Von der Lehre im Service zum Hoteldirektor eines Fünf-Sterne-Ressorts in Vietnam. Die Karriere von Claudio Schibli führt steil nach oben. Seit 18 Jahren lebt der Aargauer in Asien und kennt die Hotelbranche in der asiatischen Kultur durch und durch. Claudio Schibli aus Dottiken (AG) hat sich in Vietnam seinen Traum verwirklicht. Auf der Insel Phu Quoc führt der 47-Jährige seit über sechs Jahren ein Luxushotel mit über siebenhundert Zimmern. Claudio Schibli absolvierte die Hotelfachschule Belvoirpark in Zürich und wagte 2008 den Schritt nach Asien. Seither arbeitet er in der Hotellerie und lernte, dass beruflicher Erfolg in Asien nicht nur Fachwissen ist, sondern auch kulturelles Feingefühl verlangt: «Die grösste Herausforderung war, lokale Gewohnheiten und Denkweisen zu verstehen und vor allem zu respektieren.» Risotto auf Vietnamesisch Claudio Schibli steht als Hoteldirektor an vorderster Front. Oft auch in der Küche. Dort bringt er seinen Köchen die europäische Esskultur näher: «Sie sind sehr offen, neues auszuprobieren. Ich habe zwei Köche, die sich besonders für europäische Küche interessieren.»

Der Herbst ist da: Die Blätter leuchten bunt, die Tage werden kürzer und in der Küche wird's wieder richtig gemütlich. Zeit für Ofengemüse, deftige Gerichte – und natürlich den passenden Wein dazu. Deswegen präsentiert Dir Lou in dieser Folge fünf herbstliche Favoriten samt kulinarischen Begleitern: von Nebbiolo aus dem Piemont und Spätburgunder aus Deutschland über charakterstarke Weißweine von der Rhône bis hin zu edelsüßen Highlights. Perfekt für Fans von Wild, Kürbis, Zwiebelkuchen und Birnen-Tarte. Wein der Woche: Piccini Chianti Classico DOCG https://bit.ly/3VNSNoW Das toskanische Familienunternehmen Piccini wird bereits in fünfter Generation geführt und zählt heute zu den dynamischsten und innovativsten Weingütern Italiens. Unter der Leitung von Mario Piccini verbindet das Haus seit 2002 Tradition und Fortschritt: biologisch bewirtschaftete Weinberge im Herzen des Chianti Classico, verbunden mit dem Mut, klassische Stile neu zu interpretieren. Der Chianti Classico DOCG 2010 spiegelt diese Haltung eindrucksvoll wider. In der Nase zeigt er ein facettenreiches Bouquet aus balsamischen Noten, mediterranen Kräutern, grünen Tomatenstängeln, gerösteten Tomaten und reifer Kirsche. Am Gaumen überzeugt er mit einer lebendigen Säure und einer markanten Tanninstruktur, die Tiefe und Charakter verleihen. Ein Wein, der sowohl die historische Verwurzelung der Familie als auch ihren zukunftsgerichteten Innovationsgeist perfekt verkörpert. Weinlexikon: S wie Sur Lie „Sur lie“ (frz. „auf der Hefe“) bezeichnet die Lagerung eines Weins nach Beendigung der Gärung auf Voll- oder Feinhefe (Hefesatzlagerung). Durch den Hefekontakt werden u. a. Mannoproteine freigesetzt, die zusätzliche Geschmacksstoffe und Textur einbringen, einen angenehmen hefigen Ton erzeugen und den biologischen Säureabbau (BSA) unterstützen. Das Ergebnis wirkt frisch und spritzig. Wie lange der Wein auf der Hefe bleibt, entscheidet das Weingut je nach gewünschtem Stil. Genau das Richtige für Deine Weinprobe und zum Üben von Verkostungen: Das Cheers! Aromarad https://www.edeka.de/services/edeka-medien/cheers-podcast/index.jsp Lust auf den perfekten Weinmoment?

A cosy dish that tastes of warmer weather thanks to Kelly Gibney. Tinned cherry tomatoes are such a brilliant way to get that bright taste of summer all year round. Here they are the star of a simple risotto, along with melting chunks of fresh mozzarella and a splash of balsamic vinegar. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil is the lovely way to garnish each bowl.

Eine Vorlage für Benito Mussolini, der 1936 die Italiener vom Verzicht auf Pasta überzeugen musste. Warum?

