Gabriele Restaurant Recipes – Berlin, Germany

Chef Bjorn A. Panek of Gabriele Restaurant at the Hotel Adlon Kempinski in Berlin, Germany shares his vision and two tempting recipes for Beef Fillet "Rossini" and Pigeon Breast with Treviggiano, Artichoke, Hazelnuts and Lovage.

I met German Chef Björn a. Panek over the course of an evening at Gabriele Restaurant in March 2008, visiting with this interesting chef in the restaurant’s kitchen and learned that he was born in Oberhausen and honed his craft working with some of the best chefs in Germany, Hans Haas of Tantris in Munich (2 Michelin stars), Bobby Brauer of Die Quadriga in Berlin (1 Michelin star), and more recently, with Tim Raue formerly of 44 in Berlin (1 Michelin star) who also joined the Adlon Collection of restaurants.

Obvious from his chosen profession, this passionate chef said that he has always loved cooking and spending time in the kitchen creating new recipes; he even spends his free time cooking at home, looking at recipes, and collecting cookbooks, which is so extensive that his girlfriend teases him about it.

He graciously shares his very tasty recipes for a delicious taste of Gabriele Restaurant.
