Leeks in cheese — Faultline

Franziska Giffey adds leeks to her soup

For more than 20 years, the Berlin actress and singer Verena Unbehaun has been one of the most exciting psychotronic evening entertainments on the theater stages of this republic. Stylistically somewhere between Helge Schneider, Jacques Palminger and Andrea Berg, she dances on the boards that sometimes mean the world and skillfully varies her tone between anti-authority and disciplinary society - like the passive-aggressive aunt who absolutely has to force another piece of her home-baked Frankfurt wreath on you until you feel really sick.

In the feature film “Bernd – Operation Germanenkind” director Cornelius Schwalm has now found the star role for Unbehaun. She plays the title character of Bernd, a young man with a disability. The film is based on the award-winning play “Mongoflipper,” which addresses the hypocritical treatment of actors with disabilities in the media. The film shows the production of a play in which Bernd is supposed to play a character with trisomy 21. Bernd develops into the vulgar enfant terrible of the left-wing theater collective when he begins to propagate ethnic Nazi theses. The film takes place in Peenemünde, notorious for Nazi rocket research. A really annoying film for extremely annoying times.

Franziska Giffey, Berlin's Senator for Economic Affairs, opens her "Little Cookbook" with "twelve popular recipes" for every season with wholesome mousse au chocolat made from leftover chocolate Santa Clauses. Her followers on Instagram, where she has been posting her favorite recipes for a long time, could hardly believe her luck. On this occasion, the amateur chef was able to get one over on the tennis ace and governing mayor, Kai Wegner, who had previously mocked her kitchen posts: She promised to give him an autographed copy.

In the February chapter, Giffey serves us a cheese and leek soup, Black Forest cake is available in March for Dad's birthday and of course Berlin boulettes - only real with sticky pancakes - are a must. Her son contributed photos of the happy kitchen fairy, preferably from a bird's eye view. This sordid feeling of BRD 1, which Giffey creates with her little cookbook, can only be achieved in the SPD by Boris Pistorius! And he has to buy expensive military equipment day in and day out.
