Klaus Erfort: Three Stars – At Home
This is Klaus Erfort’s first cookbook – and it consists of two parts. “Three Stars” takes the reader into the GästeHaus, reveals the view behind the scenes, into the “engine room of perfection”. At the heart of it all is a passion for light, French cuisine. A cuisine for which Klaus Erfort has been consistently and highly awarded for twelve years now.
