VEGAN ROCK YOU — THE COOKBOOK FOR FAMILY COOKING AND EVERYDAY DISHES BY REGINE AND ANSGAR FREYBERG

VEGAN ROCK YOU — THE COOKBOOK FOR FAMILY COOKING AND EVERYDAY DISHES BY REGINE AND ANSGAR FREYBERG

I first got a taste for it in real life – and then the book came along. In the spring of 2023, I was lucky enough to get to know Regine Freyberg and her cooking at an Ohia retreat on Rügen (so nice!). The retreat offered very healthy, yet refined dishes – prepared by her, together with Annika Pfeiffer. And on the last day, we celebrated with a big buffet with impressive delicacies from sweet to salty, which I still dream about today. Afterwards I learned: A part of these treats you can recreate yourself from her cookbook Vegan Rock You. The “rock” in the title is no coincidence: next to Regine’s name is also that of Ansgar on the cover – her husband, who is a musician in a rock band called Boss Hoss … but back to the book! The hardcover title, which incidentally was awarded the “Silver Medal of the Gastronomic Academy of Germany 2023,” is 208 pages of recipes for everyday life – with a focus on family-friendly ideas. From classics like potato gratin with alternative “bacon” to the perfect lentil bolognese or pumpkin soup with a twist (smoked and with lentil content), the recipes are not unrealistic but made so that you want to make them once and then again and again – in other words, well thought out, with tried and tested instructions.

Regine, after all, not only cooks for her own family and for various retreats, but also caters events. So the outcome of her recipes should make people of all ages happy. And they do! That’s why we’ve already taken her Banana Bread (the vegan and gluten-free version) on our team outing – and as luck would have it, Regine is currently baking cakes for Cee Cee Cafe while our baker is on vacation. So come on down to Cee Cee Cafe for coffee and cake – this week we’ve got vegan gluten-free cheesecake and moist brownies, among other things. Check out their Instagram channel for a taste, too, or just put the cookbook on your shelf. And of course, you don’t have to be a vegan to do it! So, if you want to be the star at the kitchen counter with cheers from your loved ones: this book is for you!

BUY AND SELL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: EBAY LOCAL MAKES SHOPPING EASY

Window shopping gets a new meaning with this campaign! For the launch of eBay Lokal, you can stop by the eBay Buy Window at Friedrichstraße 153A until 20.09.2023. eBay seller Martin presents his products in his temporary living room. This is part of the “eBay Local” campaign and is intended to show: Buying and selling in your immediate vicinity can be so easy! Product highlights from Martin’s selection include mid-century pieces. If you think that one of them could enrich your life: Go for it! You know, the early bird gets the bargain. And no matter if you bid or buy now, you can pick up the object of your desire straight from Martin’s buy window on Friedrichstraße thanks to the QR pickup code: It is the digital handshake and the basis for private sellers to be paid the money for the item and the buyer to be protected by eBay Buyer Protection. This way, the entire buying process runs securely and completely sans cash or other forms of payment, and both parties are protected by buyer and seller protection.

CEE CEE X UPWAY THE NEIGHBORHOOD MAP — TWO WHEELED AVENTURES FOR EXPLORING BERLIN BY BIKE & E-BIKE

CEE CEE X UPWAY THE NEIGHBORHOOD MAP — TWO WHEELED AVENTURES FOR EXPLORING BERLIN BY BIKE & E-BIKE

Time to saddle up! For the latest edition of our Neighborhood Map series, we’ve partnered with e-bike online shop Upway to curate a city guide that’s all about exploring Berlin on two wheels. Available from today (24.08.2023) at various spots in the city (check our Instagram for updates) for free, the map features over 50 Cee Cee tips for food, culture, fashion and fun that are well worth getting on your bike for. To help you plan, we’ve combined our picks into four cycling routes that include lots of our unique and yummy spots we love. The trips are intended to be breezy, gentle jaunts – breezier still if you’re on an electric bike. If you don’t have one already, that’s where Upway comes in. They are a refurbished electric bike specialist and provide a selection of around 1000 models, which are up to 60 percent cheaper than the original retail price. These models encompass well-known brands like Cube, Riese & Müller, and Haibike.

