At the table with Lucie - Kitchen Hacks - Kale
Its curly leaves once warmed the people of the north, but today kale is enjoying worldwide success and combines down-to-earth tradition with a modern lifestyle. As a vitamin wonder, trendy vegetable, or culinary inspiration, hardly any other cabbage plant has undergone such an image transformation. In the Oldenburg region, Peter Kluin cultivates the “king of cabbages” according to traditional methods – its characteristic aroma only develops after the first frost. Lucie Fischer-Chapalain demonstrates the versatility of this green power food: she transforms the curly leaves into crispy chips, an energy-rich smoothie, and a quiche with velvety kale cream. What used to be served only cooked is now a culinary all-rounder – tradition meets innovation.
