Book tip of the week: Visiting Ibiza

Mediterranean inspiration for cuisine and concept

With Visiting Ibiza, Sherin Kneifl has produced a book that is much more than just travel literature for professionals in the restaurant and hotel industry – it is a source of inspiration for culinary styles, atmospheric concepts, and storytelling with genuine local color.

The author combines editorial precision with a keen sense of authenticity. She not only guides readers to the island’s hidden gems, but also highlights the ingredients that are relevant to hosts: cultural depth, credible recommendations from locals, visual opulence, and, above all, a recipe section that can be easily adapted to Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.

Whether small plates for the aperitivo area, creative tapas variations, or light summer desserts – the recipes are clearly structured, aesthetically presented, and offer a variety of starting points for creative kitchen concepts. Particularly exciting for chefs: the dishes are easy to scale, can be interpreted with regional products, and are ideal as seasonal specials.

The work is also inspiring for hoteliers and interior-oriented hosts: the book conveys harmonious imagery and narratives that can be wonderfully translated into communication strategies, signature experiences, or event formats.
