Frau Knam pastry shop opens in Milan – Italian Cuisine


A new pastry shop opens in Milan: from an idea by Alessandra Mion, wife of Ernst Knam, a design shop for small, beautiful and good sweets

We are looking forward to October 2, the day it will open to the public Frau Knam, the new pastry born from a dream of Alessandra Mion and Ernst Knam, after a fine-tuning, side by side with her husband and teacher Ernst Knam, during the lockdown.

During the presentation of her project, Alessandra talked about her passion for choux pastry and cream puffs: "It's my favorite: that's why I thought of concentrating Frau Knam's proposal (this is the name of his patisserie and the brand, ed) on an assortment of cream puffs: 24 different types, of which 18 sweet and 6 savory. A few examples? Among the desserts, the classic vanilla and zabaglione, among the salty Prague ham with mustard, gorgonzola with apple, salmon with celery … "

I, who have seen them and tasted them in preview, can confirm the high level both aesthetic and gastronomic: admire the appearance of the cream puffs in the photos, which stand out from each other thanks to the small colored "button" on the top. A joy to imagine them assorted in a tray… As well as the half-sphere chocolates, or the small cannoncini.

Cakes for four people, biscuits, chocolate bars, spoon desserts (single portions in small glasses) and other brand products are also waiting for you in the shop. Frau Knam, as well as a selection of honeys, hazelnuts, rice, herbal teas, infusions, candies, and various items for the kitchen, including the very useful sticks to roll out the pastry in a uniform thin layer.

The shop was created with the support of the designer Matteo Bruschi, to give even greater prominence to the pastry products on display, and is located right in front of the pastry shop of Ernst Knam, in via Anfossi.

In Sweden he opens a restaurant with only one table for one person – Italian Cuisine

In Sweden he opens a restaurant with only one table for one person


An idea born in full coronavirus emergency. The "locale" has only one covered area arranged in the middle of a field to host one customer at a time. And would you go there?

Typically al restaurant you go to make agastronomic experience, or not to cook, to try something different from the home kitchen, but also, and above all, to spend a different lunch or dinner, in couple or in company. But who knows, once theCovid-19 emergency, what will remain of this last convivial aspect, between tables that apparently cannot accommodate more than two people, which will have to be spaced or even separated by Plexiglas barriers.

In Sweden the restaurant with a table and chair for one customer at a time

Someone has already tried to imagine the after and invented a new formula. A pair of Swedish, Rasmus Persson (expert chef) and Linda Karlsson, will inaugurate a "local" called on May 10th Bord för en (or "table for one") and that consists in one table and one chair, accommodated in the middle of a field in the summer of a Swedish village. The idea of ​​the two is to create the first restaurant Covid-19 free, made completely safe through the maximum of social distance, or loneliness. No other customers, no waitresses. The guest will reach the table by himself thanks to the indications provided above, while the dishes will be served in a picnic basket through a rope connected to the kitchen window. In this way there will be no contact between the guest and the couple who will also take care of wash the dishes twice and of sanitize table and chair well for the next customer.

Seasonal cuisine, inner dialogue and free account

The menu will be composed of three courses, three vegetarian dishes based on seasonality such as the Swedish potato omelette, seaweed cream and caviar, the mashed yellow carrots and ginger, sweet potato croquettes and hazelnut butter and the blueberry pie with gin, frozen buttermilk and beet sugar . The sense of this approach, in the couple's intentions, is to give a moment of pleasantness in which to focus only on food, on oneself and on inner dialogue, away from pc, phone, tv and social distractions. And the amount of the bill is decided by the guest, because the goal "is certainly not to get rich with a restaurant from a table", but to show solidarity towards those who have found themselves in financial difficulties or have lost their jobs due emergency. Reservations are already open!
