Cannabis in the kitchen: what you need to know

First things first: cannabis must be decarboxylated before cooking – i.e. heated in the oven at 105-115 °C (30-40 minutes) so that THCA becomes effective THC. If you skip this step, you will end up with a dish that has no effect.

The following also applies to cooking: THC is sensitive to heat. Temperatures above 175 °C break down THC. This is why cannabis oil or cannabutter should never be placed in an overheated pan. Medium heat is always better – the oil shimmers but does not steam strongly.

The advantage over baking: Hearty dishes are easier to portion precisely. A plate of pasta with 5 ml of cannabis oil contains a clearly calculable amount of THC.

Make your own cannabis olive oil

Cannabis olive oil is the most versatile base for savory cooking. It can be drizzled over ready-made dishes, stirred into vinaigrettes or used for gentle sautéing.

Recipe:

1. Decarboxylate cannabis (105 °C, 40 minutes)
2. Heat 250 ml of high-quality olive oil in a pan to 70 °C
3. Stir in decarboxylated cannabis (5-10 g)
4. Leave to infuse for 2 hours at a constant temperature – never boil
5. Filter through a fine sieve and pour into a dark glass bottle
6. Store in a cool, dark place – lasts up to 3 months

Infused Pasta Arrabiata

Arrabiata is a classic – spicy, tomato-based and ready in no time. Enriched with cannabis oil, it becomes a dish with character.

Ingredients (2 portions):

• 200 g spaghetti or penne
• 2 tbsp cannabis olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1-2 chili peppers (dried or fresh)
• 400 g strained tomatoes
• Salt, pepper, fresh parsley

Preparation: Cook the pasta. Sauté the garlic and chili in the cannabis oil over a medium heat (never too hot!). Add the tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes. Season to taste, mix with pasta. Do not heat the cannabis oil, but stir it in at the end – this preserves the potency.

Cannabis beef goulash with raisin

A goulash takes time – and cannabis makes that time more rewarding. The recipe uses cannabis rosin (a more heat-resistant concentrate) as a base, which develops its full effect during the long braising process.

Ingredients (4 portions):

• 800 g beef goulash
• 2 large onions
• 2 tbsp cannabis olive oil for frying
• 0.5 g cannabis rosin (alternatively: 3 tablespoons cannabutter)
• 2 tbsp paprika powder (sweet + hot)
• 500 ml beef stock
• 200 g tomato purée
• Salt, caraway, marjoram

Brown the meat, fry the onions until translucent, stir in the paprika and tomato purée. Deglaze with stock. Dissolve the rosin or cannabutter. Simmer for 90 minutes on a low heat. Temperature: maximum 90 °C in the pot.

Cannabis chicken quesadilla

Quesadillas are quick, filling and perfect for a first encounter with hearty infused dishes. The cannabis oil comes into play here as a coating for the tortilla – and therefore in a place that is not heated up too much.

Ingredients (2 portions):

• 4 large tortillas
• 250 g chicken breast (seasoned, fried)
• 150 g grated cheddar
• 1 tbsp cannabis olive oil (for coating)
• Salsa, sour cream, avocado to serve

Brush the tortilla with cannabis oil, place the filling on top and fold. Fry in a hot (but not maximum) pan until golden brown – at 160 °C, not at full heat. Recipe: Cannabis chicken quesadilla – ZenCannaKitchen

Temperatures & dosing when cooking

Cannabis in cooking does not forgive impatience. The most important rules summarized:

• Decarb first: Always, without exception, before the infusion
• Maximum cooking temperature: 160-170 °C – no higher
• THC degradation: The loss of active ingredients begins to increase noticeably from 175 °C
• Dosage: 5 mg THC per serving for beginners, 10-15 mg for experienced users
• Onset of action: 30-90 minutes – so don’t overeat!

Healthy Living – advice, recipes and more

When it comes to healthy eating, Luke is definitely the right person to talk to as a nutritionist. On his YouTube channel, the Spiegel bestselling author of “100 werden” shares all his knowledge on topics such as minimalism, sustainability and, in particular, a healthy and conscious lifestyle by presenting shopping hauls and giving tips on healthy eating habits.

• Luke Jaque-Rodney Instagram
• Luke Jaque-Rodney YouTube

Minimalism on the plate?

FIV: You talk a lot about minimalism on your YouTube channel, do you also practise it in your diet?

Luke: Hehe, yes and no. Difficult topic. On the one hand, yes, because I only have what I eat at home. Just a few days ago, I donated all the food I had at home to the food bank because it was just too much. Back then, when I didn’t have any money, I always dreamed of having everything.

I only have what I use.

I wanted to have every oil, every puree and every legume at home. I fulfilled my dream until I realized how much stress the whole thing was actually causing me. I completely lost track of everything. I now only eat 30-40 foods and only have what I need. That’s very minimalist.

The reason why I also answer “no” to this question is because, although I only eat a minimalist amount of food, it has to meet the highest quality standards. Accordingly, they don’t cost little either. I sometimes spend weeks searching the internet for the best product, going to farms, talking to farmers and writing emails. The only thing missing is that I also send things to the laboratory. But for me personally, that’s minimalism. I generally have very few things, but what I do have is always high quality. I prefer to buy less, but buy well.

Cook quickly, cheaply and healthily

FIV: What do you think about healthy “fast food” – do you think fast and healthy cooking are compatible?

Luke: I think that’s very easy to do. Look at this. You take a good loaf of rye sourdough, spread avocado on it, steam some broccoli, add a few walnuts and make a lamb’s lettuce salad with a balsamic-honey-olive oil dressing. Anyone can make this in 15 minutes or less. … and there’s plenty of green in it too

FIV: Many people assume that healthy eating means higher expenditure, do you think that’s true?

