Who we are
We are friends and partners who share a passion for great food, for cooking and believe in the value of eating together. Since we are also conscious about the environment we appreciate the vegan and vegetarian kitchen with all its colorful possibilities. We also believe that a flexitarian or ‘Blue Zone’ diet can offer an accessible, step in the right direction for many. We all live a very active lifestyle and combine sports and meditation as part of our daily routine. Moreover, we appreciate the power of a green smoothie and want to show you the benefits of cooking with seaweed, as the most nutrient dense vegetable on the planet. Seaweed has a long culinary tradition, that is missing from most Western kitchens. We want uncover and share that lost wisdom, and provide easy and tasty seaweed kitchen recipes that work for all ages and add that little extra to your plate.

What is your favorite seaweed dish?
I love them all and especially in powdered form as a salt substitute on my food. In the afternoon I often enjoy a green algae oat milk foamed with a little cinnamon and coconut sugar on top. Sometimes I get a cookie along with that and I enjoy that very much.
Emilian Kreis
Emilian just turned 3 this year and is a very fast mind, we sometimes wonder how he can only be 3. He is very precise in the way he communicates about what specific seaweed type he wants on his meal or bread. This makes us and others smile a lot.
What is your favourite seaweed dish?
I love to try new foods and to sprinkle seaweed all over my plate. My all time favourite is Dulse, I love it with butter on my kindergarten bread. And since I am not afraid of cold water, I very much look forward to jump into the ocean and harvest some fresh seaweed.
Discover our adventure
We decided to go on an international road trip to learn more about seaweed directly from experts, try new products and want to document this trip with fotos, videos and audio information.
