A good story is not about numbers or facts – it’s about people, feelings, and small moments that stay in our memory. For our competition “12 Faces of the Kitchen”, this means:

Real, not perfect
Write as you experience daily life. Authentic impressions are more engaging than polished descriptions.

People at the center
Show the personalities of your kitchen team – who brings humor, who brings calm, who brings energy?

Details that touch
The smell of soup, hands kneading dough, a resident’s words – small observations create vivid pictures.

Share emotions
Warmth, laughter, improvisation, even little mishaps – these are what make your story alive.

Connect culture & everyday life
Tell us about dishes, traditions, or ingredients that shape your region – and how they stay alive in your home.

A twist or surprise
Special anecdotes, creative solutions, or charming improvisations make readers curious and ensure your story is remembered.

That’s how a story is created that is not only read but also felt.

We look forward to your contributions – and to the many faces, voices, and stories that make kitchens so unique.
