Zora Klipp is one of the few cooks on German television. A conversation about coking chefs, the best way to prepare Brussels sprouts – and her own restaurant, which she opened in the middle of the pandemic.

Gray outside, people laughing inside, despite the pandemic. Zora Klipp, 31, canceled the mulled wine evenings with bratwurst in her restaurant in Hamburg, but it’s not worth it. But there is still enough to do, the TV cook and author runs her café “Weidenkantine” with her younger sister and older brother. Having grown up in Lower Saxony, she made a detour to the star kitchen after completing her apprenticeship and almost lost her interest in cooking. After backpacking and student years, Zora Klipp cooked in front of the camera for the first time in 2017. In 2020 she got her own show on NDR, and from February 2022 she will test dishes from sizzling families in the ARD afternoon program.
