Wir sehn uns vorm Gericht!

We'll see each other in court! With Willy Astor, this is not a threat; it's an invitation to the most delightful gathering: dining with friends. A well-set table, a simple, easy-to-recreate dish, drinks, conversations, laughter – that's how it should be. For this, he has gathered his friends, companions, colleagues, and even top chefs around the stove, asking for their favorite recipes and the "why" behind them. Among those who joined are Gerhard and Tini Polt, Hans Haas, Hella Witte, Martina Schwarzmann, Maria and Reinhold Binder, Annik and Konstantin Wecker, Karl Ederer, Roberto di Gioia, Opi Gerhard, Renate, Kai, Daniele, Christa, and many others, with dishes ranging from Spaghetti povera gente to Grandma's Königsberger Klopse with potatoes, fish soup, and raspberry tart. Willy Astor also contributes with a coconut lentil curry and meat patties. "If you love to eat, you love to cook," says Gerhard Polt, and if you love to cook, you need this book – meaty, fishy, vegetarian, or vegan, there's something for everyone.
