Sammy Gebele, Owner, foodieSquare GmbH

“What does storykitchen mean for Falksalt? Enormously much! In the storykitchen, they don’t just cook by recipe or serve fast‑food PR. storykitchen offers so much more than support through real creativity and excellent expertise: the art of teasing the highest standards out of projects with sensitivity and a feel for the zeitgeist, thereby giving the work maximum professionalism. They take time to analyze the needs precisely and then implement them with full commitment. With storykitchen, Falksalt has found a home for its press work. Thank you, Katja!”

Ina Baader, Managing Director, Falksalt Germany

“From small beginnings we have grown the FINEST SPIRITS Festival into the (currently) second‑largest consumer event for fine spirits in Europe. The sister festival Braukunst Live! was already honored after its second event by the Bavarian Brewers’ Association and the Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Association with the industry Oscar (Goldene Bieridee 2013). Without highly professional, equally targeted and individual press work, this success would not have been possible. In this sense, storykitchen is an indispensable part of our service and value chain, highly valued by us and our exhibitors alike.”

Frank-Michael Böer, Owner, Finest Spirits Events

“storykitchen is a real gourmet chef: Take dedicated PR experts, lots of love for the products, commitment and a pinch of bite. And your five‑star PR is ready!”

Katharina Staudacher, Owner, foodloose GmbH

“We really enjoy working with storykitchen, because for years they’ve stood out for their competence, down‑to‑earth attitude and excellent contacts. And everyone at storykitchen is very likeable and creative — which simply makes working together fun!”

Kilian Holland, Managing Director, Altes Gewürzamt

“Premium Swiss Quality and storykitchen are a fantastic match. I’m glad we found each other. Such young, dynamic and customer‑oriented work — without abandoning their own line — is rare. With storykitchen you can be sure you’re in good hands as a client. There are no ruts here… Many thanks, Katja and Jenni!”

Ralf Peter, Head of Sales Germany, V‑ZUG Europe

„storykitchen have done a fantastic job for Fever-Tree since we launched just over 3 years ago. They understand how we want to build the brand and have developed strong trade and consumer PR plans to help us do so. I look forward to working with them as we take the brand to the next stage.“

Morgan Zuill, Managing Director, Global Drinks Partnership

“storykitchen and BecksCocoa — that’s a long‑standing connection. If Katja hadn’t approached me ages ago and we hadn’t started thinking our brand together, our PR would look sad today. Throughout all that time she was the only one I could blindly trust when it came to public relations, brand image and editorial — and I still gladly do. Many thanks for the success we wouldn’t have without you.”

Michael Beck, Founder, BecksCocoa

“Stories from the coconut kitchen — perfectly told by storykitchen. Culinary inspiration and ideas for moments of enjoyment — we’ve been achieving that for many years with Katja and her team. With great attention to detail, storykitchen engages with our coconut delicacies in a friendly, creative and highly competent way. We can absolutely rely on the team’s instinct and appreciation for our coconut specialties. Their knowledge of food trends, nutrition and relevant enjoyment topics — storykitchen is always right on the pulse. Tailored PR work has opened doors to exciting media and created dynamic collaborations. We wouldn’t want to miss working with storykitchen.”

Ulrike Straub, Head of Marketing, Tropicai GmbH

“Even though we’re still real greenhorns when it comes to PR, we feel wonderfully supported by storykitchen. They didn’t just handle PR for us — they also helped us sharpen our brand! Always reliable, always creative! Thank you!”

Natascha Lendzian, Founder and Managing Director, Simply Chai

“I was delighted when Katja invited me to become the new ‘Sospeso’ at storykitchen. A few months of professional press work and relationship building made a real difference.”

Birgitta Schrader, Owner, Porcelain Manufactory Birgitta Schrader

“storykitchen gave us absolutely professional support that would normally be unaffordable for such a young company — a perfect hit for any food business, because Katja and her team don’t get lost in PR but keep a sharp focus. You can see it immediately! A superb media network, and the press kit they created for us is a dream!”

Georg Lindermair, Founder and Owner, etepetete GmbH

THE CHEFS

KATJA

Email Katja SCENT:

Lily of the valley, always.

SOUND:

When Ben Becker reads Rilke’s poems — goosebumps.

UMAMI:

Right in the middle and completely absorbed. When silence gets very loud.

AND OTHERWISE: Completely at home

I’ve been cooking since I could hold a knife. Cooking and I — that’s a great love! Baking tins and I — not such close friends. The kitchen is my space — it’s home to me. Discovering, writing and inspiring — that’s my thing.

Founding storykitchen was pure fulfillment for me. Working with all the wonderful people, products and ideas simply makes me HAPPY.

Andrea

Email Andrea SCENT:

Sweet peas and a breeze of sea air!

SOUND:

Preferably live — and with plenty of bass.

UMAMI:

Yoga flow — and dough! Gnocchi, pasta, braided yeast loaf...

AND OTHERWISE: Always follow your nose

I have a very good nose — as a child I had to smell everything! It drove my mother crazy. I don’t just stick my nose everywhere, but also my fork. I find unusual, bold combinations of ingredients and aromas exciting. And every recipe or cookbook that falls into my hands I study intently. I rarely cook them one-to-one, but they are a wonderful source of inspiration!

Ella

Email to Ella SCENT:

The freshness of the forest after rain

SOUND:

The chirping of crickets in the garden on a balmy summer night

UMAMI:

Fragrant coffee, French novels, dark red wine

AND OTHERWISE: Tracking down stories, playing with words

In the kitchen the heart beats and the mind takes a deep breath. Scents and sounds here promise more than just deliciousness. Amidst chopping, sizzling, bubbling and scrubbing, we trade sparkling anecdotes, cheerful rumors, the hot news of the day — and sometimes even existential questions. In the kitchen I also find relaxation while working, because as soon as I dive into slicing vegetables or fully focus on baking, a flow state sets in. And when the result is tasty and praised, my heart leaps — just like with a well‑crafted text or a perfectly placed story about my favorite clients in the press.