In my opinion, the money thing is not true. Of course, if you want to do what I do, you can spend a lot of money on healthy food if you don’t want to cut back. But you can also eat very healthily with very little money. I used to be a student and always had an excellent diet. Dried pulses, frozen berries, whole grains, frozen peas and brown rice – it all doesn’t cost much. It doesn’t always have to be fancy.

My body is the only thing I have.

As far as time is concerned: difficult. I think the problem lies more in the fact that we no longer take the time to look after our bodies because we are caught up in everyday life. Whether it’s “a lot of time” if you spend 40 minutes preparing your dinner is, I think, very subjective.

My body is the only thing I have. The only thing I have left. The only thing that enables me to do everything I do. So I look after it as best I can. Almost no time is too precious for me. I think it’s often (not always) a matter of priority.

Fruit and vegetables are must-haves in the household

FIV: What do you think is a must-have in a healthy household?

Luke: Wild blueberries or any kind of berries! I also eat green foods. I eat salad and herbs like basil every day. Omega 3 is also necessary, I think. Walnuts, sockeye salmon, a good algae oil and flaxseed are very high quality sources.

I forgot the most important thing: Cocoa. I am a huge cocoa fan. I like to buy unroasted cacao nibs, grind them into a coarse paste and make my homemade 100-become-chocolate in a pot together with coconut butter, raw honey and a little olive oil. So, if you manage to eat very high-quality organic cocoa, ideally in raw food quality, you are doing yourself a world of good.

I am also a sweet potato fan. In every color and shape. Preferably really pristine, with scratches, quirks and holes. Just the way they grow in nature, unsprayed. I eat them almost every day with high-quality raw milk butter or the coconut, garlic and chili oil from our store.

I think this is very easy to do. Take a look. You take a good loaf of rye sourdough, mix avocado on it, steam some broccoli, add a few walnuts and make a lamb’s lettuce salad with a balsamic-honey-olive oil dressing. Anyone can make this in 15 minutes or less. … and there’s plenty of green in it too.

Eat naturally, live naturally

FIV: In your opinion, what is the be-all and end-all of a healthy diet?

Luke: I always say: take the food as it grows on the bush, tree, field or in the water and mix it with nuts, seeds and oils in raw food quality. In other words, don’t eat anything that has been over-processed by industry. Nature has developed its “products” for our health, the food industry mostly for profit.

Natural foods also trigger natural reactions in the body. Conversely, this means that most illnesses are caused by highly processed and isolated products because they trigger unnatural reactions in the body. Chips, sugar. Soft drinks, cookies and sweetened yogurt are not natural. Nature did not intend it that way.

I know it’s not directly related to diet, but exercise is almost more important to me. Move. All very old people moved a lot in their everyday lives. Moderately, but a lot. Be it the sheep farmers in Ikaria, the farmers in Bulgaria or the Okinawa Japanese, who are active in their community well into old age.

Intermittent fasting and alternative eating habits

FIV: The current trend is intermittent fasting – can you recommend this eating habit?

Luke: Yes and no. I think women in particular should take intermittent fasting with a grain of salt and listen to their bodies. Intermittent fasting can have great effects, which is why I like to recommend it. But it can also throw some people off balance. If you notice that your cycle is becoming more irregular, your hair is falling out or your inner balance is out of kilter, intermittent fasting is not the right thing to do.

If you do sport, you don’t need to fast as much anyway, as sport is an autophagy in itself. Autophagy is the process that occurs during fasting, i.e. cell renewal. In my opinion, 13-14 hours is enough, especially if you exercise in the morning on an empty stomach.

It’s never one size fits all, which is why I always say in my videos how important it is to listen to what your body is telling you!

FIV: We’ve learned an incredible amount today, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, Luke, and all the best for you and your healthy life.

More about healthy eating

Do you want to change your diet but don’t really know how? We’ve put together a list of the most popular eating habits:

• 5 delicious food trends

Ice-cold challenge: rooftop tent adventure in sub-zero temperatures

The idea was to test the roof tent in cold weather. While summer camping is pleasant, here we are facing really icy temperatures. Many of you may know the survival expert Fritz Meinecke, who became famous through projects such as “7 vs. Wild”. On his YouTube channel, he is dedicated to survival in the wilderness and teaches skills that are also extremely useful when camping. Fritz has even tested a roof tent from iKamper in conditions of -7 °C.

You can take a look at the roof tents from iKamper here:

Winter camping with a roof tent: survival expert shows how it’s done

Despite spending the night in the roof tent, the bushcraft feeling is a must for a survival expert. So Fritz Meinecke makes a nice fire on the side, looks for some wood in the low temperature and introduces the roof tent.

From deadwood to absorbent cotton pads: campfires like a pro

We start with practical tricks for making a fire. While Fritz collects wood, cuts it to size with an axe and then builds a fire, he explains the best way to do this. If you want to make a fire on your next camping trip, you should make sure that you mainly use dry dead wood. Then split it into smaller pieces with an axe and use the driest pieces from the core to make small sticks to start the fire. To do this, strike the end of a smaller piece with your axe to split it.

Tip from Fritz: Make sure you have two bundles of wood sticks ready so that you still have something the next day and don’t have to look for and chop wood as soon as you get up.

In order to have a good fire afterwards, the video also explains how the wood should be stacked. It is best to make a small base from the larger pieces and stack the sticks on top in a square. You can use absorbent cotton pads soaked in wax as tinder to light the fire. The best way to do this is to throw the burning absorbent cotton pad into the middle of the stacked wood.

