Wednesday morning in Oerlikon with my big basket to fill up with all the fresh vegetables from www.haabwalser.ch and flowers for a long table. TAVOLATA TRE starts…
The Menu is set with lots of winter vegetables like beet root, savoy cabbage, fennel and of course my big pasta-bowl… At Viadukt I bought all the other things: Grappa, Cafe and Peppe at Berg und Tal, the most delicious Burrata as well as a piece of Le Cironé, one of my favorite cheeses at Tritt.
Some cooking hours later I was happy to welcome my guests in the warm atmosphere of Freiwerk and I enjoyed another wonderful evening with lots of good moments and talks. That is what it’s all about.

Grazie a tutti.

A wonderful train ride from Grad Central Station up north along the Hudson to Beacon, a small village with a great Art Foundation.
Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries, opened in 2003 as a museum to house its renowned permanent collection of major works of art from the 1960s to the present. Dia:Beacon occupies a nearly 300,000-square-foot historic printing factory. The galleries are vast and the collection is amazing. A truly inspiring trip to make a break from the hustle in NYC.

My favorite place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A simple surprising seasonal cuisine in an industrial hospitable atmosphere with nice staff. Almost perfect – should just be in ZH not in NY… or I in NY not in ZH…
