Enjoying together: The new trend surrounding Hot Pot & Fondue Chinoise

Spring brings fresh ingredients, renewed energy – and a desire to enjoy meals together. What could be better than sitting around the table with family or friends, laughing and chatting together, while preparing a variety of dishes right at the table?

What exactly is a hot pot?

The tradition originates in Mongolia and China, where for centuries friends and family have gathered around a steaming pot of broth, cooking meat, fish, tofu, or vegetables to their heart's content. Completely individual, completely relaxed – and above all, together.

The ingredients are served raw, the broth simmers in the middle of the table, and everyone prepares their own dish. This creates a convivial, social atmosphere where sharing a meal and being together are paramount.

The appeal of DIY

What makes this trend so popular is the combination of individuality and sociability. Everyone can eat exactly what they want – whether vegan, vegetarian, or with meat. The variety of broths, dips, and side dishes ensures diversity and creative taste experiences.

And the best part: it's not only delicious, but also a particularly low-fat, healthy way to prepare it.
