The German Culinary Archive at the Saxon State and University Library (SLUB) in Dresden is growing with more recipes for famous creations. Star chefs Marc Haeberlin, Joachim Wissler, Torsten Michel, Stefan Neugebauer and pâtissier Christian Hümbs, known from the TV show "Das große Backen", personally handed them over on Monday.
The new additions show "culinary excellence between regional tradition, classic culinary art and culinary avant-garde at the very highest level and with outstanding chefs", said gastronomy critic Jürgen Dollase. Since 2023, he has been documenting five dishes per year for the culinary memory of the period from 1970 to the present, which exemplify the culinary art of the present. This makes it possible for later generations to reconstruct them.
