Simple and Delicious - Cooking with Björn Freitag Björn's Basic Kitchen
Björn Freitag, known from many WDR formats, cooks in the eighth season of his show "Einfach und köstlich" again in his WDR cooking studio. Here he can prepare great dishes in peace again and again and take his time to explain everything well. Director Andrea Ahmadi and her team in the studio make sure that the food and every single grain of salt come deliciously into the picture. The show is characterized by always making sure to cook "simple and delicious". Today, top chef Björn Freitag presents a selection of his "basics". These are very simple recipes that everyone in the kitchen should know and that he also likes to prepare again and again. Björn Freitag loves the simple classic dishes because they are the heart of his good cooking. For starters, he serves a delicate Pichelsteiner stew because it gives him the leeway to bring something hearty yet sophisticated to the table. Then there are fluffy bread dumplings with a mushroom pan. The main course is a quick chicken fricassee. And the finale is his beloved Malaga ice cream with flambéed oranges. Björn Freitag reveals many a secret of his cooking and always has practical tips that make "cooking - life" easier. The basis of his recipes is a list of common foods that practically everyone has at home. But he wouldn't be Björn Freitag if he didn't bring a few more refined ingredients into the kitchens. In addition, organic gardener Gregor Keller from Datteln, Germany, gets in touch via the Internet. For more than ten years, our "herb man" has been passionately cultivating not only kitchen herbs, but also edible wild herbs and many medicinal plants.
