Leipzig Jazz Band After a whirlwind concert tour starting in Kansas City last Wednesday, the Leipzig Jazz Band arrived in St. Louis on Sunday, April 21 and immediately whisked off to Mascoutah Illinois to enjoy the sounds of the Northwinds Concert Band and dinner at the Römertopf. On Monday morning, April 22, they held a workshop at Lindbergh High School, traveled up the Arch and did some shopping and gave a concert Monday night at the Tavern of Fine Arts. They held another workshop at Ft. Zumwalt on Tuesday morning and left quickly for the airport to fly back to Germany. And we thought only Americans traveled liked this. Thanks to the wonderful sounds we all enjoyed the last few days and to our host families who played an integral part in making this happen.

German Sister Cities Program Gives St. Louis Dibs on an Obama Announcement (Jun 8, 2011) Most people probably recognize the German city Stuttgart (pronounced "Shtoot-gart," we looked it up) as the headquarters for Mercedes-Benz and Porsche (it's on the logo).

About our "chef" Stephanie Walter: Stephanie Anna Walter was born in the sixties in Duderstadt, Germany. At the tender age of four, she was already peeking into the cooking pots of her grandmother Hedwig, who opened and operated a restaurant and B&B in the country. Today Stephanie’s parents continue to successfully operate the restaurant and B&B in Brochthausen near Duderstadt, in Germany. After graduating from high school Stephanie did not immediately study the art of cooking but completed her apprenticeship in banking in Göttingen, Germany, where she continued to work until her move to Monterrey, Mexico, with husband Harald and baby Maximilian. During her time in Göttingen, Stephanie and her friend Julia started a cooking club with some colleagues for a once-a-month Friday night “kitchen encounter”. The challenge: to create a 5-course menu from scratch. Today Stephanie and her family live in St. Louis, where she continues to enjoy cooking for family, friends, and occasionally for you! Her cooking philosophy: Live, Love and Eat! 22nd Annual Winter Ball Karneval (February 7, 2009) Sheraton Westport, Lakeside Chalet
