On June 29, in Sarnen, four courses were cooked fresh from the garbage to celebrate Anja Baggensto’s master’s thesis.
She called her project “Banquet without etiquette” and completed her Master’s degree in Fine Arts at the Lucerne School of Art with this work.
Just two weeks before that, Good food for you for free was still in full swing as a bachelor’s thesis for the Fine Arts course at the Zurich University of the Arts, which we reported on here.
When Anja heard about our work a month earlier, she sent us an invitation to the banquet without etiquette:
We made our way to Sarnen to enjoy a fantastic meal, fresh from the garbage.
For starters, guests could choose between apple celery asparagus and mushroom soup.
All three were delicious.
The second course was this colorful, delicious salad:
The main course was a perfectly spiced vegetable curry, which was accompanied by an opening speech by Rahel Grunder.
Rahel studies together with Anja in the same degree program.
At my request, I have just received the entire speech she gave that evening!

The wine was drunk from cut open wine bottles!
Music from the trash:
The “Güsel Orchestra” was the highlight of the evening and played for us after the first three courses, you can find a short video clip of the performance here.
(Video lasts 1 minute, from second 35 it gets really cool!)
…Afterwards we had a very tasty dessert:
Apple cake with vanilla sauce served with rhubarb compote and the finest selected berries.
This was accompanied by a Knoppers triangle & apricot lentil slices,
This little masterpiece was served on real bathroom tiles!
