This book is not a promise, but an invitation. Einfach Bau shows how the philosophy behind three-star cuisine can be applied to your own everyday life – not through simplification, but through understanding. For the first time, Sarah and Christian Bau open the door to their culinary world together, offering a glimpse into a kitchen that has been setting standards for two decades: precise, disciplined, yet open to curiosity and further development.
What immediately stands out is that the recipes are clearly structured, logically organised and underpinned by a didactic approach that takes ambitious home cooks seriously. Whether it’s miso aubergine with peanuts, prawns with sesame broccolini and pak choi, or an apple tart with Japanese rum – every dish reflects the interplay between the classical French school and the Japanese-inspired flavours for which Christian Bau is internationally acclaimed. At the same time, Sarah Bau’s distinctive voice is clearly evident: precise, modern, with a keen sense of balance and texture.
