The alkaline fasting menu, German and Italian cuisine in the Zollhaus
You may be wondering what you can expect from the alkaline fasting menu at the Landhotel Altes Zollhaus. All three meals are offered at fixed times. Dinner is relatively early - not after 6.30 pm - to give the stomach enough time to digest before going to bed.
You get two courses for both lunch and dinner. The starter at lunch is often a salad, because according to Alkaline fasting according to Wacker Raw vegetables are still allowed before 2 pm. In the evening, the starter is a delicious seasonal soup that varies daily and allows different vegetables to shine - whether cauliflower, beetroot or the classic tomato soup.
Dishes often mix Saxon and Italian influences
As the Zollhaus offers both Saxon and Italian-Sicilian cuisine, with chefs from both regions, the basic fasting main courses are often variations on classics from these two regions. This makes the meals particularly exciting and varied. Sometimes there is a dish with alkaline red cabbage and potatoes, sometimes kohlrabi spaghetti with homemade basil pesto, cherry tomatoes and fresh olive oil. Sometimes the two cuisines mix in a delicious way, for example in olive and potato purée.
I often have a warm alkaline muesli for breakfast, which contains sprouted oats, is made with almond milk and is served with slightly warmed fruit. The latter is amazingly tasty: especially in the cold season, the slight warmth is good, and the fruit remains crisp and fresh thanks to the gentle heating. Tigernut flakes, which taste sweet and delicious, and toasted coconut flakes are often added. We also recommend the latter at home: roasting the flakes makes them crispier, stronger and sweeter in flavour. Cinnamon is also added. Because breakfast contains more carbohydrates and natural sugars than other meals, the cinnamon can help to keep blood sugar levels more stable.
There are also more basic options on the regular menu
If you want to eat an alkaline diet at breakfast as a regular guest, you can also help yourself to the chia seeds, plant milk and fruit and vegetables on our breakfast buffet. On the regular lunch and dinner menu empfehlen wir für diejenigen, denen eine basische Ernährung wichtig ist, besonders das Navratna Korma. Dies ist ein rein vegetarisches Gemüsecurry auf Basis von Kokosmilch, verfeinert mit Kurkuma, Kreuzkümmel und anderen wärmenden Gewürzen. Kurkuma, das auch als „Gelbwurz“ bekannt ist, enthält den Wirkstoff Curcumin, der entzündungshemmende Eigenschaften hat und somit bei Entzündungen oder Krankheiten wie Rheuma und Arthritis helfen soll. Kreuzkümmel ist bekannt für seine verdauungsfördernden Eigenschaften. Er kann helfen, Blähungen und Magen-Darm-Beschwerden zu lindern.
Whether it's paprika ragout, stuffed aubergine, courgette boats, ratatouille, cabbage trio or a delicious spinach puree - let our creative chefs surprise you with the alkaline fasting menu. You can also find recipes on the Zollhaus Youtube channel, for example a Classic (alkaline) potato salad or Delicious mushroom meatballsthat you can try out at home.
Hearty Saxon food is available for those who like to eat meat
If you are travelling as an alkaline guest with a partner or friend who does not wish to follow an alkaline diet, this is not a problem. It is possible for one party to book the alkaline programme including the alkaline menu, while the second person orders from the regular menu and takes part in the full breakfast buffet. The menu includes German classics, regional specialities and "new German" creations such as sauerbraten and beef roulade, roast wild boar and venison stew, or XXL burgers and cheeseburgers with regular or sweet potato fries.
Pasta and stone oven pizza are cooked by Italian professionals
Our Italian chefs serve delicious gnocchi, various pasta dishes and the very special Pizzas from the stone oven. Pino from Palermo serves it Wednesdays to Sundays and offers classics such as Pizza Margherita or Pizza Napoli, rich pizzas such as Pizza Quattro Formaggi (with 4 types of cheese) or Pizza Diavola (with spicy salami and pepperoni), as well as - to his chagrin - the more German classic, Pizza Hawaii. We cordially invite you to enjoy these and also to drop by the pizza oven to see how Pino "beats out" the dough at high speed, tops it and skilfully manoeuvres it in the stone oven with the pusher.
