Cooking

Let‘s kick off our first food science Dinnerparty with a swiss classic: Capunz! We‘ll do a traditional version and then look at different scientific techniques to translate the recipe into a delicious vegan dish. Participation requires a short vibe check by me (phone or text), to avoid inviting debate-bros, MLM-people, cryptospammers and right-wingers.

Join us for an interactive Cooking Experience – an exciting, hands-on event where we explore agile collaboration while creating and enjoying a three-course gourmet meal together. This event is ideal for international Meetup members who enjoy learning by doing, are curious about agile teamwork, and like the idea of turning a kitchen into a playful “scrum space”. No prior agile or cooking experience is required—just a willingness to collaborate, experiment and have fun. **What to expect** Together with a professional agile coach and experienced cook, you will form a **cross-functional** kitchen team and experience three “iterations”: * Appetizer * Main course * Dessert Before each course, we briefly align on what we want to create (including dietary needs such as gluten-free, vegetarian, allergies, etc.), decide who takes which role (chopping, cooking, seasoning, serving, evaluating, cleaning up), then cook, eat and reflect together in a short retrospective. You do not need to be an experienced cook – there are meaningful roles for everyone. **Event details** * Date and time: Saturday, 28 March 2026, 14:30–approx. 19:30 * Duration: Approx. 5 hours, including arrival, briefing, preparation, cooking, serving, eating, reflection and clean‑up. * Cost per person: CHF 49 (all inclusive: coaching, full 3‑course menu, non-alcoholic drinks; alcoholic beverages available at additional cost). * **MUST BE PREPAID** to confirm your spot. IBAN: CH 79 0028 7287 8357 0041 L Name: Adina and Bert van Kampen * Group size: Minimum 7 participants, ideal up to around 25 people so everyone can have an active role. **Location and access** The event takes place in a professional kitchen at Restaurant Krone in Randegg (DE), just across the border from Schaffhausen, in a cosy village setting Address: Otto-Dix-Str. 21, D–78244 Gottmadingen-Randegg * By car: Easily accessible from Winterthur and the wider region; parking available nearby. * By train and bus: Take the train to Schaffhausen, then a regional bus B25 towards Randegg; the bus stop is directly in front of the restaurant (Randegg-Ortsmitte), with regular Saturday connections.

**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. . . .