Alpenschlager Fetisch oder Alpenreggea Fee ?   Bin gerade so in einer Heino-Roger Whittaker und Nino de Angelo Phase und du meine Güte, laut KI bin ich in eine  Whistling-Zone geraten. Aber keine Sorge, wenn Du plötzlich Roger Whittaker magst, läuft in deinem nichts schief, sondern möglicherweise alles rund. Nur in einer völlig anderen Umlaufbahn. Du bist in einem Nostalgie-Modus meint KI.    Vielleicht sehnst du dich unbewusst nach Ruhe, Lagerfeuer-Romantik oder nach einem Zeitsprung in eine Ära, in der Albany noch als wertvoller Ohrwurm galt.  Du bist reifer geworden. Die feine Kunst des Pfeifens, der sanfte Bariton, das Gute Laune im Angesicht des Welt-Krise-Flair, das zieht Menschen mit einer gewissen Seelenreife an.  Du brauchst Heilung - kein Scherz, Whittaker Musik wirkt fast wie musikalischer Kamillentee - da darf man ruhig eintauchen, wenn einem die Welt zu laut wird.  DU hast einen unterschwelligen Hang zu britischem Konolialromantik, sein Akzent, seine Biografie, ( geboren in Kenia ) der musikalische Globalisierung, vielleicht steckt in dir ein musikalischer Welt Reisender.    Was jetzt? Akzeptieren. Es ist okay. Schlimmer wäre du wärst Fan von Wendler und Querdenker.  = ZELEBRIEREN, lade ein paar Freunde ein : deck den Tisch British, und veranstalte einen Whittaker Abend mit Pfeif Contest. Es gibt Cidre und Cornish Pasty.  ANALYSIEREN, was genau gefällt dir, die Stimme? Die Melodie? Das Gefühl? Viellicht hilft dir das beim eigenen Musik machen?    Die melodische Erinnerungsmaschine. Lieder wie Adios Amor, Griechischer Wein funktionieren wie Duftnoten fürs Gehirn - sie triggern Erinnerungen, auch wenn man keine Demenz hat und und ja ein Auftritt im Altersheim wäre schon lange fällig ?    Ironisch gebrochen - super trocken oder tief ehrlich? Vielleicht ist das dein Humor sich  über die Jahre so verfeinert hat, dass du den Schlager gleichzeitig fühlen und parodieren kannst? Das ist keine Krankheit, das ist Kunst.    Heino - Bergkameraden, Erich - Wanderungen : Musik als Schlüssel und bestimmte Lieder oder Stimmen aktivieren im Gehirn alte Erinnerungsnetzwerke. Erich ist dein Anker, ein Freund, ein Vorbild, jemand mit dem du unbeschwert sein konntest. Der Name alleine trägt diese alter Vergangenheit in sich. Wichtig : ZULASSEN = Schatz und keine Bedrohung.    Heino = jede Stimme ist eine Marke, man hört die Menschen, nicht nur der Sound. Was man hörte, das war die echte Stimme.    Song of the DAY = Big Bad Trumpet Player - Kodiac und Mensch ist das nun ein Gedanken-Schleifer in eine total andere Stilrichtung, ich liebe diese Schleifer in meinem Leben. Und du ? Sollten wir mal wieder erotisch ?  Du meinst wir sollten uns ein Schluck Fendärboerg einschenken? Eine Schalplatte aufnehmen? Applaus und wie ich in liebe. Seelenbalsam, Vulkan, Spielboden, der Traum, weisser und schwarzer Rauch, ich der Schriften Maler und in welchem Buch von Dürrenmatt kam er vor - der Schriftenmaler der Künstler sein wollte? Nun es könnte entweder im - Der Auftrag oder Vom Beobachten des Beobachters der Beobachter sein oder eben im Buch - der Pensionierte.  Nun ich habe alle gelesen, aber?   Hab ich Euch schon erzählt, dass ich ein Buch geschrieben habe? Erzählkunst und Eigenart - Limited Edition - 22 Stück - das Buch ab 222. CHF und nun schreibe ich ein Buch über eben ja, mein erstes Buch, die Erfahrungen, Schreibfehler, wieso sind in deinem Buch die Seiten nicht nummeriert, wurde dein Buch kuratiert? Gegengelesen. Welches Kapitel ist doppelt im Buch? Papa, hier schon der erste Schreibfehler, du bist so ein Dödel. Ob es den Weg in den Literaturclub von SRF 1 schafft? Cave Fin Bec hätte ich darin nicht erwähnen sollen, ein Fehler ? Nun gut mein Song ? Postauto wurde ja auch geklaut? Ich hab ja das  Postauto Horn Melodie  nicht erfunden, also was rege ich mich auf und hier und jetzt geht es ja nicht um mich?    Was würdest Du tun für ein Schluck Fendärboerg - das hat Potenzial für einen Song? - Skurrile Satz Ideen gesucht, hier ein paar Ideen? Für ein Schluck Fendärboerg….. verkaufe meine Briefmarkensammlung Würde ich für Dich auch im Sommer den Schnee schaufeln Würd ich die as feins Gsottus chochu, oder Risotto oder dier 136 Raclette strichuuu? Lerne ich sogar richtig singen.  Fange ich wieder an Sport zu treiben? Würde ich sogar nach Zermatt reisen.  Mini Hämmlini sälber biglu, oder glettu? Der Aicha an Burkini lismu.  An niwi Fremdsprache lehru.  Sogar as paar Frankuuu sparuuuuu !! Gani får dich fittlablutt durch di Gouxa.  Lehr ich sogar Schnurrigaaa spilu ( BEAT )   Weitere Songs sind in Bearbeitung und sei dabei beim Making off, verfolge uns nun so ein bisschen täglich, denn was heute nicht geschieht ist morgen schon vergessen? Dort wo die Schneekanonen rauschen, die Investoren sich berauschen, die Amerikaner uns belauschen, die Träume in den Gipfeln oder den Lärche lauschen? Was gefällt die besser : Gipfel oder Lärche?  Nun gut ich könnte ja auch so Trainingslager - Musiklager - Camps anbieten für Kids mit Downsyndrom. Ach wieder einer dieser Gedankenschleifer.  Könnte aber auch über so 1.August nach Stresa mich in ein Palace einquartieren um dem 1.August Ansprachen zu entkommen, Feuerwerk betreffend Brandgefahr ist wohl eh vom Tisch und der Sommer hat ja doch was GUTES? Bis auf die Fliegen und Mücken. Ich und jammern?    Wie es Marie und Gunti geht? Sie schreiben - schrieben gemeinsam ein Lied. Siehe oben und nun eben noch der Refrain.  Voulez vous fendärn avec moi ce soir.  Dü muesch dini Seel a chli la fendele la, dier öppis gönnä und di chli la gaaaa.  Seel a chli la fandale la ( 2-3 mal ) u viel weniger andalez, andalez u chi vil vil me fandale, fandale, u weniger randälä ( randanlieren - neu !   So nebenbei = bei zu viel Fendant fangen sie an zu fendalisieren und bei Einschüttung von Fendärboerg entgehen wir der Aggressivität welcher der ja für den Chasselas bekannt und die aggressiven Walliser und Schlägereien und ja der Johannisberg im Fendärboerg besänftig dann wieder die Lage und die Gemüter.