This checklist will help you keep track of how to make a good fire quickly and easily:

1. Collecting dry deadwood
2. Splitting wood with an axe
3. Making narrower sticks
4. Base made from larger pieces
5. Stack the sticks square on top
6. Light wax-soaked cotton pads
7. Make provisions & invest wood reserves

Sleeping area: roof tent set-up & cozy furnishings

Once the wood has been chopped, the roof tent can be erected. After quickly opening the hard shell of the tent and unfolding it on the ladder, the tent is ready for the night. The survival expert only needs one or two minutes to do this. Particularly important: remember to pull the carpet pad under the mattress so that you have less moisture in the tent. Then you have the large sleeping area ready and can lie in it just like Fritz.

Let’s move on to preparing the sleeping area. At such low temperatures, you should definitely invest in a good winter sleeping bag, like the one Fritz uses. It should get really cold at night. Add a lantern to the tent for some light and your sleeping area is ready. Fritz also introduces you to some practical storage options that can be attached to the outside of the tent. These include hanging organizers and sliding hooks.

These things are important when pitching the tent and preparing for the night:

1. Quick tent set-up: Open the hard shell & unfold the tent
2. Avoid moisture in the tent with the right carpet pad
3. Comfortable overnight stay in a spacious bedroom
4. Good winter sleeping bag recommended for cold nights
5. Hang a lantern in the tent for lighting in the tent
6. Use hanging organizers & sliding hooks

You can create pleasant lighting with a lantern:

Practical outdoor cooking trick: Homemade tripod

Finally, Fritz makes a tripod out of sticks. He knots a ribbon to one side and then wraps the rest around it. As soon as the tripod is over the fire, he adds a hook made from another piece of wood. Finally, a pot is hung on it and delicious food can be cooked. In Fritz’s case, a lentil soup. But of course you can cook whatever you like. Just make sure that the food has a long shelf life.

Help with cooking: Make your own tripod

Rooftop tents for road trips & short breaks: Recommendation

Even after a wintry night in the roof tent, Fritz realizes that the roof tent is perfect for a weekend overnight stay in the wilderness. He notes that there is a big difference compared to spending the night in a vehicle. It’s difficult to set up in a parking lot somewhere in the city center. But for short vacations and road trips, he would recommend the roof tent. For him, it’s a variable thing, so it’s not something for everyday use that he will always have on the car, but for certain tours, trips and road trips.

Conclusion: Rooftop tent is great for short vacations & road trips

Advantages of the roof tent: No hotel costs

FIV: What advantages do you see in traveling with a roof tent, especially compared to traditional accommodations?

Campwerk: Compared to other accommodations, rooftop tent camping offers cost-effective lodging options because you don’t have to book expensive hotels or vacation homes. Traveling with a roof tent is a great way to save money during your adventures. Moreover, you save on travel expenses and at your destination you still have to spend money on bus and the like. This way you can reduce other expenses and use your travel funds for other activities and experiences.

Destinations & campsites: Tips for places & how to get there

FIV: First, prospective campers should pick a destination. What routes or destinations do you recommend for families who want to travel budget-consciously with a roof tent?

Campwerk: In Germany, natural areas such as Saxon Switzerland in the east and the Black Forest in the southwest offer inexpensive or free campsites for an intensive nature experience. With impressive rock formations and spectacular mountain scenery, these regions allow for inexpensive camping along scenic routes. Travelers can explore rural areas and avoid tourist strongholds. Find destinations and camping tips here: Camping in Germany.

Choosing campgrounds outside of expensive major cities and using permitted wild camping options offer additional savings opportunities.

You can read more about it here:

• Wild camping

Search for the right campsite: planning

FIV: In order for a camper to find a suitable campsite, he should plan well. What experiences have you had when it came to finding inexpensive campsites or overnight accommodations for families?

Campwerk: It is often helpful for families to use online platforms to search for cheap campsites and accommodation. There are dedicated websites and apps that list campgrounds, RV sites and cheap accommodations and offer user-friendly search functions. Additionally, travel blogs and forums can provide valuable information and recommendations from other families who have had experiences with cheap campsites.

It is advisable to plan and book early, especially in high season, to get the best prices and ensure there are enough available sites. Camping outside of tourist hotspots and taking advantage of wild camping opportunities in countries where it is allowed can also save you money. For that, you just need to do thorough research beforehand.

With these 5 steps you should find a cheap campsite:

1. Special websites & apps list campsites
2. Search travel blogs & forums for valuable recommendations
3. Choose campsites outside of tourist hotspots
4. Take advantage of opportunities for wild camping in permitted countries
5. Early planning & booking in high season for best prices

Get off the campsite: Cheap vacation activities

FIV: As a rule, a camper doesn’t just stay at the campsite. What inexpensive activities and attractions in nature offer families with a roof tent to keep their travel costs low, but still have unforgettable experiences?

Campwerk: You can go hiking and walking in nature, have leisurely picnics and barbecues, or swim in natural waters. Stargazing under a clear sky or wildlife watching are also inexpensive ways to discover the beauty of nature. You can also find natural playgrounds for your kids, try geocaching, or check out local festivals and events for cultural experiences.

These inexpensive activities lend themselves to nature:

• Hikes & walks in nature
• Host cozy picnics & barbecues
• Bathing in natural waters
• Stargazing under clear sky
• Wildlife watching
• Discovering natural playgrounds for children
• Geocaching as a cheap leisure activity
• Cultural experiences through festivals & events

Arrival & car ride: save fuel

FIV: What are some ways families can reduce the cost of fuel during their rooftop tent trip while minimizing their environmental impact?

