Hi everyone, we are Laura Muthesius & Nora Eisermann, a photographer and a stylist, born and based in Berlin.

More than ten years ago we started this food blog Our Food Stories.
Laura had just finished her studies in photography and Nora was a fashion designer during that time. We both knew we wanted to work for clients in the food industry and started our blog and Instagram @_foodstories_ as kind of our portfolio and also to share gluten-free recipes, which at that time were a rare find. As Laura had serval food allergies this was really a passion of our’s – inventing recipes together that didn’t felt restrictive even though there were tons of restrictions. A challenge we both really enjoyed and which led to a career in food styling and food photography.
Food and recipes still remain one of our passions but after such a long time a lot of things have evolved and next to recipes we also love to share interior and renovation content at our new Substack Inviting Space.

Our studio was located in the countryside for a very long period, then we moved to our first own studio in Berlin and in 2020 we decided to go back to the countryside and shared the whole kitchen renovation here.
In 2025 we finished the renovations of our new studio and are hosting workshops and pop up events here regularly – you can also book our studio for your own purposes. Have a look here.

Nature is what inspires us most  – no matter if it’s for food-  interior- or renovation-projects. The calming tones of a rye field in summer, apple and pear trees that can inspire a recipe or just the wonderful vegetable garden of our neighbors – nature has so many gifts to offer and we admire it daily.  Almost all the food, that we use for our recipes and in our daily life is from an organic shop, from our garden or from the local farmers market.

As we love to share our food with other people, family and friends and are excited to photograph dinner tables at the most remote spots we started the series Dinner Stories.

We hope you enjoy Our Food Stories and thank you so much for stopping by!
