Christian Bau is a chef of exceptional rank, head chef and patron of Victor's Fine Dining at Schloss Berg in Perl/Nennig for the last 20 years. He has been honoured with three Michelin stars for the last 13 years, named Gault-Millau 'Cook of the Year' in 2018, and is a bearer of the German Order of Merit. This book records the current state of his culinary art in 56 incomparable dishes. These modern classics are shaped by their French basis as well as by Asian influences, all driven by an uncompromising obsession with detail.

Twenty-eight excerpted dishes, known as Bau.Steine, comprehensively illustrate the key components and essential principles of Bau's cuisine. Supplementary text by Dr. Christoph Wirtz provides deeper insight into Christian Bau's culinary understanding, while Lukas Kirchgasser's brilliant imagery transforms this book into an aesthetic treat.
