Tell us a little bit about yourself. How would you like to introduce yourself?
My Name is Malena Charlotte, I am turning 30 this year and I was born in a small village in the north of Germany. I spend the last 10 years traveling, studying and working mostly in gastronomy and in museums. After six years living between Leipzig and Menorca I moved here to Menorca full time to open in close future a Design Shop/cafeteria with my Girlfriend.
Where do you currently live, and where would you say your home is?
Currently I am living in Ciutadella de Menorca and I have to say that it actually feels a little bit like home already. But home can be also Leipzig, where I lived the last years in Germany, home can be the green garden of my parents and mostly home is where I am with friends, family and my girlfriend.
What does a typical workday and a day off look like for you?
I haven’t had a typical workday in quite a while because I am working on so many different projects but what is typical that I am waking up and the first thing I do is heating up some water for a tea. I just need my tea to function. And then I am doing some work in the kitchen, some on the computer, mostly I am going to the supermarket once the day and a big goal is to see the Sea once the day but unfortunately this is not always happening.
So a day off is starting in the same way but then I take my time maybe for some yoga, cuddles in bed and going to the market, drinking a coffee or a vermouth and for sure going to a beach, doing a bike ride or just spending time on our rooftop terrace reading a book.
How did cooking become your primary tool of expression?
Cooking has so many different sides, I mean we need food to live but food can be also a source of social interactions. I love to bake and cook for other people and to enjoy the time together, eating, drinking and talking. Cooking can be calming, exiting and funny. It can be a expression of feelings too. I’m always asking myself in what mood I am. Do I need a warm soup, a fresh salad or a sweet cake?
