Sternekoch Timo Fritsche: "Ich war einfach nicht gut genug am Ende"

Despite this, he still struggles with his own insecurities. Nature, cooking, and Swiss cuisine have guided him on his journey to self-discovery. A carrot appetizer, because it's a vegetable that always works. The main course of lobster and saffron beurre blanc, which is flexible in its side dishes. Just like its chef.