Campwerk: You can do this by carpooling, driving more economically, and traveling in the off-season, when fuel prices are often cheaper. Additionally, drive moderately on the highway, have your vehicle regularly updated to new standards, choose campsites close to your destinations and environmentally friendly means of transportation such as bicycles. Not only your wallet will be happy, but also the environment.

Cooking & living on the campsite

FIV: How can families make their meals inexpensive yet delicious during a rooftop tent trip?

Campwerk: For this, you can rely on simple recipes and use staples such as rice, pasta and legumes. You can often buy fresh and local produce at affordable prices at local markets. Good supplies and the use of a camp stove allow you to prepare meals yourself, while disposable grills create an inexpensive barbecue experience.

Camping-friendly foods like canned goods and snack bars are convenient, and using shared kitchens at campgrounds can further reduce costs. Through smart planning, recycling leftovers, and additionally using water sparingly, families can conserve their travel funds.

So you can cook economically even on the campsite:

• Simple recipes with staple foods (rice, pasta, legumes).
• Buy affordable, fresh & local produce at local markets
• Use camping stove for home prepared meals
• Disposable grills for cheap barbecue experience
• Camping-friendly food (canned food, snack bars)
• Use communal kitchens at campsites
• Clever planning, use of leftovers & economical use of water

Special Tip: Organization & Do-It-Yourself Ideas

FIV: What special tips do you have for our readers at the end?

Campwerk: For cheap travel you need above all careful planning and organization. When camping, you usually have less space than in a hotel. That’s why you should only take what you need, but also make sure that you don’t have to buy too much new to save money. Find out about the fees for sanitary facilities and toilets. At most campsites they are free, but at some you will have to pay for them.

In addition, weatherproof clothing and a sturdy tent should be kept on hand to be prepared for unpredictable weather. If you invest once in good quality, you have less follow-up costs.

Extra tips for DIY campers: Everything self-made

FIV: What creative solutions and DIY ideas are there for making inexpensive and comfortable camping gear yourself?

Campwerk: There are plenty of creative DIY ideas to make inexpensive yet comfortable camping gear for families with a rooftop tent. Homemade storage solutions, camping furniture made from pallets, DIY insulation, mosquito screens and curtains can organize storage space and improve comfort. Plus, families can create a DIY camping kitchen and assemble a DIY repair kit to make their rooftop tent trip more enjoyable and affordable.

More questions and answers about where you can travel to and what to look out for can be found here:

• Camping in Germany

First, why would you go camping with kids?

FIV: Thank you for letting us meet for the interview. Campwerk is all about camping, because you sell roof tents, tent trailers and camping accessories. That’s why you know a lot about the subject. In your experience, why does it make sense to go camping with children?

Here we have summarized it for you again, that’s why you should go camping:

• Experience nature, promotes understanding of the environment
• Adventure & freedom, good for new experiences
• Family time makes you grow stronger together
• Learning & development for the whole future life
• Relaxation & deceleration: Just relax!

Tip. You can read more about this topic here: Vacation with children!

Just read together – camping with kids!

Tips for the journey: How to make the journey!

FIV: Let’s start with the journey! Long car rides can be very exhausting, especially in sunny summer weather with the kids. How do I make sure that everyone reaches the campsite relaxed?

Campwerk: First of all, you should schedule regular breaks during the car ride so that the children can move around, go to the toilet and eat something. These breaks are important to avoid boredom and heat. You can also take a walk or have a picnic. Additionally, you should prepare entertainment for the ride, such as audio books, music, games, or movies. This will keep your kids busy during the ride and create a more pleasant atmosphere in the car.

Tip: With older children you can also try one of the FIV games:

• Mini Games

Camping: Select suitable for children

FIV: Once the family has arrived safely at the vacation destination, how do I find a suitable campsite?

Campwerk: For children, the campsite is quickly a whole new situation. Since things can quickly get hectic, you should stay calm and always keep an eye on the little ones. If you don’t pay attention, accidents and injuries can happen. Of course, if your kids are old enough, they can help with smaller tasks, like pitching the tent or gathering wood for the campfire. This will teach them practical skills for outdoor life.

My tip for keeping the kids busy when you need your rest or are busy with other campsite chores is to set up your own little play and craft zone for your kids at the campsite so they feel comfortable and have something to do. Pack games, books, toys and other activities for them to use.

Alternatively, you can find out about the children’s activities offered at the campsite and let your children take part in, for example, a children’s animation.

Employment at the campsite: craft & play corner!

Cozy place to sleep: test beforehand!

FIV: Even the most beautiful day at the campsite comes to an end. How do I provide a nice place for children to sleep?

Campwerk: First of all, you should make sure that your children find the sleeping bags, air mattresses or camping beds comfortable. You can also test this before the vacation. In addition, you should make sure that there are no loose cables or objects lying around, so that no one gets hurt at night. You can also give older children a flashlight so that they can go to the toilet at night.

Learn how to set up your sleeping space properly here:

• Camping Living & Sleeping

Clothing: Remember to bring a change of clothes!

FIV: The next morning, everyone has to get dressed, too. What should I look for when I pack the clothes for everyone?

Campwerk: Even in the most beautiful summer weather, you should also think about weatherproof clothing to protect your children from rain or cold in changing weather. Change of clothes is also especially important. Children who spend a lot of time in nature quickly get their clothes dirty or wet and then it is helpful if you have a few clean and dry things with you.

