Biography Johanna Maier:

Nature is Johanna Maier's guide. It gives what at the moment is important and right for the body and the palate. With this conviction, she prefers to cook regional and seasonal products. "Love of cooking, an open-minded sense of taste, bowing to nature, some great moments of creativity in which reality is a vision, and at the end, the immense feeling of happiness at being able to give pleasure - that's my love."

German Version:

Die Natur ist Johanna Maiers Leitfaden, sie gibt ihr vor was im Moment für den Körper und den Gaumen wichtig und richtig ist. Aus dieser Überzeugung heraus kocht sie bevorzugt mit regionalen und saisonalen Produkten. „Liebe zum Kochen, ein unbeirrbarer Geschmacksinn, Verbeugung vor der Natur, grosse Augenblicke der Kreativität, in denen aus einer Vision Wirklichkeit wird und am Ende das ungeheure Glücksgefühl steht Freude bereiten zu dürfen – das ist meine Liebe.“
