CULINARY PIONEER

radically natural.

My goal is the maximum minimum:

My cuisine uses only original and unadulterated elements – food to which nothing has been added, forced, or corrected.

I never add, I always just put together.

And what ends up on the table is, of course, a radical cuisine – namely a radically natural cuisine.

Garden Tement

In cooperation with the Tement winery, various vegetables were planted on the exceptional Zieregg and Grassnitzberg sites.

The diversity of vegetables becomes clear when you realize that not all vegetables are the same and that different terroirs can produce a unique flavor even within a single variety.

Leaf to Root

Eat vegetables from leaf to root

Why don't we eat carrot tops? Why is watermelon rind a classic cooking ingredient in the US, while it ends up in the trash in Europe? Why are tomato tops considered toxic, yet chefs still use them? And: How do you turn radish leaves into soup, salad, and pesto? "Leaf to root" is the "nose to tail" of vegetables.