Cooking & Eating: Gas stove, grill & campfire

FIV: We are all dressed now. What is the best way to provide breakfast at the campsite?

Campwerk: Some campsites offer extra breakfast. This is a good alternative, if it should be too much for you to cook. But for a real camping experience you also need a camping stove. This can be a gas stove or a grill. Here you can prepare eggs, bacon but also vegetables. In addition, you should think of cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, toast or rolls with different spreads. Older children can also help with cutting fruit, spreading the spreads or setting the table.

Of course, you can prepare all other meals of the day in the same way. In the evening it can be especially nice to roast marshmallows over the campfire. In general, you should always think about snacks. Children get hypoglycemic quickly when they’re running around all day, and it can also make car rides much more relaxing if you eat something in between.

These are the things you should take with you for a good breakfast at the campsite:

• Eggs
• Bacon
• Vegetables
• Muesli
• Yogurt
• Fruit
• Toast
• Roll
• Spread
• Marshmallows

• Camping cooking tips

Activities: out into nature!

FIV: Breakfast will certainly be very tasty. One of the great advantages of camping is that the family can be out and about all day. What should I look out for when planning camping activities with children?

Campwerk: When you do something exciting in between, you consciously spend time with your children. This creates moments of bonding and exchange, away from normal everyday life.

Directly at the campsite, outdoor games such as Frisbee or ball games are especially good. But also in the surrounding area you can plan activities like hiking, biking, canoeing or swimming. Thereby the children get exercise and you can experience a little adventure together.

These are recommended activities to do on vacation:

Sun Protection: Sunscreen, Umbrella & Hat

FIV: If I travel a lot, I should also pay attention to sun protection. What is recommended here?

Campwerk: Don’t forget to bring sunscreen (sunscreen cream or oil), sun hats and umbrellas to protect yourself and your children from the sun. Make sure the sunscreen provides a high level of protection against UV rays. Apply sunscreen liberally, about 30 minutes before you go out in the sun. You should reapply every two hours or after swimming or heavy sweating. A sun hat or wide-brimmed cap can also help protect your face, ears and neck from direct sunlight.

You can find a guide for the right sunscreen here: Sunscreen for your skin type!

Safety: first-aid kit to protection from insects

FIV: We are now safe from the sun. What else should I pay attention to when camping with the whole family, so that everyone comes back from vacation unharmed?

Campwerk: In advance, you should always make sure that you have a cell phone with all the usual emergency numbers. These include, of course, 110 for the police and 112 for the fire department or ambulance, but also the number of the medical emergency service or the local coast guard can not hurt. For minor injuries and minor illnesses you should prepare a first-aid kit with plasters, wound disinfection, painkillers and fever remedies, fever thermometer, allergy tablets and diarrhea medication.

Against annoying insect bites in summer you can also take ointment or insect spray for skin and clothing. However, if in doubt, always go to the doctor before you treat something yourself.

With this packing list, you can quickly put together your emergency kit:

• Plaster
• Wound disinfection
• Painkiller
• Antipyretic
• Clinical thermometer
• Allergy tablets
• Diarrhea remedy
• Ointment for insect bites
• Insect spray

Consideration: Other families & nature

FIV: Should the family still want to stay at the campsite for a day, what should I look out for?

Campwerk: At the campsite you should pay attention first of all to your neighbors, but also to the surrounding nature. Of course, it’s nice to choose a campsite where other families are also camping, so that your children have the opportunity to make new friends, but always make sure to treat each other with respect. Children should be quiet especially at quiet times. If the child is still too young for you to explain how to be considerate, better warn the neighbors.

In addition, a campsite is often kept very natural and this should be maintained. Teach your children beforehand to respect nature by showing them how to properly dispose of trash and take care of animals and plants.

FIV: That’s definitely good to know. Then thank you for the interview!

Diverse content: cooking, fitness, motivation & tips

In this interview, René tells us why fitness and healthy eating are so important in his life, what his motivation is for producing Instagram content, and how he gets inspired for new recipes. He shares his thoughts on the importance of a strong mindset when achieving fitness goals and shares his best tips for beginners.

Sport as a balance: life as a fitness lover

FIV: You are a fitness trainer and nutritionist. Why is sport and a healthy diet indispensable in life for you personally?

René: Sports have always shaped my life. I’m grateful that my parents made it possible for me to take part in club sports at an early age. I had to find my way around a bit and try things out. But they supported me in every activity and that’s how I ended up playing handball for almost 25 years now.

With 16/17 the fitness training came along and is since then also a fixed part of my life.

Sport has become a kind of balance where I can forget everything else. I always feel better after a good session.

Experience through proper nutrition

FIV: What motivated you to produce nutrition content for Instagram alongside your job? Why and how did you start?

René: Unfortunately, I injured my shoulder a bit more severely when I was 22/23 and had to put my “handball career” on the back burner. During the time of rehab, the thought arose in me to want to know more about my body and my health. This urge for further education has not gone away.

In the meantime, I am completely free of complaints and, thanks to my optimized diet, I am more powerful than ever. I would like to pass this knowledge on to young people, so that they are one step ahead of my old self. I would have wished for something like that.

Also, cooking is a huge hobby of mine and I believe that everyone has the time to cook simple and quick things healthy. I would like to exemplify that.

Produce content: elaborate reels

FIV: Your content consists exclusively of reels. How long does it take you to plan, create and edit a new video?

René: It varies… Depending on the effort, I can be through with everything within an hour, but it can also take up to two and a half hours.
Whereas I don’t see it that way, because the food that is cooked is then always my food for the day … and well, I have to cook anyway.

