Award-winning kitchen in the sky
In Berlin’s Skykitchen, Michelin-starred chef Alexander Koppe whips up such creations as cauliflower with poached egg yolk. It’s a well tempered recipe to be enjoyed in a stylish gourmet establishment with a bar and a panoramic view of Berlin. "50 Kitchens, One City" allows the readers to reproduce Koppe’s creative German dishes themselves in their own homes by giving step-by-step instructions.
Food from around the world
Both the book and the TV installments each Friday on DW’s lifestyle magazine Euromaxx, starting June 9, place the people behind the recipes in the spotlight. Berlin is home to people from over 180 nations. They all contribute something of their own cultures to make the city what it is. Some, like Frank Anyangbe from Nigeria, open restaurants and serve specialties from their home countries.
Cooking step by step
Each of the 50 recipes in the book is linked to a corresponding webpage under www.dw.com/50kitchens. It provides further background information on the recipe, the restaurant and the country of the dish’s origin. The video goes through the recipe’s preparation step by step.
Berlin, a window to the world
The Iranian restaurant Saray is just one of the 50 establishments profiled in "50 Kitchens, One City," our culinary world tour from Egypt to Vietnam. Every Friday starting on June 9, DW’s lifestyle magazine Euromaxx presents cuisine from six continents - all collected in one of Europe’s most exciting metropolises.
From street food to haute cuisine
"50 Kitchens, One City" shows you don't necessarily have to be a five-star chef to serve great food.
