from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norbert Niederkofler (born September 16, 1961 in Luttach , South Tyrol ) is an Italian cook and specialist book author.

Career

After his training in South Tyrol, he went through several positions abroad, B. in Waging am See with Alfons Schuhbeck , on Sylt with Jörg Müller , in Munich with Eckart Witzigmann , in New York with David Bouley , in London and Zurich with Mövenpick.

After years of hiking, he moved back to South Tyrol, where he has been cooking at the Relais & Châteaux Hotel & Spa Rosa Alpina in San Cassiano since 1994 . In 1996 the gourmet restaurant St. Hubertus was opened in the hotel, which was awarded the first Michelin star in 2001, the second in 2006 and the third in 2017 - the first restaurant in South Tyrol . In 2011 the restaurant received 19 Gault Millau points .

Niederkofler calls his style Alpine cuisine , in which only regional products are used. So he said goodbye to non-regional ingredients such as foie gras and imported fish; for his concept "Cook the Mountain" he also banned olive oil and citrus fruits. For this he uses grape seed oil and the acidity of grapes. He replaces ketchup with fermented plum puree. "No Waste" is his motto. He cans many ingredients for the long winter months.
