Antonia Fiedler
No matter what's in the fridge: Antonia Luca Fiedler, born in 1999 in Winsen an der Luhe, transforms it into a delicious menu. She learned graphic design at the Bauer Verlag and has also worked for radio and television: she appeared on camera for a margarine test on ZDF Berlin, hosted for Hitradio Namibia, and recorded O-Tones for Rock Antenne Hamburg. For Antonia, it's all about doing it yourself – whether it's youth work at the shooting club or volunteering at a fair trade store. She studied Media Management and Journalism in Wilhelmshaven.