Spontaneous cooking or planned meals?

FIV: You must have lots of ideas in your head. Do you always plan your meals for the week or do you spontaneously cook whatever comes to mind?

René: That also varies. Overall, everything is very orderly and regulated, but sometimes it comes from now and then that I feel like “this one” creation.

FIV: Your recipes are very creative and versatile. How do you find inspiration for new recipes?

René: That’s a good question… I’m always looking for new recipes that I don’t know yet. When I find something, I mix it with my preferences and often great things come out of it.

Right on trend: Mealprep

FIV: Mealprep is a very trendy topic right now. What are your top 3 meal prep recipes?

René: Mealprep is so important, otherwise I would probably not survive the very long days so well. However, I do not have a top 3, but a compilation:

• A rather unprocessed source of carbohydrates
• Protein source
• Vegetables (for the vitamins)

This must be in, then it always works!

Motivation for a healthy diet

FIV: In your coaching, you help people achieve their goals. How can you encourage people to get excited about healthy eating?

René: We only have one life. In this life, everyone should be as happy and free of complaints as possible. Unfortunately, many unhealthy lifestyles only take revenge in the later part of life and I would like to prevent that, or make it clear to people. Nobody has to walk around with a washboard stomach, but a healthy life should be the claim of each of us.

Get out of the comfort zone!

FIV: How important is a consolidated mindset to achieve one’s goals (e.g. getting fitter/healthier or losing weight)?

René: Mindset is also such a “newfangled” term. You could also call it discipline. It’s like everywhere…

If you want to succeed and chase a goal, you need some discipline or a solid mindset to stay on the ball. We are usually moving outside of our comfort zone and a certain amount of stamina is needed.

The way to the beach figure

FIV: Many dream of a trained beach figure. If I just start now, can I still reach my goal this summer?

René: Hehe, I have to be completely honest. Even the best exercises won’t help you there. The time to start is always … and I guarantee you, if you start now, you’ll be a long way better than you are now. Train properly and consistently. Take care of your diet so that your body and muscles have all the nutrients they need… and the rest is patience and perseverance.

New routines lead to your goal

FIV: Many are still beginners when it comes to nutrition. What are the most common mistakes beginners make and how can you help them avoid them?

René: The biggest are crash diets or any diet pills / shakes. Because usually, after the completed diet, you fall back into his old eating behavior and the kilos come up again. A tip, try to integrate more vegetables. In addition, sweets and junk food consciously enjoy. And in this way, always create new routines that bring you step by step to the goal.

FIV: Thank you René for this exciting interview! We wish you continued success on your way.

Success in baking: Britta is advisor number 1

In this interview, Britta shares her tips and tricks for successful baking with yeast and offers valuable advice for beginners. You’ll also get valuable insights into her absolute favorite recipes and baking tools that she wouldn’t want to be without. Be curious!

From A-Z: Apple to lemon cake

FIV: Maybe you can introduce yourself briefly in your own words, so that our readers can get an impression of you. Who are you and what makes you special?

Britta: Hello, I’m Britta, 55 years old and come from the beautiful NRW. I am happily married, mother of a daughter and a son, who are now grown up and go their own ways. On my blog Backmaedchen 1967 everything revolves around baking.

You can find there starting from (A) like apple pie to (Z) like lemon pie, bread and rolls, simple cakes/pies and desserts, sweet and savory, cookies and co., pastries from different countries and food trends.

It is important to me that the recipes are simple and uncomplicated and contain ingredients that one has as good as always at home or these are easy to get. A small specialty are the recipes with Lievito Madre, in these a part of the already little used yeast in my yeast dough recipes is reduced again and replaced with it.

This is how it all began: In grandma’s kitchen

FIV: Tell me – when did your love for baking develop and how did you get into it, what fascinates you about it?

Britta: The foundation was laid in my childhood, I grew up in a multi-generational household and spent a lot of time with my grandma in the kitchen. My grandma was passionate about baking herself. I was often allowed to help her and we baked together, that was always a highlight for me.

For me, baking is super relaxing and a nice change from the often so stressful everyday life.

FIV: You even create your own recipes and modify recipes according to your individual ideas. Are there certain basics that you need to know in order for such experiments to succeed, or would you say that you just go for it?

Britta: Of course you need some experience, but that comes with the frequency of baking and then you can also “just do it”. I always say, try makes wise and some creativity is also part of it.

Yeast dough: When divas become dough

FIV: I am particularly interested in baking with yeast. For many, it’s always a surprise whether the dough has risen. What are the most important tips you would give to a beginner?

Britta: Yeast doughs are always little divas, it is important in any case that the liquid such as water or milk in which you dissolve the yeast is not too hot, because then the yeast cultures die and the dough no longer rises. The liquid should have a temperature between 30 °C and 35 °C.

The yeast should also not be overlaid, regardless of whether you use fresh yeast or dry yeast here. If you do not have a food processor, you can knead yeast dough well by hand, but here you need perseverance, with a food processor it is much easier.

Knead what the stuff holds

A yeast dough should be kneaded out well in any case, that can take 10 minutes. Here it is not too little knead, otherwise the dough gets no structure and is not fluffy, but also not too much knead what destroys the structure again, because then the dough runs wide and remains flat.

The finished dough should rise well covered in a warm place (about 32 ° C) until it is well doubled, you should also watch out for too long baking at high temperature, because it makes the yeast pastry dry in the end.

A good quality of ingredients is very important to me, I mainly use organic flours for my baked goods or I grind the flour myself with my grain mill. For sugar, I use varieties such as cane sugar, white sugar, vanilla sugar and powdered sugar.

