My name is Matthias Schaefer, and even though I'm not a professional Chef, I've loved cooking ever since I was a child and I've had the chance to work at one of the top rated culinary schools, where I was working behind the scenes in their Culinary Amphitheater. I was there for almost 10 years and had a chance to experience the world best chefs like Jaques Pepin, Marcella Hazan, Andre Soltner, Ron Ben-Israel, Jaques Torres, Ferran Adria, Andrea Immer and many many more. I had the pleasure of spending a lot of time in the kitchen with LeeAnne Wong(top chef) and helped out a lot if it was crunch time making appetizers. So last year I moved away from New York and now living in Texas I miss hanging around the best chefs and learning from them. So I decided to write a blog about some of the recipes that I like, and since I grew up in Germany I decided to start with some of my Grandma's favourite recipes.
