The German cooking competition ‘Das perfekte Dinner’ continues to feature various amateur chefs across different regions. In Cologne, participants prepared diverse menus ranging from Sicilian-themed dishes to Japanese-inspired courses, with some episodes highlighting etiquette discussions among hosts and guests.

In the Palatinate region, 44-year-old graphic designer Stefan hosted a night focused on ‘Soulfood aus Pfälzer Zutaten’. His multi-course menu included asparagus and trout, followed by handmade tagliatelle with a ragù that simmered for four hours using twelve egg yolks, and concluded with a strawberry and almond dessert. While aiming for fresh flavors, his pasta dish received mixed reactions from guests.

Moving to the Ruhrgebiet region, the competition featured five amateur chefs. The week began with Gabriel, a 56-year-old aspiring wine bar owner from Dortmund, who presented a French-inspired menu titled ‘Pott küsst Frankreich’. His dishes included a pistachio, brioche, and tomato appetizer, followed by Angus beef with mushrooms and a vanilla and chocolate dessert. Other hosts during this period included Franzi, who utilized a ‘Pretty in Pink’ theme, Katrin, who prepared American and German fusion, and Tim, who focused on a nut-based menu.
