Christoph Steinhauser, head chef at the HAHN Automation Group canteen in Rheinböllen, is defined by his passion for cooking, creativity, and a touch of spontaneity. He recently appeared on RPR1 radio, where he shared an extraordinary chapter of his culinary journey with host Kunze.
On February 3, he spoke about his unexpected victory at the 2017 Kale World Championship in Oldenburg. His participation in the competition was almost accidental. While living in Hamburg, he co-ran a food blog with a photography studio owner. When new content was needed, he decided on a whim to enter the competition. With a recipe he developed himself, he ultimately won the world championship title — a success that still makes for a remarkable story today.
He also appeared on the radio program "100% Rheinland-Pfalz — Wir starten ins Wochenende mit Kunze," where he presented a recipe for the weekend:
Red mullet with sour cherry and beetroot risotto, beurre blanc, and roasted hazelnuts — a dish that reflects creativity and high culinary standards.
You can find the recipe on the RPR1 website:
