Watch the 107-year-old recipes come alive again! The exciting story of how a cooks’ collection of handwritten recopies from the castle of Häckeberga were saved in a fire, to be miraculously found much later at an auction – and returned to the castle again. We let the present head chief cook some of the recipes again after more than a century – and discovered a food philosophy and raw materials that feels highly current again! A personal project that lasted during a whole year. It was my own grandfather who found the recipes at an auction – and it was I who could hand them over to Häckeberga and the very same castle kitchen again. What we cooked? Read the story!
