Philip Rachinger
Philip Rachinger (born 1989 ) is an Austrian award-winning chef .
Life
Philip Rachinger is the son of Helmut Rachinger , cook and co-owner of the Mühltalhof , a hotel and restaurant in Neufelden (Upper Austria), which is owned by the family in the sixth generation. His father runs the restaurant, his aunt Johanna Eckl the hotel. He completed dual training at the Salzkammergut tourism school in Bad Ischl, which he completed with a high school diploma and an apprenticeship as a chef. From 2010 he cooked for two years in Steirereck am Pogusch and in Vienna. He then went to London, where he first worked in the sketch for Pierre Gagnaire and then as sous-chef for Isaac McHale at the Clove Club . In 2013 he moved to Paris, where he worked for Sven Chartier at Saturne . At the end of the same year, Rachinger returned to Austria at the request of his father. Since then he has been working alongside his father as co-chef at the Mühltalhof . Philip Rachinger is responsible for starters, desserts and shopping.
The Rachingers received international recognition for their “impulsive and nonchalant natural cuisine”. In March 2015, they were the first Austrian chefs to be invited to the Omnivore Festival in Paris. In London they presented their "Beetroot with the saddle of hare and smoked cream" to British culinary journalists. The use of fat milk, even if as a supporting actor, led Anna Burghardt to sum up: "In their pursuit of an internationally unmistakable (Alpine) identity, Austrian chefs could generally rely more on milk."
In October 2014, father and son were awarded 90 points by the A la carte gourmet guide as the third best restaurant in Upper Austria. In Gault Millau 2018 , the Rachingers received 18 out of 20 possible points and thus three toques, the highest rating in Upper Austria.
