Easter Monday carries a different kind of energy — somewhere between a long weekend, a fresh start, and the feeling that spring is finally here. This Social Butterfly Club Meetup brings that energy into a relaxed Monday evening. A space to connect, share conversations, and start the week with a bit more lightness and curiosity. 🌷 There might be a few small Easter surprises hidden around — nothing too serious, just a playful excuse to look around, smile, and maybe start a conversation with someone new. 🐣 Whether you’ve spent the weekend with people, by yourself, or somewhere in between — this is a chance to step back into the city and connect. ✨ Suggested Ice Breaker Question: “What has been a highlight of your long weekend?” Orga This meetup is donation based.

**Gesunde Snacks für Kinder – einfach & alltagstauglich** *Familien-Kochworkshop mit kurzem Vortrag* Viele Snacks für Kinder sind entweder zu süß, zu stark verarbeitet – oder einfach nicht wirklich sättigend. In diesem Workshop zeige ich, wie gesunde Snacks im Alltag wirklich funktionieren: einfach, schnell und so, dass Kinder sie gerne essen. Wir starten mit einem kurzen, praxisnahen Impuls für Eltern: → Was macht einen Snack wirklich ausgewogen? → Worauf kommt es im Alltag an (ohne komplizierte Regeln)? Anschließend gehen wir direkt in die Praxis und bereiten gemeinsam drei einfache Snacks zu, die sich gut in den Familienalltag integrieren lassen. Der Workshop ist bewusst niedrigschwellig gehalten – es geht nicht um Perfektion, sondern um umsetzbare Lösungen. **Für wen geeignet** Für Eltern, Großeltern und Familien mit Kindern – besonders für alle, die gesunde Ernährung entspannt in ihren Alltag integrieren möchten. **Organisatorisches** Mittwoch, 8. April 2026 14:30 – 16:00 Uhr Familienzentrum Die Brücke Gensinger Straße 58, 10315 Berlin **Wichtiger Hinweis zur Anmeldung** Die Teilnahme ist **nur nach vorheriger Anmeldung per E-Mail** möglich. 👉 Bitte melde dich verbindlich an unter: **bruecke@kinderdorf-berlin.de** Erst nach Bestätigung durch das Familienzentrum ist dein Platz gesichert.

In diesem Kurs bereitest Du die beliebtesten ohnehin pflanzlichen türkischen Gerichte zu – ohne Fleischersatzprodukte. Wir setzen einen Fokus auf Schnelligkeit. Wer bin ich? Ich bin ein Food Educator. Mit Erfahrung aus dem Fermentationslabor des **3-Sterne-Restaurants Noma** und einer spezialisierten Ernährungsausbildung helfe ich Dir, natürlich pflanzliche Mahlzeiten **blitzschnell** ohne geschmackliche Abstriche zuzubereiten. Dabei erhältst Du spannende Einblicke in die kulinarische und kulturelle Vielfalt der türkischen Küche, die ich durch meinen eigenen Hintergrund und jahrelange Erfahrung mit traditionellen, vollwertig veganen Rezepten authentisch vermitteln kann. Wir kochen gemeinsam: * **Faszinierender und sättigender Salat mit Walnüssen, Oliven und Granatapfelkernen** \- Reis gewürzt mit bspw\. Kardamom\, Paprikapulver\, Kreuzkümmel getoppt mit gerösteten Nüssen und getrockneten Früchten \- Suppe aus **Sellerie, Orange**, Karotte und Kartoffeln, abgeschmeckt mit Zitrone Preis: 85€ pro Person Buchung: [https://plant-based-flow.gokonfetti.com/de-de/](https://plant-based-flow.gokonfetti.com/de-de/) Alle Zutaten sind vegan und so gut wie alle sind bio. Wenn die Buchung nicht innerhalb von 48 Stunden eingeht, wird die RSVP storniert. Außerdem widmen wir uns Gerichten wie **Kumpir** (gefüllte Ofenkartoffeln) und **Lahmacun** (türkische Pizza) und entdecken gemeinsam, wie vielfältig und überraschend die türkische Küche ist. Neben diesen Klassikern **zeige ich Dir auch weniger bekannte**, aber unglaublich aromatische Gerichte, die leider oft in Vergessenheit geraten sind. Diese Gerichte spiegeln die unscheinbare Diversität der Türkei wider, wie sie im Klima, in der Landschaft und in der Ethnokultur zu finden ist. Freu Dich auf ein interaktives Kocherlebnis, bei dem wir diese Speisen nicht nur gemeinsam zubereiten, sondern sie am Ende auch in geselliger Runde genießen. ## Wie läuft der Kurs ab? Zuerst gebe ich Euch spannende Einblicke ins Thema und erkläre die Grundlagen des Türkischen Kochens. Ich gehe auf Fragen ein, die Ihr mitbringt oder die aufkommen, bevor wir direkt in den praktischen Teil übergehen. Anschließend essen wir alle zusammen.

**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch** **This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.** In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse. Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life. It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge. Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .
