Erich Hartl is the 'German Amateur Master Chef 2016'
The verdict is in for BORA’s chef competition:
Erich Hartl has won the final of the ‘German Amateur Master Chef 2016’
Raubling. On Sunday, 9 October 2016, BORA Lüftungstechnik GmbH, Johann Lafer and TEUBNER Verlag announced the winner of BORA’s German Amateur Master Chef 2016 competition at the grand finale in Raubling. The field of competitors was strong, the judges demanding and the winner proud and happy: after a long day over a hot stove, Erich Hartl from Trostberg prevailed against his competitors Verena Leister (2nd) and Carolin Adam (3rd) with his specially created three-course meal to become the deserving winner of the coveted title.
The prestigious competition for amateur chefs was jointly launched by BORA, Johann Lafer and TEUBNER Verlag in 2015. This year, all of the menus submitted to the competition were once again of an excellent standard, which demonstrated the competitors’ great expertise and thoroughly impressed the judges. For example, BORA founder and judge Willi Bruckbauer enthused: “The recipes we received are of an extremely high standard. The competitors are playing in the premier league of German amateur chefs.”
The three finalists spent many hours in the stylish werkhaus building in Raubling cooking with their kitchen appliances in a focussed, highly professional and yet laid-back and relaxed atmosphere. Course by course, they then served their individually created three-course menu, which had to contain certain set ingredients in any combination, to the judges, who conscientiously assessed them with a great deal of focus and curiosity. Even while the competitors were still cooking, the three judges, Willi Bruckbauer, Johann Lafer and Bernhard Kellner (TEUBNER cooking book expert), assessed their working methods and skills at the stove, while also chatting enthusiastically about their shared passion for cooking.
The decision was extremely tight and was only reached by the judges after a long and intense meeting. Afterwards, everyone involved had reason to celebrate as Johann Lafer conjured up tasty steaks and the stressful day ended with an enjoyable and festive atmosphere.
Erich Hartl’s winning menu:
Starter: Aquatic quartet of hamachi, scallops, salmon and Norway lobster
Main: Chamois back steak in pepper brittle, honey and blackberry sauce, beetroot purée and a trio of dumplings
Dessert: Baked chocolate mousse with cream cheese with herbs