Jana

Email to Jana SCENT:

Freesias — my whole life long. They smell so fresh and always remind me of my carefree childhood. I’m a December child, and back home it was hard to get these flowers for my birthday. My parents managed it every time.

SOUND:

Café del Mar music in every situation — it always makes me feel carefree.

UMAMI:

And one day I’ll just stay there. Leave everything behind — GREECE.

AND OTHERWISE:

I find it fascinating how much my culinary roots shape me. I travel a lot and love to try new things, but at the end of every trip I most look forward to a good wood‑fired bread with butter and salt.

Ines

Email to Ines SCENT:

Always follow your nose.

SOUND:

Tones in every shade — for every situation.

UMAMI:

Small portions of happiness keep you satisfied the longest.

AND OTHERWISE: Escaping the roux

Although I grew up on roux and canned peas, I started early on to bake cakes myself and cook the odd dish. A passion was born. Today my kitchen is the central place, the heart of the home — to cook, tinker, experiment and enjoy with friends and family. Because love goes through the stomach. And mishaps and moments of joy are part of it.

Laura

Email to Laura SCENT:

Waking up to the smell of pancakes on Sunday morning.

SOUND:

That almost‑silence when everyone loves the food.

UMAMI:

Knowing there’s seconds.

AND OTHERWISE: Food — so much more

I love to eat. I love to cook. Farmers’ markets. Playing with ingredients. Gathering people at one table. Helping yourself from lots of bowls. Seconds. A sausage on the hand from the butcher next door. Grandma’s apple strudel. A pinch of nutmeg in the potato‑leek soup at my favorite inn. Dad’s roast pork. New flavors in new countries. The colors. The fizz in the glass. The shapes. Trying things that seem odd. The aromas and endless combinations. The conviviality. The joy. Lingering. Food — so much more than nourishment!

Lena

Email to Lena SCENT:

Memories hanging in the air.

SOUND:

“Pata Pata” by Miriam Makeba — music is the one language that needs no translation.

UMAMI:

A morning with sunshine, coffee and cinnamon rolls.

AND OTHERWISE: Cooking = art. Art = cooking

I love comparing cooking with art. The love of detail, improvisation, sensuality and of course the colors appear in both. Inspiration is my focus — when illustrating as well as when cooking. I love trying new things and approaching challenges playfully. The best moment is when an illustration becomes a feast for the eyes and in the kitchen I can enjoy a feast for the palate.

Jeannette

Email to Jeannette SCENT:

Pine trees with a hint of sea breeze.

SOUND:

My daughter, when she describes the world through her eyes.

UMAMI:

A dinner at our favorite Italian with the whole family.

AND OTHERWISE: Design with heart and soul

“Dinner is ready when the smoke alarm goes off!” — declares the tin sign that hangs on my kitchen door, not without reason. You might assume I like to experiment, but let’s be honest: some people simply prefer eating to cooking.

And I definitely belong to that group (baking excluded — that often turns out quite well). Can you be part of storykitchen without chef skills? Sure — too many cooks spoil the broth anyway. And someone has to stage the ideas that the others work on so passionately — with just as much passion.

Ronny

Email to Ronny SCENT:

Vanilla.

SOUND:

Johann Sebastian Bach — Air (D major).

UMAMI:

Evening. Friends. Good food.

AND OTHERWISE: Tech with a pinch of spice

IT is a bit like cooking — it doesn’t always work the first time. For perfect results you need experience, the right ingredients, and composure when things get hot. Whether it’s about websites, apps, or your infrastructure — my goal is that in the end you’re satisfied and well fed.

Maren

Email to Maren SCENT:

Freshly ground coffee.

SOUND:

The chirping of birds in the morning outside my window.

UMAMI:

Feet in the sand and eyes on the sea — or in it.

AND OTHERWISE: Enjoyment makes life more beautiful.

Food can do so much more than just fill you up. As a nutritionist, I know it also nourishes our bodies. Fortunately, you can have both — healthy and truly delicious. I often experience little moments of happiness in the kitchen when I tinker with new recipes, or at the table when everyone lingers together, satisfied and full, with a glass of wine. I love the stories behind people and products. When I travel, I’m always on the lookout for unfamiliar aromas and exciting flavor combinations. The spices I bring back then soothe my wanderlust at home — at least for a while.

Kika

Email to Kika SCENT:

Scent of the sea.

SOUND:

The rustling of a gentle summer breeze.

UMAMI:

Enjoying wine at sunset on the veranda overlooking the bay.

AND OTHERWISE: Culinary journeys around the world.

Flavor experiences are what I remember most after a trip: the scent of Mediterranean herbs and spices; Thailand’s juicy fruits; Greece’s fresh seafood; Italy’s authentic pasta and pizza; éclairs — that uniquely French art of seduction… all of this is pure enjoyment and inspiration for me. I cook and bake with passion, listen to music and, when I’m in the best mood, I sometimes dance. The crowning moment is celebrating the result with family and friends.

Klaudia

Email to Klaudia SCENT:

Freshly peeled mandarins.

SOUND:

The sound of waves with the chirping of cicadas.

UMAMI:

Delicious variety served in small bowls in the middle of the table to share.

AND OTHERWISE:

“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” (V. Woolf)

For me, there is hardly anything more beautiful than enjoying fine food and drink with family and friends. These are precious moments in a hectic everyday life, when we share time, laughter, tears and stories. Every time I taste these foods and drinks, vivid memories are awakened.
