ARCTIC
New Year’s Eve has this subtle way of creating the illusion that, at midnight, everything can begin again. Between lights in the sky and raised glasses, promises are whispered softly — as if the universe were truly listening, and, even if only for a few seconds, we believe the new year will arrive differently.

EGGPLANT KIBBEH
I really like this recipe, in particular. It's surprising—not only because of the flavor, but because of how everything fits together. The kibbeh is soft and creamy. The curd cheese brings a velvety touch that envelops you.

German Complex
October 28, 2025. Rio de Janeiro awoke under the weight of the deadliest police action in its history: Operation Containment. The following morning, in a city accustomed to the noise of sirens, the silence of the scenes spoke volumes. Brutal photographs of St. Luke's Square circulated around the world. Images impossible to ignore —and even harder to forget.

RIO DE JANEIRO
Anyone who knows me knows this: I’m crazy about animals and a fierce defender of them. If you want to know me in my truest essence, you won’t find who I really am in groups of friends or social events, but when I’m close to an animal.

NEW YORK
New York is one of my favorite places; after all, it's more than just a destination on the map: it's a city that pulsates in its own unique way, vibrant, full of energy, and charming in its simple details, like the cafes or the distant sound of a saxophone in the subway.

What fascinates me most about vegan cuisine is that, in the search for flavor diversity, we travel the world without ever leaving the kitchen.

NICE
Those who know me know: Nice is my second home.
But anyone who thinks that the charm of this city is limited to the hypnotic blue of the Mediterranean is mistaken. Nice is a vibrant soul, poetry in ancient facades, art on every corner, history pulsating under the sun of the French Riviera.
