Tanja Grandits is the highest-rated chef in Switzerland. Her restaurant Stucki in Basel has been awarded 2 Michelin stars and 18 GaultMillau points. Her avant-garde cuisine is unmistakable. However, the native Swabian not only creates extraordinary gourmet menus but is also a mother and private host in her colorful apartment above the restaurant. There, for example, she makes granola bars for her daughter Emma to take with her, and she enjoys cooking large communal meals for her staff. This other side of the top chef is the focus of this book. It showcases a family-friendly and practical cuisine that is simple yet always features distinct flavors and surprising combinations. It demonstrates that the greatest happiness lies in those dishes that are cooked with joy.
