Cooking School

CookingSchool

When I moved to Germany I was faced with 2 issues. I could not speak the language and my cooking was at best “acceptable”. Although I was studying Hotel Management at the time and had just served a 2 year period in some fine hotel kitchens, cooking for me was tedious. But I tackled both my issues very practically - I bought cookbooks in German and this way was able to up my cooking skills to more than learning the finer techniques in the kitchen and I German became an interesting language to learn.

My series the Cooking School is a way to put back into the world what I learned in terms of cooking. This series takes up some classic and traditional dishes from around the world breaking it down into easy steps for everyone to recreate at home. I always add my own touch to these dishes so I do hope there will be room for your own interpretations too - after all that is what cooking is all about.
