zu Gast: Janina Uhse | Brasserie Colette Tim Raue

Behind the scenes

What do actress Janina Uhse and our kitchen director Dominik Obermeier have in common?
Correct: a great passion for cooking!

As part of the recently launched video series "ZU GAST bei" on Janina's food blog „Janina and Food" she visited the Brasserie Colette Tim Raue Berlin. Dominik Obermeier welcomed her warmly and took her directly behind the scenes and cooking pots. What happened in the kitchen and how the jointly cooked shrimp Marocain tasted, you can find out here in the video (only in German):
