TV Chef Alexander Herrmann Says Son’s Cooking Career Began With Anime-Inspired Dish

He describes offering guidance, letting his children choose their own path.

Overview

  • As a teenager, Paul Herrmann watched cooking-themed anime and recreated a mackerel patty on rice with a soy-like broth without a written recipe.
  • Alexander Herrmann praised the result as "total abgefahren" and noted his son learned by observing how the dish was prepared on screen.
  • After completing a culinary apprenticeship, Paul now works in a restaurant in Düsseldorf.
  • Herrmann says his son grew up around kitchens, recalling moments like cleaning scampi during a TV show and selling his father’s autograph cards for one or two euros.
  • The comments were reported from a Süddeutsche Zeitung interview and circulated by the dpa newswire.
