In this episode, Claudia Koestler considers the 'Over Here, Over There' aspects of politeness and kindness in Germany relative to her experiences abroad. She provides three anecdotes that highlight the friendliness, or lack thereof, and unfeeling directness that make her wistfully remember how it was done 'over there'. An interesting perspective from a frequent international traveler about her countrymen and women.

Giuseppe Dell'Anno: Great British Bake-off Winner and Beyond

Our special guest has risen from relative obscurity over the past three years to be recognised by fans across a crowded New York City street. Such is the worldwide popularity of the TV show The Great British Bake-off, which he won in 2021, under stiff competition, and now is climbing the name recognition ladder, which – who knows? – may lead him to be a household name like ‘Gordon' Ramsey, ‘Jamie’ Oliver, or one of his GBB predecessors ‘Nadiya’ Hussain. I’m speaking about, of course, Giuseppe, Giuseppe Dell’Anno. If you watched the series, you may have gleaned that he is a man of many talents, which we’ll discuss, of course, but we’ll be concentrating mostly on his skills as a top-notch baker and his mastery of, and passion for, Italian cuisine and culture. And as we can attest, Giuseppe is also one of the nicest people one can meet. Avanti!
