Vivienne Wiedemer
Founder - Management - Apricus chef
For me, cooking is a language of love, a creative expression and a wonderful way to bring joy to people. That's how Apricus came about. As the founder, I am passionate about it and put my heart and soul into it. It is a real pleasure for me to see how ideas come to life and the vision of a larger team becomes reality.
Liane Dilger
Founder - Apricus cook
After a raw food cooking course in Bali in 2019, I was invited to cook for a yoga retreat in Mallorca. A short time later, together with Vivienne, the idea of Apicus was born. Happy to be able to combine my thirst for adventure with my passion for creative cooking, I now travel around Europe alone or as part of a team. What I love about my job is being inspired by food that invigorates and makes you feel good. My favorite dishes have remained - delicious, healthy raw food desserts.

Apricus Köchin
Cooking is a great passion for me, which began about six years ago when I began to delve deeper into healthy eating, yoga, and a holistic lifestyle. Over the years, I've not only gained extensive knowledge about the effects of certain foods, but also integrated many influences from various cuisines around the world. My cooking style combines healthy ingredients, aromatic spices, and herbs with a touch of creativity. At the beginning of 2025, I'll be starting part-time as a kitchen manager at the Seminarhaus Brandenburg, while simultaneously running my small online shop with authentic products from all over the world.

I've been cooking ever since my grandma first handed me a wooden spoon, with a passion for flavor, ingredients, spices, herbs, sauces—oh, and dough! From bagels to sourdough bread to cakes, I'm all here for it. There are no limits:
I love combining influences from all over the world and creating delicious and comforting dishes. After experiencing Lilli's cuisine at a retreat, I became part of the team. When I'm not in the kitchen, I work in online marketing and spend a lot of time climbing in the mountains.

For me, cooking is a feeling of pure joy. My heart beats for ripe peaches, blooming meadows, local gardens, and exciting recipes that want to tell me their stories. I'm often captivated by the intoxicating scent of wild herbs and oriental spices. For me, food nourishes not only the body but also the soul. This makes it all the more important to me to experience pleasure with all my senses, to pass it on, and to cook in harmony with the seasons. As a trained nature and wilderness educator, I enjoy gathering some ingredients myself in the surrounding forests and meadows.

Für mich ist Kochen Ausdruck meiner Kreativität und Schöpferinnenkraft. Hier kann ich mich innerhalb der Struktur von Rezepten bewegen, oder auch darüber hinauswachsen und Neues erschaffen. In der Küche bin ich oft ganz bei mir, folge meiner Intuition und finde mich manchmal sogar in einem meditativen Flow wieder.
Gutes Essen ist für mich ein Verwöhnprogramm für Körper, Geist und Seele. Es bedeutet, mir selbst und anderen etwas Gutes zu tun – Liebe in die Speisen fließen zu lassen und sie auf diese Weise weiterzugeben. Ich koche gerne mit saisonalen Zutaten und liebe den Einsatz von frischen Kräutern. Gewürze aus aller Welt dürfen nicht fehlen, doch vor allem sollen die Zutaten im Rampenlicht stehen. Außer meiner Leidenschaft fürs Kochen, der ich hier bei apricus kitchen nachgehen darf, begleite ich Frauen in Schwangerschaft, Geburt und Wochenbett als Birthkeeperin.
