An exciting year is coming to an end, it should definitely be celebrated properly, right? Whether it's a cozy get-together or a fancy dinner in the center of the action, the question always arises: "What's there to eat?"
It should be special, extraordinary, but also somehow “traditional”.
There are many exciting dishes, that's not the problem. But one thing should be almost perfect: the sauce. Salty, sweet, spicy, liquid or rather creamy – if the sauce is right, it will conjure up an impressive taste experience from even the simplest dish.
Speaking of: Do you already know our G2.0 Goji Acai sauce?
Green tea? Really now? Yes! Fruity-tart taste of the Far Eastern goji berry with a subtile note of Amazon açaí fruit. Sounds like music to our ears. Here is our suggestion for a nice culinary end to 2022:
