Always In Great Taste.

“I was never a revolutionary, but I was a good frame maker and that became the essence of STEPPER frames.”

A temptation of career and love.

Over time my hobby (cooking) overlapped with my business.

Outdoor cooking in Finland

From the beginning I had invited friends and colleagues to a meal from time to time, where I prepared delicious 4 to 5-course menus.

I have also integrated a lot of European food to the Chinese and have had fantastic times and enormous fun.

We even introduced our Chinese friends into wine-drinking in a very successful way! This is important as normally they always drink from the bottom up but with wine you must sip it. They have been trained now to drink wine in the decent way.

The flavour of success.

Some year ago we began the development of STEPPER wines, and now we produce thousands of bottles of labelled STEPPER wines. And we started inviting customers to this “meetings” as well.

When the factory was rebuilt in 2015, they even built in a complete kitchen for me, so I can easily make food for 30 or 40 people now.

“In my legacy I would like to be thought of as a little contributor to the modern frame-making. I want to be remembered as a universal person and participate in life again and again with some of my recipes.”