Though it lacks large cities, Umbria more than makes up for it with breathtaking natural beauty, medieval towns, and a rich culinary tradition.One of Umbria's most impressive sights is the Cascata delle Marmore (Marmore Falls)—the second tallest waterfall in Europe. Nature lovers and photographers alike will be amazed by its dramatic 165-meter drop. The region is also home to Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis, one of Italy's most revered saints, and a major pilgrimage destination.Food lovers will delight in Umbria's hearty, earthy cuisine, featuring lentils, mushroom-based dishes, cured meats, and the prized black truffle (Tartufo Nero di Norcia).

Lazio as a whole has 107 two-star Michelin restaurants and 105 one-star restaurants.

The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing.

Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound.

Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

See some photos and learn more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/letizia-battaglia-groundbreaking-photojournalist-who-fearlessly-documented-the-mafia-in-her-native-sicilySardiniaSardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, is a rugged, rural paradise known for its natural beauty, deep-rooted traditions, and ancient history. The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

Typisch für die Küche im Norden Italiens ist ein Risotto. Der Reis, der in der Poebene angebaut wird, ist die Grundlage dieses Essens, das in verschiedenen Variationen auf die Teller kommt. Eine der schlichtesten davon ist der Risotto alla Milanese, auf Mailänder Art. Und eines der besten Rezepte dafür stammt aus der Feder von Giuseppe Verdi, dem heimlichen Risottokönig.

Damian Lewis grew up in North London and, after a spell in boarding school, returned to the city to study acting at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He began his career with the Royal Shakespeare Company before transitioning to television. Damian's breakout role came in Band of Brothers, which was the most expensive TV show of all-time, in 2001. His portrayal of Nicholas Brody in Homeland earned him both an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe. His latest film, The Radleys, is adapted from a book by Matt Haig and tells the story of a family of vampires. Nick mixes an Old-Fashioned for Damian while Angela prepares caponata bruschetta to start, followed by hearty pumpkin risotto, inspired by a butternut squash recipe by Martha Collison. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Gabriel Meffre Côte du Rhône. Damian Lewis is the perfect dinner-guest; he arrives hungry and armed with excellent anecdotes. Our trio cover how to cook octopus, what Tom Hanks is like on set and where Damian keeps his awards.
