Munich: Summer tips from experts in the heat – Munich

Airy and easy to care for

Heidi Himpelmann, owner of the “Bazaar Noir” in Preysingstrasse: “I definitely recommend clothes made of muslin for the holidays. In the past, the fabric was actually only used for babies – as a burp cloth. It has now become an absolute favorite fabric, especially with women you see a lot of muslin this summer. The fabric exists 100 percent cotton. It’s lightly woven and therefore air-permeable, but still not see-through. And thanks to its crinkled look, it’s also very easy to care for: clothes made of muslin don’t have to be ironed, so nothing creases in your suitcase. You don’t sweat, the Things can be washed at 60 degrees and just thrown in the dryer. Can be worn as a dress, blouse, skirt, pants, jumpsuit and even as a scarf.” ask

A special gazpacho

Star chef Sigi Schelling from the Werneckhof: “For the insane heat we’re going through right now, I recommend a gazpacho on cucumber mousse. It’s an easy dish that anyone can make quickly and my guests love it too. For about four servings of gazpacho, I need three peeled, larger tomatoes, one yellow and one red pepper – I peel off the skin here too. I mix everything together and season the mass with a little chili, sugar, salt and tomato vinegar. If there is not enough liquid, I add a little more tomato juice. Until the next day, the soup has to cool on ice, then you can season again.For the cucumber mousse, I peel two cucumbers so that only a little green remains.In the next step, the cucumbers are deseeded and mixed with a small amount of sour cream or yoghurt mixed. Again, season with salt and pepper.When I have half a liter of liquid, I add three sheets of gelatine to the mixed cucumbers and set the whole thing aside cold until the mousse has set. Finally, fill the glasses with the cold gazpacho on top of the cucumber mousse. The soup tastes particularly good with basil as a topping and a chilli cracker.” strom

The focus of the historical thriller is the Schwabing Bohème, to which both the murder victims and the possible perpetrators belong. The book invites immerse yourself in this time and guess, it is beautifully and excitingly written and also very humorous. You sink into it while reading and can hardly put it down. With almost 400 pages, the book is made for holidays. Recommended for children aged ten and over I read James Ponti’s “City Spies” series. The first book is called “Dangerous Contracts”. A secret organization saves five teenagers from prison and uses them as teenage agents for special cases. This book definitely gives goosebumps on a hot day.” call

Intoxicating music

Markus Kesenheimer, deputy head of department in the pop and jazz department at Ludwig Beck: “My favorite of the summer is ‘Ron Trent Presents Warm: What Do The Stars Say To You’. The album grooves and gets you in a really good mood. You can listen to it as early as nine in the morning to get you going. This deep house But music also fits in the evening at a barbecue or when you want to switch off.You can simply play through the album, but it always makes you sit up and take notice with exciting jazz fusion interludes.Ron Trent comes from Chicago and has been making really good music for a club for 30 years -Audience. This time he got a lot of guest musicians. This made his new album so versatile and yet it seems to be made of one piece. I particularly like track number 3. It’s rhythmically really catchy and the hip trio Khruangbin ensures exoticism. The eighth piece with the French jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty brings beautiful touching moments. You get goosebumps despite the heat.” boy

Alternative to the spray

Nathalie Tran, bartender at Ory Bar at Mandarin Oriental: “In the Ory Bar we have a drink especially for the summer that is fruity and sparkling and doesn’t contain too much alcohol: the Strawberry Fields. For this we fill about 4 cl of Grapefruit Pampelle – a bitter liqueur – in a wine glass with ice cubes and fill it with strawberries -Mint Kombucha and Champagne. If you prefer it non-alcoholic, you can use rhubarb juice and some fresh lime. We found Strawberry Fields to be a great, healthier alternative to the classic Aperol Spritz. Healthy because Strawberry Mint Kombucha is a fermented tea product – therefore very well tolerated by the gastrointestinal tract. The drink is very well received by our guests and really tastes good by all genders. Because it is refreshing and light, not too sweet or too bitter.” strom

Short break after work

Katharina Horn, spokeswoman for the Radentscheid Alliance: “Actually, I’m a city cyclist, and when I go on long tours, they’re real vacation rides. In between, I prefer a short half-day trip. That’s why I like to cycle to the Deininger Weiher. That may sound trivial, but it’s something “Whatever you can do, even after work. I need, quite comfortably, maybe one to two hours. I really like the way to the pond, through the Perlacher and Grünwalder forest. The forest looks different every time, no matter what it’s hot, it’s really pleasant there. I start in Obergiesing, from there I’m straight into the forest, and then I avoid the straight race track on the asphalt road south to the Kugleralm. I much prefer to ride on the forest paths. At the beginning It’s almost completely flat, only on the way back there is a steep incline. I don’t mind because I have an e-bike, I’m happy about such an incline. If I’m thirsty, I sweep on the way I like to come to the Forsthaus Wörnbrunn, but above all I like to discover new things. That’s why I always take a different route, sometimes I help myself with Komoot (a route planner, editor’s note). At the Deininger Weiher there is a nice restaurant with a small beer garden right on the water.” gotka

A squeaky game

Wolfgang Petzold, social worker and manager of the play and education center in Sendling: “A great game for groups is chicken golf. You play it in two teams, in the garden, in the park or in the forest. The great thing about the game is that you design it yourself: everyone needs a wooden stick, for example a broomstick, which sharpened at one end. You also need two squeaky plastic chickens, which you can buy as dog toys. Two old stuffed animals, one for each team, but that’s okay too. And it needs a goal, like an openable sack for garden waste. The poles you use it like a bat, you have the chicken instead of a ball.The group agrees on a parcours: through the branch fork, over the bush, past the tree to the left, etc. At the start, the chicken lies on the ground, the player lifts it with the Put on the pole, and when it’s in the air, the other players can keep hitting it with their poles, making it fly further.The aim is to get the chicken into the sack with as few touches as possible.The game is perfect for the So Always because you’re moving, you’re in the fresh air, and it’s really fun.” call
