Digging into Berlin’s supper clubs
… Newcomer Sophiencafé also plans to use special locations to help create a unique experience. A French-trained pastry chef, Astrid Sophie Fleisch needed to step away from the professional culinary life for health reasons. Although she is now studying law, she wanted to keep food in her life. Her plan is to throw semi-regular tea parties, and she has already hosted a few including a garden tea party in a Wedding park, where she brought a lavish rug for guests to sit on and used fine china tea service.
While sipping the Chai tea she served in her Wedding apartment – just slightly sweet, earthy, and filled with spice, and nibbling on a caramel tart – I could imagine how special Fleisch’s tea parties are. Her upcoming September event pulls on her experiences travelling in India and working with Indian flavors and recipes. I can’t wait to attend.
