After years of professional experience in Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and Thailand, Thomas and Mathias settled in a charming 1970s villa in the heart of Bangkok. Without changing the soul of the house, they remodeled it and opened the dream they always had: to create a place for their creativity, to call home and invite their guests and friends, and to discover their new vision of German gastronomy.
Thomas and
Mathias Sühring
Interview
Why did you become a chef?
"Out of conviction, and because the profession offers a great many opportunities and prospects. "
What is the most beautiful thing about your job?
"The conscientious use of our planet's resources."
How important is sustainability in upscale cuisine?
"Very important because upscale cuisine reflects the highest form of our profession, paving the way for innovation."
What does respect for food mean to you?
"Not treating them with indifference, but with the utmost focus and appreciation."
Which Nesmuk knife is your favorite and why?
"The 180 chef's knife is my current favorite because I use it for most jobs."
Why are good tools so important in your profession?
"It makes work much easier, especially in our field where precision is essential.
The starting point of our dishes is always the search for the best basic product. Then the best tool to give this basic product the so-called "finishing touch"."
How do you bring sustainability into your kitchen?
"We are in constant contact with our farmers and suppliers. Here in Thailand in particular, we have experienced a boom in recent years. In the field of agriculture, the country offers excellent conditions. Many special products, for the upscale cuisine sector, are grown here. We also filter and purify our water in-house, which is then offered as drinking water in the restaurant. In addition, we have reviewed the energy concept of our restaurant and made investments to reduce energy consumption. These are just a few examples of how we are taking care of more sustainability in our four walls."
What makes Nesmuk knives different from others you've worked with before?
"The durability of the material and perfect balance in the hand makes it so pleasant to work with a Nesmuk knife."
