POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Apparently, if the apocalypse is coming and we have to stock up on food that will last us a while, most of us don’t even know how to preserve a cucumber.

At least that was one of our discoveries at the salon we hosted on Friday: around 80% of the people in the room grew up in families that preserved food. Only around 5% knew how to do it themselves.

But let me go back to how we got here.

In January, on my birthday, my wonderful friend Ellie gifted me a series of jars of pickles, hoping one would finally resonate with my taste buds. I’d been complaining that I couldn’t find the perfect pickle in Vienna. Something that reminded me of my grandmother’s pickles, which, of course, is quite a lot to ask of a pickle.

As we tasted them, we started wondering: what actually makes the perfect pickle perfect? Is it the crunch? The saltiness? What is it?

Over the next weeks and months, the conversation kept coming back. Apparently, everyone was obsessing over pickles. So we thought, we should probably get people together and talk about this.

And somewhere in the planning, our search for the perfect pickle became a salon about the art of preservation.

On Friday, artist and chef @mafia_tabak, alongside a hunter Felix Drimmel, joined us to explore the history of preservation, how hunting has shaped the way we preserve food, and the role preservation plays in professional cooking. And, of course, to tell us what they think makes the perfect pickle.

I could not imagine a better partner to host this with than my gorgeous friend Ellie @hostedbyellie: an incredible creative director, a talented chef, and an absolute queen, for pouring so much love into this evening.

And a big thank you to our partner for the evening, @gurkerl_at, for helping us curate a very, very briny experience.

As for our survival instincts, we agreed there’s room for improvement.

Crazy to think I bought a random vintage table cloth in Puglia on the trip that Felix proposed, and a year later I wore it as the most stunning custom Dress to our Wedding. Inspired by a Dirndl, with a lot of creativity and love by @kettelatelier

Forever grateful to have this piece.

POV: you found a catering team crazy enough to use all your recipes and let you into the kitchen during your own wedding. Thank you @studio67_event_location !!

Some brides relax on their wedding day. I was apparently doing quality control in Vintage Vera Wang - this was actually my most relaxed five minutes of the day.

There was cake, obviously.

Ellie’s wedding morning at the Grand Hotel Vienna, with a little sprinkle of Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette and a whole lot of “I Want Candy”. A childhood dream that became reality.

Guess the most important fitcheck ever.

Planning & Concept: @hostedbyellie

Still can’t believe I found my dream vintage Vera Wang on eBay. Altered into everything I wanted and more with @atelier_dax, with Empress Sisi & Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette somewhere in the mix. Truly the dress of my dreams. Hair by my one & only @kamila_pruszek

And the actually insane bouquet by @dollsblumen & @thegreenfox42 — I mean LOOK AT IT.
