Tasting Campania – From Naples to Paestum on the Mediterranean Diet Trail

Tasting Campania – From Naples to Paestum on the Mediterranean Diet Trail

*Press Trip Through Campania with *I Love Fruit & Veg from Europe* Naples, the capital of Campania at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, is a melting pot of cultures, vibrant, noisy, and full of passion, much like my hometown Tehran. And its culinary tradition? Absolutely legendary. Neapolitan pizza, fresh pasta, juicy seafood, sun-ripened vegetables, and arguably the best mozzarella in the world. Here, tomatoes shine brighter, basil smells richer, pizza is lighter, and the seafood tastes of the sea. Everything feels a little more authentic, more sensual, more full of life. Join me on my week-long culinary journey Tasting Campania – From Naples to Paestum on the Mediterranean Diet Trail. You can expect plenty of insider tips, restaurant and hotel recommendations, cultural gems, and of course the dishes that make Campania so special. Fresh and full of flavor – this is the real taste of Southern Italy. Pronti? Andiamo!

*This post includes ad for FrischeParadies* The invitation to the gourmet weekend at FrischeParadies in Frankfurt, focused on Southeast Asian cuisine, is something I don’t hesitate to accept—I’m in! Especially looking forward to the Finest Tuna & pure Delight at FrischeParadies, presented in impressive freshness and quality. The experience begins the moment I arrive, greeted with a refreshing glass of ILYS de Loire Crémant mixed with Yuzu Sake. The crisp bubbles and the citrusy touch of yuzu create a perfect first impression. From that very first sip, I know this day will be special—filled with top-quality ingredients, exciting flavors, and many delicious surprises. I’m particularly looking forward to the incredible tuna, served at its freshest and best. With anticipation, I dive into a world of Southeast Asian delights, allowing the amazing dishes at FrischeParadies to inspire me. Watch my Video on Instagram!

Rhoihessian Cooking duel- Variations of black salsify á la Carl Grünewald

*Ad in cooperation with Rheinhessenwein e.V. and Gourmet Connection* I was so excited as the invitation of Rheinhessenwein and Gourmet Connection for the “Rhoihessian Cooking duel” arrived. Last year I was already invited and unfortunately could not participate. I´m so grateful that I was asked again this year. As the day of the Cooking contest got closer, I became more and more excited. I have never participated in such a cooking battle and this contest will be even filmed. Am I up to it at all, do I manage to cook the dish of a chef without any recipe and even stay within the given time of 90 minutes?
