Joy and Meal

🥬#Vegan Made Easy with Joy and Meal! For Qwello's year-end celebration, the team of 10 opted for something fun, interactive, and delicious - a fully vegan cooking class led by Chef Wendy. Qwello is a Munich-based forward-thinking #startup specializing in electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across Europe. They are on a mission to make urban mobility cleaner, smarter, and more accessible, supporting a sustainable future. Set in JAM’s casual, no-frills cooking studio, the 4-h session featured a specially curated 3-course vegan menu. Chef Wendy welcomed the team with a festive Christmas Wreath Salad, swapping traditional mozzarella for handcrafted tofu balls, paired with creamy hummus and crispy bruschetta to kick things off. The participants rolled up their sleeves and got hands-on, learning to: 1. Shape and fold vegan gyoza: starting with preparing a flavorful filling, carefully folding the dumplings, pan-frying them to golden perfection, and creating a savory dipping sauce. 2. Craft a hearty vegan #ramen: chopping & cooking ingredients as the toppings, simmering a plant-based broth, and experimenting with various condiments to create a delicious base sauce. They finished by plating their ramen bowls like pros before diving in for a well-earned slurp! 3. Enjoy a refreshing dessert: the class wrapped up on a sweet note with Chilled Chia Pudding, topped with caramelized coconut sugar and fresh mango. The team not only learned new culinary skills but also discovered how achievable and satisfying a vegan menu can be. This celebration proved that good food, no matter the dietary preferences - is about creativity, passion, and a little #teamwork! At Joy and Meal, every client’s request is an opportunity to customize and deliver something exceptional, proving once again that vegan cooking is as delicious as it is doable!

We couldn’t contain our excitement when the prestigious #WorldBank booked a #teambonding session with us as part of their #teamretreat in Munich! A big, big thank you for your trust! 🙏 For those unfamiliar, The World Bank is a global institution based in Washington D.C. dedicated to reducing poverty and supporting sustainable development around the world—an inspiring mission that resonates with people from every corner of the globe. Our dynamic team of three was ready to host their 25 international enthusiastic participants, with Chef Álvaro leading the three-course cooking session with his signature charisma, Wendy Leow-Knorr as lead event manager, and Rowain as an invaluable assistant, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. The energy in the room was electric right from the start! The evening kicked off with a light and elegant welcome salad topped with pumpkin purée and Gorgonzola-stuffed cannelloni. With a set up with smaller stations to maximize hands-on engagement, here’s what was on the fully #vegetarian menu, which was aligned with the high diversity in eating preferences and requirements of the group: Starter: Arancini Siciliani. Participants dove into shaping these beloved Italian stuffed rice balls. Under chef Álvaro’s guidance, they fried them to golden perfection, mastering both technique and taste. Main Course: Italian Stuffed Crespelle took center stage. The chef demonstrated a few variations with different fillings, and the group’s energy soared as some brave participants tested their flipping skills. The stakes were high—could they match Alvaro’s flawless flip? Dessert: The creamiest Vegan Avocado Mousse. The dessert station buzzed with activity as one group puréed creamy avocados, while another melted chocolate over a bain-marie. When the ingredients finally came together, the result was a smooth, decadent mousse that had everyone swooning. Over the course of four hours, the space was filled with joy, #teamwork, and endless #laughter. It was a night of #learning, #bonding, and, of course, indulging in mouthwatering dishes. #joyandmeal #munichstartup #cooking #teambonding

Thank you Daiichi Sankyo team for an evening where every bite celebrated diversity, creativity, and a sustainable approach to urban spaces. Here’s to more events that nourish both team spirit and our shared values! 🌿🥑

What’s the best way to break the ice? A team cooking event, of course! A newly on-boarded Head of Department, who recently moved from the UK to Munich, had a brilliant idea to bring everyone together outside the office for a hands-on cooking session with chef Wendy few weeks ago. The evening kicked off with welcome snacks, and soon the action began! Twelve team members from Allianz Investor Relations rolled up their sleeves, filling the space with mouth-watering aromas as they pounded, smashed, chopped lemongrass and aromatics, marinated chicken and prepared veggie fillings for dumplings. The highlight? Perfecting dumpling-folding techniques before pan-frying them to golden perfection. The heat was on as we moved to the main course, a very aromatic Vietnamese #lemongrass chicken with rice. Followed by a refreshing chia seed pudding topped with coconut sugar and mango for dessert. The night was filled with #laughter, #learning, and #bonding - a truly unforgettable experience that strengthened #connections through food. P.S. Special shoutout to one participant, Christian, who recreated these dishes at home straight away over the weekend, wowing his family with his new skills, and engaging his kids in the cooking of the new recipes! 👏 👏 Make home-cooked meals your first food choice!
