Biography
During and after completing my studies in “Prehistoric Archaeology” at the University of Zurich, I worked as an Archaeologist and Research Assistant in several cantonal offices for monument preservation and archaeology. Currently, I am doing a doctorate at the University of Basel and the Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg.
Since 2022, I have been working part-time at the Foundation of Diet and Health in Switzerland. I mainly write food descriptions and coordinate the Russian and English translations of our website.
Motivation
Nutrition is an important and complex topic. I would like to help provide our readership with well-researched information because, unfortunately, there are far too many half-truths circulating on the subject of “healthy eating.” It is always worrying how so-called “superfoods” perform worse than regional foods in terms of ingredients and ecological balance. I hope that our information can enable you to make conscious purchasing decisions more easily.
Personally, I am interested in healthy eating to feel fit and energetic in the long run. As a hobby-gardener, I am particularly enthusiastic about the topics of horticulture, processing and preserving of vegetables, and fruits. I like to prepare my home-grown vegetables into delicious dishes. I am a big fan of stews, vegetable stir-fries, and curries that are quick and easy to prepare.
