Culinary delight with a purpose
H-Hotels.com held its Löffelparade tasting event once again in Germany – €14,500 was raised for a good cause
Bad Arolsen, 04 April 2023 – Bite-sized delicacies: in late March 2023, H-Hotels.com once again invited guests to a special Löffelparade tasting event at the HYPERION hotels in Munich, Dresden and, for the first time, Leipzig. An H-Hotels.com in-house initiative, the event series offers culinary delights of the highest quality while supporting a number of charity projects. Providing the invited guests with ‘mouthfuls of haute cuisine & chat’, top chefs Jörg Thiele, Hansjörg Betz and Christoph Vejdovsky served a surprise menu in a class of its own.
The three are all well-known from SAT.1’s popular show The Taste. Nine artfully arranged courses were served as canapés on spoons. The exclusive corporate partners for all three events were MEISSEN, Lindt & Sprüngli, Bruno Söhnle GmbH Uhren Atelier Glashütte Sachsen. The evening was hosted by Claudia Finger-Erben, who, among other things, is a TV and radio presenter for Bayerischer Rundfunk. As with every Löffelparade, proceeds from the raffle, which offered stays at the organisers’ hotels from Budapest to Hamburg and Paris, go to support a selected charity project. ‘We’re delighted to have been able to resume this special series of events after 2020 and to continue to support a range of charities. We were thrilled by the enthusiastic participation and generosity of our guests, donating a total of €14,500 across the three cities,’ commented Uwe Krohn, Senior Vice President Sales at H-Hotels GmbH. Guests were also able to take a recipe book home with them, which is sure to be a rich source of inspiration.
