Photographed by: Kurt Michael WestermannLIFE ON A PLATE
Food has much more to it than meets the eye. Hidden in a plate is a taste of culture and a glimpse of a country's identity shown through the use of ingredients as the seasons change. How products are being used, and put together says something about their creator’s beliefs and ideals. I am not a saviour. I am not a doctor who saves lives. I just put life on a plate.
Welcome to Austria‘s 1st English Restaurant Guide,
