The competition “12 Faces of the Kitchen” not only highlights the important work of kitchen teams in elderly care facilities but also opens doors to tourist regions.

Regional Cuisine & Stories

Authentic recipes from care home kitchens showcase the culinary diversity of a region. They are not staged but deeply rooted in everyday culture – and that is precisely what makes them exciting for visitors.

The People Behind the Dishes

Here, the focus is not on anonymous landmarks, but on real people: kitchen teams who cook with heart and passion and, in doing so, also represent their region.

The competition demonstrates that tourism can be more than consumption: it can contribute to the development of a caring region where humanity, hospitality, and tradition go hand in hand.
