"Die Küche": We show 5 recipes from Tim Mälzer's new cookbook
"The Kitchen": the new cookbook by Tim Mälzer
On 18 October 2016, Tim Mälzer presented his new book in his new Hamburg restaurant "Die glad Embassy". There maltsters are in his element: the design of the shop is simple and reduced. He renounces everything superfluous. And that's exactly how the new book comes along. Tim Mälzer says that's just where he is in life now.
"Ingredients are as good as they are"
Even in his very high-quality and elaborately designed cookbook, which is clearly too heavy to pull it out of the shelf with one hand, this is exactly what is reflected. "Ingredients are as good as they are," he says. He therefore refrains from spices, cooking only with salt, pepper and sugar. Nothing is hidden here. Everything is straightforward, unfussy, authentic. In "The Kitchen" Tim Mälzer focuses on the essentials: on the taste.
"With all the penchant for self-expression, there is also something like humility"
And so the recipes in "The Kitchen" are a kind of distillate of his work, a book that conveys tools and gives the hobby cooks self-confidence in the kitchen. They should trust that the basics taste good when they cook with good ingredients and trust them to do something.
Surprisingly, Tim Mälzer himself: He takes a back seat, gives himself a modest appearance, sometimes takes a back seat to the ingredients and his team. "That's not my style otherwise. I applaud for a potato salad and that in a circle, so it is nice loud." But: "With all the penchant for self-expression, there is also something like humility."
And so, this book is also a bow to the tools of cooking, a best-of, from the first to the last page impressed - and it is good nachkochen.
"Die Küche" was published by Mosaik Verlag in October 2016 and costs 24.99 euros.
