    Traditional cuisine in eastern Germany: family man Heiko presents his favourite recipes

    Traditional cuisine in eastern Germany: family man Heiko presents his favourite recipes
    Heiko is a family man in the German province of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, caring for two children and his wife. He speaks about his relationship to cooking, which first of all means for him: getting his family fed. Heiko prefers "Hausmannskost" (traditional German cuisine), not least the infamous "Senfeier" (eggs in mustard sauce) which is particularly highly regarded in the eastern parts of Germany. The recipe is presented in detail so that after listing you should be able to cook this German traditional meal yourself. Another of Heiko’s favourites is deer goulash, and he gives hints for how to prepare this dish deliciously. Cursorily also topics such as gummy bears and bake rolls in the GDR (socialist East-Germany) are discussed. Language of this episode: German. Learners of German will get in contact with rare but valuable words of everyday language such also "Mäkelpott" and "Mäuler stopfen" and specialist terminology such as "Geschmacksträger" and "gehaltvoll" and "ziehen lassen". Taste of Harmony is an cooperation project of six adult education organistions from six European countries. The project was funded 2020-2022 through the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.

    Quotes:
    “If you’re opening up for yourself, you open up yourself, and you tap into your fullest potential.”

    “I will always embrace emotions, no matter what emotions they are.”

    “Transformation, requires more than just letting go of the so-called status quo.”

    Episode Highlights:
    When Uwe lost his family members one by one, he felt like he had lost everything, and suicidal thoughts kicked in. He vividly recalls the day he was ready to end his life. One night during winter, he was standing on the edge ready to let go. Just before he jumped off, he felt something inside him that held him from jumping off the bridge, and it saved his life.

    In this episode, we get to hear Uwe’s story of transformation from the young boy who wanted to jump off a bridge to the executive coach he is today.

    Childhood Incidents:
    Having experienced sexual abuse as a child, Uwe found it hard to trust, which became a stumbling block that led him to the edge.

    Cultural Influences:
    Uwe has experienced both the German and Italian cultures. The German culture makes him thorough, while the Italian culture gives him room to let loose. Growing up in Italy made Uwe love music, and he wanted to find out how it works. He was a deejay then and through music, he discovered his superpower.

    Temperaments and Personality:
    As a child, Uwe was quiet and reserved. When he became a teen, he became outgoing. He was always open to trying new things, but unfortunately, he didn’t celebrate the endings. There was a time he tried something new, and he ended up losing everything. His recovery journey began at 28 and his life took a different turn for the better.

    Later in life, one of his partners suggested they do a workshop on systemic business design aimed at helping people shift the way they think about thinking and doing business. Uwe’s partner chose to do the workshop with him because he believed Uwe was a systemic thinker. When Uwe discovered this, it brought about a massive shift for him. It opened doors for him.

    Cultural Epiphanies:
    In high school, Uwe and his classmates travelled to Berlin. At that time, Berlin was still divided. They had to go through many processes to get to East Berlin. Uwe felt the oppression of autocracy and what it means by visiting Berlin for just one day.

    Soapbox Moment:
    If you’re feeling disconnected from your partner, you’re arguing with each other even though you don’t intend to, or you’re experiencing a lack of passion, and everything feels routine and mundane, Uwe can help you with that. He has a unique approach to dealing with life partners. To work with Uwe, reach out to him and book a chat or go to one of the live demonstrations that he runs monthly.

    Tagline: Don’t be part of the problem. Let it go and be part of the solution by letting in.

    Rereading East Germany

    Rereading East Germany
    A Book at Lunchtime discussion tracing the cultural legacy of the GDR with Karen Leeder, Dennis Tate, Sara Jones, Marc Silberman and Tom Smith 'Rereading East Germany: Literature and Film in the GDR' is the first volume to address the culture of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) as a historical entity, but also to trace the afterlife of East Germany in the decades since the fall of the Berlin Wall. It provides a 'rereading' of East Germany and its legacy as a cultural phenomenon free from the prejudices that prevailed while it existed. The editor of the volume Karen Leeder (Professor of Modern German Literature, University of Oxford) discusses these issues with Dennis Tate (Professor of German Studies, University of Bath), Sara Jones (Senior Birmingham Fellow, University of Birmingham) and Marc Silberman (Professor of German, University of Wisconsin-Madison). The discussion is chaired by Tom Smith (Lecturer in German, University of Oxford).
