miradouro gibt es nicht. Jeder ist auf seine Art der Schönste. Eine beste Zeit, um sie zu besuchen, gibt es nicht. Jede Zeit ist die Beste. Aber wer bei Sonnenuntergang hier steht und Richtung Meer blickt, der versteht spätestens dann, was Miradouro wörtlich bedeutet: Gold anschauen. These places above the rooftops of Lisbon are called “Miradouros”. There is no such thing as the most beautiful Miradouro. Each is the most beautiful in its own way. There is no best time to visit.

On the topic Germany's role in the world 160 representative citizens of Germany between the ages 16 and 90 years were selected by a random draw and worked together over several weeks. The NGOs Institut für partizipatives Gestalten and Mehr Demokratie e.V. organized and hosted the event under patronage of Wolfgang Schäuble, at the time president of the Bundestag.

The participants then continued their work using the visualizations as a summary and reminder of their agreements, giving very positive feedback to this unconventional facilitation. Marianne Birthler, president of the civic council chose one of my drawings as a token of this first ever civic council in Germany. It illustrates the difficulty of trying to find balance between&nbsp; guidance and restraint. <img width="1616" height="1238" width_o="1616" height_o="1238" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/844d78202a716445d1904eedb1ffee58a718561adaa6e10341ff0ce92939f5f5/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-24-um-15.48.13.png" data-mid="197748040" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/844d78202a716445d1904eedb1ffee58a718561adaa6e10341ff0ce92939f5f5/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-24-um-15.48.13.png" /> Due to the pandemic in 2021 the event was moderated in a studio, while participants took part online from their homes. <img width="1900" height="1278" width_o="1900" height_o="1278" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6b720c9ccbe97e3c26a8b0711020e51b056ddde48f071146ccdf565a081517d7/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-03-um-12.51.34.png" data-mid="196110050" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6b720c9ccbe97e3c26a8b0711020e51b056ddde48f071146ccdf565a081517d7/Bildschirmfoto-2023-11-03-um-12.51.34.png" /> The presentation of the results of the civic council with at the time Bundestags president Wolfgang Schäuble and the initiators of the civic council and its president Marianne Birthler.

As all my paintings have comments and little texts giving context I got into exchange with the people seeing my artwork that I usually never meet. In order to create a very personal piece every commision starts with an extended conversation about the motif, an exchange I truely enjoy.
