“For me, hospitality is the synergy between diverse elements – from the products we use to the fabrics we wear. My passion is to explore and shape this interplay.”
– Andreas Tuffentsammer
“It’s all about enthusiasm.” For Andreas Tuffentsammer, the key to culinary delight is the devotion behind its approach. As the youngest chef to be awarded a Michelin Star in 2011, Andreas has been avidly sculpting his own domain within the world of gastronomy; one with a unique approach to good food. In his opinion, hospitality goes beyond the mere creation of dishes. It involves theoretical knowledge and aesthetic sensibility combined with strong interpersonal relationships and economic viability. With this holistic approach Andreas tailors culinary solutions for each of his partners.
FOOD
When creating a dish, Tuffentsammer’s key focus is on both the quality of the products and the definitive taste. Wether it’s for star-studded gastronomy or on-the-go concepts, the essence of good cuisine, lies in the ingredients. “There is no one single kitchen concept. One must stay open-minded, eat out a lot, try new dishes”. Andreas’ ambition is driven by this search for something new, always with the notion that the idea precedes, but never undermines, the resulting flavour.
