WS memories Improv-cooking /Closer 14.06.2025

Thank you all for joining yesterday's vegan cooking event.

This time we tried a bit of a sensitive event by playing one round of a deep conversation game for the first time in this group's history.

The game is called "Closer"

Thank you Jing, for letting us experience this session！

I hope everybody had a meaningful time💚

Closer is a psychological game that is supposed to spark open and fearless conversations. After you answer the question on your card, people will ask you questions to dig more deeply about your answer.

It works very similar to group therapy.

This meeting was combined with improv-cooking this time.

(I forgot to take a picture of the vegetables!)

But basically each member brought 2 vegetables to join the event and

then planned a dinner together.

Thanks to everybody's active contribution We ended up to make 6 beautiful different dishes  

We didn't have any plan for this menu so I don't have the exact the same recipe for all of these dishes. But if you want to make something similar later you can check out the recipes below.

Grilled and steamed fennel (oil/basil/sugar/soy sauce/S&P/Garlic)Swiss chard

(Pasta salad with basil & lemon pesto )

Togu eggplant

Summer rolls ( we added pickled fennel,Swiss chard )

I didn't find any mushroom cream pasta recipe in my blog but

Isabell made this delicious mixed mushroom pasta with soy milk ,garlic, starch, lemon ,Swiss chard etc.

Happy Sunday 😚
