Culinary highflyers

Since the Ikarus Restaurant opened its doors in 2003, the earth has revolved around the sun ten times. During this time the Ikarus Restaurant has itself become a fixed star on the culinary firmament and is known to gourmets far beyond the borders of Austria. No wonder, as once a month, executive chef Roland Trettl and his team invite a new international top-class chef to the Ikarus Restaurant to create exquisite gourmet dishes with his or her personal signature, imagination and skill and to enchant the restaurant for a whole month. This high standard of offering guests a new top-class chef each and every month guarantees a diversity that must be unique worldwide. Whether from France, Australia or Thailand – in the Ikarus Restaurant the international culinary elite find a new home. The success has justified the idea. Every new arrival of a culinary highflyer signifies a feast for all the senses. In addition to unforgettable dishes, each of the invited chefs also designs an individual wooden spoon. However, more than this, there remains from each chef something special to remind us of them: The knowledge and the experience are the greatest treasure for the entire Ikarus team. You are now holding one of these treasures in your hands. This cookbook combines the best recipes of all the Ikarus guest chefs in the culinary year 2013 to make an international synthesis of art.
