For TV chef Johann Lafer, food is strongly linked to emotions. He particularly fondly remembers one particular dish.
In his own words, TV chef Johann Lafer remembers the food in his childhood well. “Today, the pure taste of my childhood is the benchmark for everything. If I want to eat such good sauerkraut as I did back then, I have to look for a long time. Of course, that also has to do with emotions,” the 66-year-old told the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung” .
“I saw my mother carrying the cabbage heads home with the wheelbarrow. It went into a tub that we children ran around in with our bare feet, and she always sprinkled in salt, juniper berries and bay leaves every now and then. And then there was the Sauerkraut on the first or second day of Christmas. That was how I developed my taste – taste is not innate, but is acquired.”