Attention. The most common mistakes

FIV: Now nothing stands in the way of the perfect yeast dough. In terms of experience, what would you say are the most common mistakes when handling yeast?

Britta: These are the mistakes that I think are often made:

• The liquid in which the yeast is dissolved is too hot.
• The yeast is too old
• The dough was not kneaded long enough.
• The dough has not rested long enough.

FIV: Wow, that’s a lot of things to keep in mind. Which type of yeast would you recommend and how do you store it best to ensure maximum shelf life?

Britta: I mainly use fresh yeast, I’m not a big fan of dry yeast, I store the fresh yeast in the fridge.

Crisp Buns: The perfect recipe

FIV: Now let’s get away from yeast. Who doesn’t love it – a fresh loaf of bread or even warm, crunchy rolls for breakfast! Can you tell us the ingredients for the perfect bread and maybe even an insider tip?

Britta: The French baguette is one of the most popular recipes on the blog, you don’t need many ingredients and still get a delicious bread that you can eat with savory and sweet toppings.

• 500 g baguette flour T65 alternatively flour type 550
• 290 g Water cold
• 100 g Wheat sourdough
• 10 g Salt
• 5 g Fresh yeast

The right tools & favorite pastries

FIV: Are there certain tools or kitchen machines that you would no longer want to do without?

Britta: My food processor the Ankarsrum, I wouldn’t want to miss it anymore, because it takes over the kneading of my bread and roll doughs and the stirring of my cake doughs.

FIV: Finally, I’d like to know: Which pastry is currently your absolute favorite and could you tell us if you have a preference for sweet or savory?

Britta: Phew…now it’s difficult for me, actually I have several favorite pastries that are, for example, my crispy Sunday rolls with sourdough that are super delicious and really made very quickly or the Fougasse a delicious side bread that is also very popular among my friends.

For sweet pastries, it would be my cinnamon buns with cream cheese frosting or the apple cheesecake with crumble. Those are definitely the pastries that are high on the list here right now. I would say my preference is the same for both, I love sweet but also hearty.

Here again the recipes at a glance:

• Sunday roll with sourdough
• Fougasse
• Cinnamon buns with cream cheese frosting
• Apple cheesecake with crumble

FIV: Thank you for your valuable tips and exciting insights into your work!

Planning a summer vacation? Try camping!

You are a camping beginner and do not know yet what to look for when camping?

That’s no problem! We have met an experienced camping expert (from Campwerk) for you. She can tell you directly from practice what you should pay attention to when camping. It’s about how to find the right campsite, about living, cooking and sleeping on the campsite – even with a dog – and is it actually allowed to go wild camping in Germany?

First, let’s take a look at the things that make camping so special.

Close to nature, affordable & flexible: 10 questions & answers

FIV: You sell roof tents and camping accessories. You’ve been intensively involved with camping for years. What makes camping so special and why should I go camping in Germany?

Campwerk: The advantage of camping is the direct connection to nature, the fresh air, the sounds of nature and the beauty of the surroundings. Germany offers an impressive variety of landscapes for camping, from picturesque mountains to idyllic lakes and lush forests. So you can escape the stress of everyday life and relax while camping.

Besides being close to nature, camping is also a super easy way to save money! Camping is often cheaper than other accommodation options because you usually bring your own sleeping space and meals. Because of this, you are also independent of restaurants and services, as you can cook your own meals. Additionally, with many accommodation options camping gives you the flexibility to travel further.

Depending on your needs, you can choose between different types of accommodation such as tents, roof tents, caravans or motor homes. You can stay at campsites near nature reserves, hiking trails, lakes or beaches. You can explore these with a variety of outdoor activities, such as a bike or boat tour. You don’t have to do it alone, though, because the camper community is full of nice people you can meet at a campsite.

Quickly summarized for you – this is why you should definitely go camping:

• Relaxation & rest, close to nature – all day long
• Freedom & flexibility – travel wherever you want
• A variety of sleeping options – but all close to nature
• Save costs compared to the package vacation
• Outdoor activities in the fresh air
• Community spirit at the campsite

So cozy it can be with friends camping, with campfire and sunset.

Wild camping, dog & Co.? Watch out for these things

FIV: What should I look for when choosing a campsite in Germany?

Campwerk: Before you choose a campsite in Germany, you should consider what you need in the area. In Germany there are many mountains, lakes, forests or coast. You can also look for sights or cities you want to see.

Then research a campsite nearby! Check the website of interesting campsites and also pay attention to things like the pitch size, compare the prices of different campsites and watch out for extra costs. It is always a good idea to read the reviews of other campers. There are also suitable portals for this.

Where to? Choice between mountains, lake or rather sea

FIV: Which are the best campsites in Germany and what makes them particularly attractive?

Campwerk: As mentioned before, you’ll usually find the most popular campgrounds near lakes, the ocean, or major mountains for hiking.

One of the most popular places is Wulfener Hals Camping and Holiday Park on the Baltic Sea island of Fehmarn. Many campers go there every year because they can camp directly on the sandy beaches of the Baltic Sea. Another tip directly on the water is the campsite Strandcamping Waging am See in Bavaria. This campsite in southern Germany is located directly on Lake Waging. For mountain lovers, the Campingpark Hopfensee offers a great mountain panorama for hiking and a view of the Hopfensee.

Here you can find more about the beautiful places where these campsites are located

• Camping and vacation park Wulfener Hals on Fehmarn – for sea fans
• Camping Strandcamping Waging am See in Bavaria – Fun at the lake
• Campingpark Hopfensee – at the Hopfensee, in the middle of the mountains

Pedal boating at the lake? Then look for a campsite near a lake.

