Born to Cook (Band 1): Born to Cook

Jamie Oliver knows Tim from their London days - together they have already done a TV show. In his own restaurant in Hamburg, the "Weissen Haus," the 32-year-old practices fresh and creative cuisine at everyday prices, combined with practical promotions. "There are things that are just 'incredibly delicious,' but they don't have to cost the earth." And: "Slowly, a different, new generation of chefs is emerging, who do not live in this unspoken competitive situation, but strive for collaboration instead."

With disarming brilliance, the Hamburg chef dispels the stereotype that cooking is a complicated science. Tim Mälzer is charismatic, young, bold, and cheeky. What he cooks is top-notch. How he cooks is straightforward. His ingredients are well thought out, yet not extraordinary. His many years of experience in top-notch establishments help him with this.
