From classic favorites to new discoveries, find recipes that appeal to your taste buds.
Moderator. Culinary Influencer. Publisher.
Welcome to my recipe and culinary culture blog.
This is where I share recipes, personal culinary approaches and the stories that have shaped my work – through travel, encounters with producers, chefs and hosts, as well as on stages across Austria and internationally. For me, culinary culture is not a trend, but an attitude: honest, curious and connective.
What truly drives me, however, goes beyond writing, moderating or consulting. It is the opportunity to make culinary culture tangible – through content, encounters and formats with substance. This is also why I proudly represent Austria as a Brand Ambassador of HOST Milano, the world’s leading trade fair for gastronomy and hospitality.
As a moderator and speaker, I have accompanied national and international events for many years: balls and galas, panels, competitions and industry gatherings focusing on culinary culture, hospitality, design and contemporary food narratives. I enjoy giving people visibility, contextualising topics and shaping conversations that inspire, inform and leave a lasting impression.
Interested in a collaboration?
I work selectively with brands, destinations and institutions that stand for quality, craftsmanship and authenticity – and that share a genuine interest in telling meaningful stories around taste and culture.

Media. Formats. Responsibility. Creating Taste with Substance and Impact
My journalistic foundation is my work as publisher and editor-in-chief of Genusspunkt Magazine. Since 2025, Genusspunkt has been published not only as an online platform, but also as a high-quality e-paper and print magazine, released three times a year in German and English. The editorial focus lies on culinary culture, hospitality, design and international perspectives – with depth, clarity and strong visual storytelling.
Alongside this, I work as a culinary influencer and content creator. Through my own channels, formats and this blog, I tell stories about food, travel, products with values and places with soul. Collaborations are chosen consciously and selectively. Previous partners include Goldhelm Chocolate, Aroma Hopping, SteirerBitter and Fabico Coffee.
Supporting the next generation is a core concern of my work. With the competition format Taste of Tomorrow, launched in 2025, I spotlight young talents and future-oriented ideas within gastronomy and hospitality. In 2026, this will be complemented by Heroes of Tomorrow, an award honouring individuals who shape the industry with courage, responsibility and innovative thinking.
Since 2026, I have also been responsible for the culinary section of the international bookazine stayinart. In this role, I connect culinary culture with art, design, architecture and contemporary culture, curating content at the intersection of taste and aesthetics.
Responsibility does not end with enjoyment or the stage. I am actively involved in various charity initiatives, including as a member of Rotary Club Graz Fortuna and as a patron of the initiative “Köche kochen für die Austrian Cancer Aid”.

A Look Back – Experience as a Foundation
Born in 1981 in Graz, in the heart of Styria, my professional journey initially began in the field of law, working as a jurist and mediator. After positions at dbv-Verlag and Anton Paar GmbH, it quickly became clear that my passion lay not in legal texts, but in culinary culture, hospitality and the people behind it.
From July 2012 to June 2014, I served as editor-in-chief of the gastronomy trade magazine Oscars. This period marked a decisive turning point, allowing me to fully focus my journalistic work on gastronomy, hospitality and culinary culture, while strategically building my professional network within the industry.
From 2014 until the end of 2024, I was editor-in-chief of Falstaff Profi (formerly Falstaff Karriere). Until July 2023, I also acted as managing partner and co-publisher. These years were characterised by a strong focus on career development, professional networks, talent promotion and excellence in the B2B hospitality sector.
A key milestone during this time was the development of the Falstaff Young Talents Cup, which I co-founded and curated from 2015 to 2024 together with my partner Heimo G. Jessenko. The competition offered young talents in bar, vegetable cuisine, pastry, hosting and kitchen disciplines a prominent platform, supported by a high-profile network of jurors, experts and industry partners.
Since 2025, my focus has been on expanding my own media, event and brand formats. Together with my agency JeGo, I support companies, tourism destinations and brands in strategic communication, content creation and event concepts.
Today, all of these experiences come together in my work as a moderator, culinary influencer and publisher – at the intersection of stage, content and culinary culture, always driven by the goal of giving people, ideas and quality the visibility they deserve.
