Baker Aureen Aipoh was working full time in an office before Oshione began, whilst in her own time perfecting a gluten-free version of a classic banana bread. In February 2020, Aureen decided to pursue baking professionally by starting a market stall, which goes by the middle name that she was given by her grandfather: Oshione. Beginning first with her classic cinnamon and buckwheat banana bread, she has now expanded to four varieties of banana bread and a whole range of gluten-free baked goods including delicious sourdough bread. Oshione’s best-seller is the Nordic seed loaf, which is a sourdough made from a mix of flours (rice, buckwheat, oat, tapioca), seeds and kernels. She also sells cinnamon snails, dark chocolate or buckwheat banana bread, millet baguettes and loaves, muffins and granola. Her creations are as aromatic as they are flavorful, natural and homemade. Everything is made free of additives, and completely organic. Not sure how to pronounce Oshione? It rhymes with schön, and we can taste why. (Text: Scarlett Peeters / Photos: Oshione)
Oshione have regular market stands and offer their baked goods through their online shop.

The town of Grasse in southern France is the setting for Patrick Süskind’s book Perfume and is known as the world capital of fragrance – it’s also where Berlin-based Atelier Oblique’s perfumes are developed. Bohemian Woods, Marble Sea and Voodoo Flowers are the dreamy titles of the scents created by label founder Mario Lombardo in collaboration with up and coming Parisian perfumer Serge de Oliveira. Each perfume combines aromas for base-, middle- and top notes: the Bohemian Woods for example features red pepper, saffron and incense, while White Light blends fig, orange blossom and jasmine. Fragrances have a very special meaning for Mario, bringing back memories of his native Argentina, which he had to leave when he was five. This experience led him to develop another product called the Alphabet Collection, a range of 27 scented candles, each combining a letter of the alphabet with a unique olfactory bouquet. A wonderful gift idea, these high quality candles are as easy on the eye as on the nose with their beautiful hand-painted glasses and elegant type. Time to treat yourself!

Let us help you through the cold gray weather with a steaming portion of Sichuan noodles. An offshoot of Neukölln’s Han West – aka “the home of dumplings” – a new noodle pop-up on Görlitzer Straße is now bringing handmade noodles and yummie dumpling creations to the streets of Kreuzberg. Creative fillings and toppings like Thai chicken & herbs and Sichuan garlic aubergine will delight any lover of Asian cuisine, and there are many vegan options, too. The sister Imbiss in Schillerkiez, which opened in 2019, is well known for its modern take on Chinese street food and is a must stop on the way to Tempfelhofer Feld. Founders Valentin and Rui once spent the summer serving their delicious dumplings at nearby festivals, and while these gatherings seem like a distant memory, you can still enjoy their creations in the outdoors: grab a beanie and gloves and take a seat on a bench opposite Görlitzer Park. All dishes from the Han West pop-up are served in biodegradable packaging so you can enjoy them sustainably. (Text: Claudia Katzmarski / Photos: Han West & Max Power)

Being environmentally conscious shouldn’t mean doing without a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. Giving this crucial part of the festive season a green makeover is Berlin-based Wundertree, a website that will deliver you a living, potted Nordmann Fir to your doorstep. Better still, after Christmas your tree is picked up and then planted in a forest 35km south of Berlin. Andrew Green and Milan Hänsel founded the service in a bid to stop the felling of over 30 million Christmas trees every year in Germany. And since conventional festive trees are typically burnt in the new year, Wundertree is already 100 percent better in terms of CO2 emissions at the time of purchase – and this will only improve as the tree grows with time. Moreover, through the planting of additional native trees and electric vehicle delivery, the team have increased the environmental benefits even more. You can order trees of different sizes by 06.12.2020 (while stocks last!) making this Christmas as sustainable as it is traditional. (Text: Bui Luu Quynh Nguyen/ Photos: Wundertree)
