The following questions from the Seasonal Veg Head will help you to get to know us better.
1.) What’s the story behind your blog name?
We both love travelling and cooking, thus we tried to find the perfect name to blog off on this topic.But it was not easy, as some of the first ideas had already been taken.
2.) What is your morning beverage of choice?
Uta: In cold and grey weather I fancy something warm. Herbal tea or a coffee with cardamom and honey.
Abel: Check out some of our smoothies, that’s my absolute #1. Or some chocolate soy milk.
3.) How many different locations (states or countries) have you lived in?
Uta: I have lived in Hungary, Spain and Germany. I spent a few months in Norway and also some summers in the Czech Republic.
Abel: I have lived in Mexico and Germany so far but I hope to get the chance to live in more countries. Working on a cruise ship I could get a glance of quite a few places that I would like to return to.
4.) Are you a morning person or night owl?
Uta: Yes.
Abel: That’s easy, a night owl.
5.) If you had to choose only one country’s cuisine to eat, what would it be?
That’s so mean!!! We love to eat Indian, Mexican, Hungarian and Italian stuff.
Uta: I think I would really miss Italian food. So Italian!
Abel: Something healthy, like thai!
6.) What would your signature cocktail or mocktail be called?
Message in a Bottle. Actually we’ve invented a Palinquito, it was pretty good! :P I don’t dare to write the recipe, as Hungarians would get deeply offended.
7.) What is your favorite social media platform (Facebook, twitter, instagram, etc.)?
We feel most comfortable with Facebook but also adore Pinterest.
8.) If you had to choose a different profession, what would it be?
Being a journalist and a chéf we have pretty awesome professions.
Uta: Dancer. No, photographer. No, theatre director. No, dancer.
Abel: Cameraman for National Geographic.
9.) What is the best blogging tip you’ve learned so far?
Uta: Be yourself.
Abel: Writing (food) porn brings traffic. Maybe not the best, but the most surprising.
10.) If you could invite 3 people (living or dead) to a dinner party, who would they be?
Uta: Gandhi (I wrote a thesis on him but I am still left with many questions), Georges Bitaud (he’s an amazing Kizomba dancer) and Javier Guarascio from La Dimensión Vegana. Yes, it would be nice to exchange stories and experiences with him.
Abel: Bob Marley, Bruce Lee, Hayo Miyazaki. Just because.