Once you’ve got your ride sorted, it’s time to pick a route. For those looking to carry more during their journeys, cargo bikes have become especially popular, making them super convenient, particularly during back-to-school season. Offering the best of three Berlin districts in one day, the City Hopper route includes a seasonal lunch and art in a former chapel of rest. Alternatively, for a trip to satisfy all the senses, the Culture Seeker route takes you to an architectural epicenter made of concrete and glass via a handmade scented candle shop. If you fancy embracing your artistic side, try the Crafty Saturday tour which focuses on creative hotspots with a few feel-good food destinations thrown in for good measure. Finally: leave Berlin behind entirely with the City Escape route, an all-day program in the Brandenburg countryside. With your journey planned, all you need to do is put foot to pedal and let the open road unfold.

REFRESHING AND INSPIRING SUMMER READS — RECOMMENDED BY STEPHANIE MCQUADE

REFRESHING AND INSPIRING SUMMER READS — RECOMMENDED BY STEPHANIE MCQUADE

It’s (still) summer swimming season, which means it’s time to go find that bathing suit in the back of your closet and hope that you still have your swimming goggles lying around from last year. If you’re still working up the courage to dive into the cold water or explore a new lake, here are two books I’ve read that gave me that extra motivation to take the plunge. After reading these I found myself yearning for the open water, freestyling my way up and down the pool lanes while planning my next seaside getaway. I even went as far as booking a swim trek, but we’ll leave that for another time. Whether you’re an avid swimmer or someone who has yet to dip their toes, these books are bound to captivate your imagination and leave you yearning for the open water. In Berlin, you can swim all year round, rain or shine – an activity which Turning, a beautifully written memoir by Jessica Lee, will guide you through with its tales of swimming in all four seasons. This book is for everyone who loves swimming, who wishes they could overcome their fears and know what it is to simply float. For true swimming enthusiasts, Why We Swim by Bonnie Tsui will compel you to take to the water and experience the joy for yourself. Tsui shows us that whether we swim for pleasure, exercise or emotional and physical healing, we all have a swimming story to tell. These two books will leave you feeling motivated and seduced by the water, calling you back again and again.

A FESTIVAL OF GAMES — INTERGENERATIONAL COMPETITIONS AT THE TUMMELTAGE

A FESTIVAL OF GAMES — INTERGENERATIONAL COMPETITIONS AT THE TUMMELTAGE

Children, artists, attractions: this weekend (19 & 20.08.2023) marks the first Tummeltage. The what? Yes, the Tummeltage – a kind of  community Olympic Games made by children and artists and open to everyone. Inspired by the 1960s idea of Fluxus artist George Macunias, the participants have created contests that are a bit different from the familiar tournaments of school, work and the internet. It’s all about slowness, noises and crazy aids, unusual courses and wacky trophies. The competitions and inventions will be supported by artists Birte Opitz, Marcos García Pérez, Mikala Hyldig Dal, Weiqi Wang and Yvonne Sembene. The festival (which was initiated by founders of Aktionshaus, Jana Maria Dohmann and Charlotte Kehl, and artist Sarah Brodbeck) is open to everyone no matter what age, body, ability or language. Everyone can take part in all disciplines – or just lie on the lawn, enjoy some snacks and watch.

There will be music and a radio show recording, and at the end the whole festival will be documented in a printed newspaper. To make sure everyone understands each other, there will be translators for various languages and no doubt lots of laughter. So pack up the kids, aunts, grandpas and pets and head to Neukölln. The spectacle will take place on the border between Buckow and Gropiusstadt at the Wildhüterweg playground. Let the games begin.
