72 hours exploring London’s Foodie scene
London’s food scene is more exciting—and varied—than ever.
Stroll through London’s foodie scene from Foodzai on Vimeo.
Once upon a time, eating out was simple and let’s say it as it is: it was kind of boring. There were restaurants where you’d sit, eat, drink and pay. And there were dinner parties hosted by friends, where you’d bring a bottle of wine and talk about politics,...

What happens when we decide to do something...
Ask not what awesome food and awesome people can do for you, ask what you can do for awesome food and awesome people.
Do you remember when John F.Kennedy said this? Well, you’re right. He actually never said it and yup we just made it up. But this fake quote ended inspiring us to do something crazy and fun.

Lessons from our Seedcamp Experience
Pitch Perfection comes with a lot of (public) trial and error
On the first day of Seedcamp Lisbon we spent the entire afternoon rehearsing our pitches. We were separated into two groups, half with Carlos and the other half with Philipp, in a very open and relaxed environment.

Pairing awesome music with awesome food: Key Lime...
Balmorhea, pronounced Bal-moor-ay,is a Post-rock/modern classical band from Austin, Texas. On Stranger, their intriguing new album to be launched in October, the band moves beyond the Texas soundscapes of their early days and shifts their focus from the cosmic sounds that made them famous to begin exporing the celestial resonance of nature and life.

Behind the Scenes at Foodzai: what our Co-Founders...
The frist Stir Up! was just 2 days away and I needed a summer dessert! We had challenged every participant to take a “Summer Dessert” to share with the other foodies, so I had to live up to the challenge and take one myself.
I wanted something sweet, and fresh, just like a cool lemonade in a hot Summer afternoon. And then, the idea of making a Lime Pie popped into my mind!
