life and work

After graduating from high school, Heinzelmann did an apprenticeship as a chef in the Steigenberger park restaurant in Berlin , which was intended as an internship to study food technology. Instead of studying, she went into gastronomy “because I loved cooking.” First she worked in Berlin, and later she ran her own hotel with a restaurant on Lake Constance. This was followed by a one-year sommelier course at the hotel management school in Heidelberg . In the mid-1990s she returned to Berlin, married the British wine expert Stuart Pigott and translated his books into German. At the request of Manfred Kriener she wrote in 1999 her first text to the article Aldi salmon and plastic Gouda for the daily newspaper in Berlin.

From 1994 Heinzelmann worked in a French wine and cheese shop in Berlin, which she built up with the owner for five years. Then she started writing on culinary topics, including for Slow Food magazine . 2001 started her own business as a freelance gastronomy and wine writer. Since founding the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung (FAS) she has been writing culinary columns, travel reports and recipes there. The first article appeared in October 2001 under the title From the stomach of a kid , in September 2003 she participated as a lecturer at the Oxford Symposium on Food & Cookery and in 2015/16 she participated in the editing of The Oxford Companion to Cheese .

In 2010 she published her contributions to the FAS as a book. She continues to write for the Hamburg-based gastronomy magazine Effilee , the Allgemeine Hotel- und Gastronomie-Zeitung , Slow Food, Vinum , Fine and the American magazines Gastronomica , Saveur and Culture, the word on cheese .
