Hobenschnack mit Pilzgarten

In the organizer's words:

What can you expect? Shared snack and creative 4-course menu with local food producers
food producers - eat smart!
We'll learn about the people, products and solutions from the region. We discuss, listen and ask questions. In between, we'll take two culinary breaks and enjoy the food together. The event will be hosted by journalist Dorothea Heintze and will also feature NDR chef and Hobenköök chef Thomas Sampl.

About the producers:
Pilzgarten has stood for a real passion for mushrooms for almost 30 years. Since 1996, noble mushrooms have been produced here according to organic guidelines, today as a certified Demeter farm. In Helvesiek, between Hamburg and Bremen, varieties such as shiitake, king oyster mushrooms and the special black pearl are grown in twelve greenhouses. What sounds like nature is real manual work: around 60 people work every day to ensure that high-quality organic edible mushrooms are produced from sustainable raw materials such as beech wood sawdust and grain. Each mushroom is given its own substrate - tailored to taste, texture and optimal growing conditions. Pilzgarten combines traditional craftsmanship with modern, sustainable approaches: its own energy supply, environmentally friendly packaging and a clear focus on transparency and regionality. Their mission: to show how versatile, aromatic and responsibly produced mushrooms can be.
mushrooms can be.

Topic of the evening:
Together we dive into the world of mushroom cultivation: How are noble mushrooms actually created? Why are substrate, climate and manual labor decisive for quality and taste? And what makes varieties such as shiitake or king oyster mushrooms so special? we will talk about sustainable production, short distances and why mushrooms are far more than just a side dish. We also take a look at new varieties such as the Black Pearl and discover how much umami and creativity they contain - perfect for the fall kitchen.

The menu will be announced a few weeks in advance.
