About What’s Cooking

What’s Cooking is part of the Currywurst Media network, an organisation dedicated to producing the finest-quality cookbooks that are as deliciously beautiful as the recipes they contain.

This is our secret sauce: We absolutely love food! Cooking, styling, photographing, recipe development – we are food specialists. The fact that we publish books as well is a bonus.

Meet the Team

Here are the things we all have in common: we all love food, traveling and meeting new, interesting people. This is why we’ve started What’s Cooking, our passion project.

The Ideas Man

Christian eats everything first before it gets published by us. You might think: OMG isn’t he big enough already? But we call it quality control.
