EMIL’s COOK BOOK

what I've done so far.

@emil.hdt+49 1511 4600351contact@emilhundt.com

I'm Emil Hundt, 19, and I've been cooking full-time for two years now, as a chef at Restaurant Künstlerhaus. I've been at the stove since I was three — almost daily, alongside my father — and that early passion never left me. Instead of a classic apprenticeship, I chose my own path: learning by doing, and cooking in different kitchens to keep growing as a chef.

Baseball

Baseball is my second passion. I used to practice five days a week — with stints in the German and Swiss national team programs. At the Stuttgart Reds I worked my way up from the youth teams into the second team, at times even filling in for the first team and supporting as a catcher. Today, my focus has clearly shifted towards cooking though.

IN 10TH GRADE, WE HAD TO DO A WEEK OF WORK EXPERIENCE. I WENT TO THE YOUNG, COOL FINE DINING RESTAURANT “IM KÜNSTLERHAUS.” AFTER THAT, I DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL ANYMORE, I WANTED TO STAY IN THE KITCHEN. MY PARENTS FORCED ME TO FINISH HIGH SCHOOL. I'M PROBABLY GRATEFUL TO THEM FOR THAT. WHENEVER I COULD, I SPENT AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE IN THE KITCHEN. AS SOON AS I GRADUATED, I STARTED WORKING FULL-TIME AT THE KÜNSTLERHAUS. THAT'S MY HOME BASE, WHERE I CAN LEARN EVERYTHING AND DO INTERNSHIPS IN OTHER KITCHENS WHENEVER I WANT.

I'M ESPECIALLY GRATEFUL TO COCO KULD, SEBASTIAN WERNING, HANS-PETER WÖHRWAG AND OTTO GEISEL. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

On every dish shown here I was involved
co-developing, cooking, or creating it myself, unless stated otherwise.
All photographs are my own, unless stated otherwise.