Sheep in the wild: Is wild camping allowed?

FIV: Let’s imagine I don’t want to stay at the campsite. Am I allowed to go wild camping in Germany and stay overnight in the wild?

Campwerk: In Germany, wild camping is generally not allowed unless it is in designated areas or special exemptions. This means that you are not allowed to spend the night outside of approved campsites. However, you are allowed to stand in the parking lot for a few hours with your camping vehicle such as a roof tent, caravan or camper van to restore your driving ability. You may rest briefly while doing so, but you should not appear to be camping there. The camping chairs must remain in the car!

Quick overview:

• Wild camping not allowed in Germany in principle
• Permitted: in designated areas or with exemptions.
• Overnight stay outside approved campsites not allowed
• Allowed: to stand in parking lot for a few hours to restore driving ability
• During this time: rest, but do not camp (leave furniture in the car).

Camping with the whole family: take the dog

FIV: If I want to take my beloved pet with me, can I go camping with the dog in Germany?

Campwerk: Yes, you can! However, you should find out in advance about the campground’s rules regarding dogs. Look for restrictions on breed and size and how many dogs you can bring. Before you leave, your dog should have received all necessary vaccinations and health checks. When vacationing with animals, you should always pay attention to order and cleanliness, keep the dog on a leash and make sure you have enough fresh water for the dog – especially when it’s warm!

These are the five steps you should follow if you want to go camping with your dog:

1. Find out about campsite rules for dogs
2. Watch out for breed, size & number restrictions
3. Attention. Do not forget vaccinations & health checks
4. Keep dog leashed & tidy at campsite
5. Pay special attention to fresh water (especially in summer)

The whole family together – go on vacation with the dog too!

Everyday life at the campsite: Between comfort & nature

FIV: Camping is all about experiencing nature to the fullest. How can I get particularly close to nature even as a camping beginner in Germany?

Campwerk: In the surroundings of your campsite you usually get in touch with nature. At the gates of the campsite you can enjoy the silence of nature, observe native species of animals and experience the magic of sunrise and sunset. Especially nice is always a bike ride in the area. Or you can find another activity to experience nature.

Please always be respectful of nature and leave no trace.

Charge cell phone? Connect refrigerator?

FIV: But I don’t want to do without all the comforts of camping. What do I have to look out for in terms of electricity connections at campsites in Germany?

Campwerk: Don’t worry, most campsites have power outlets. So you can power all your electrical appliances such as refrigerators, lights, chargers for cell phones or other electronic devices.

FIV: Can I just use them like that?

Campwerk: Unfortunately, most campgrounds want an additional fee for the use of electricity. Therefore, you should check in advance whether the campsite of your choice has electricity connections and what costs are associated with them. You can also combine this with research on other additional costs.

Cooking without electricity: gas stove & campfire in the wilderness

FIV: Electricity is all well and good, but would like to cook outdoors for the real camping experience. What is the best way to do that?

Campwerk: When camping, there’s nothing better than cooking outdoors and enjoying the smell of grilled food. Recipes and cooking tips while camping are also something you can often share with your new friends at the campsite. Cooking without electricity adds a special (taste) touch to your adventure. And it’s also very convenient if you’ve caught a campsite without electricity. For cooking without electricity, you can invest in a portable camping stove that’s lightweight, compact and reliable. Or you can just light a campfire.

FIV: Can I just start a fire like that?

Campwerk: No, because you have to pay attention to the regulations. In Germany, you are only allowed to make a campfire where it is expressly permitted, otherwise it is forbidden. This means that if you find a sign at a fireplace that allows you to make a campfire, you can cook with it in a relaxed manner. However, you are not allowed to just sit down at the nearest lake and make a fire. To make your fire anyway, try to ask your campsite owner for permission or you will unfortunately have to do without the fire.

Quick check – here’s what you need to keep in mind for bonfires:

• Only if expressly permitted (otherwise prohibited)
• Not just allowed in the wild (lake, forest, etc.)
• Search for fireplace or ask at the campsite

After the meal: sanitary facilities at the campsite

FIV: What should campers look for in the sanitary facilities (toilet, shower & Co.) at the campsite in Germany?

Campwerk: Cleanliness and hygiene are very important. You don’t want to get sick on vacation. Make sure that the sanitary facilities at the campsite are regularly cleaned and well maintained. You should also check before your trip that all the sanitary facilities you need are available at the campsite. It can also help if you look at photos beforehand to check if shower cabins and such offer you enough privacy. As mentioned before, researching beforehand about your campsite is very important!

Restful sleep in the middle of nature: this is how it works!

FIV: After we’ve showered, it’s time for bed. What tips do you have for a good night’s sleep at the campsite?

Campwerk: So that you can still experience many adventures the next day, you should also pay attention to good and comfortable sleep. For this, you should first choose a flat and quiet campsite or pitch, so that you do not lie crooked. A sleeping pad, mattress or camp bed will ensure that you lie softer. In addition, a high-quality sleeping bag and you do not freeze at night. Hopefully, you can then count sheep well.

FIV: How thick should a comfortable mattress be?

Campwerk: Of course, everyone is different. Some like to sleep harder and others prefer a soft bed. However, if you want to sleep like on a normal bed, then your sleeping surface should be at least 10 cm thick – 12 cm is even better!

FIV: Then I will definitely make sure to pack a mattress with more than 10 cm on my next camping trip. Unfortunately, that brings us to the end. Many thanks to our expert from Campwerk for the detailed interview!
