Kitchen Impossible

Dec 23, 2014

For Tim Mälzer, the culinary competition begins in Switzerland. Here, the star chef has to compete with two Michelin-starred chefs. In order to collect more points than his competitor and two-star chef Tim Raue, he has to recreate a speciality of Europe's youngest three-star chef, Andreas Caminada, as precisely as possible. And he is known for turning every course into a true work of art. Tim Raue's first stop is Poland. Here, the two-star chef has to contend with several challenges. Because it's a public holiday, only one supermarket is open. And since no one speaks English, communication is anything but easy. Will Tim Raue still manage to get all the ingredients?

For Tim Mälzer, the competition begins in Switzerland. Here he has to recreate a speciality of Europe's youngest three-star chef, Andreas Caminada. His second trip to Ireland is a real contrast: Here the star chef has to conjure up "Tripe and Drisheen" - tripe with traditional black pudding. Before cooking, he has to prepare Drisheen himself. A single Irish butcher makes this blood sausage, which is eaten warm, from cow and sheep blood. After the preparation, the butcher, of all people, announces himself as another member of the jury. Tim Raue's first stop is Poland. Here, the two-star chef faces several challenges. Due to a public holiday, only one supermarket is open - and no one speaks English. His trip to Spain is royal: Rafael Vidal, the chef of the 'Paella Valenciana', has already served it to the Spanish King Juan Carlos during a state visit to Valencia.
