Denise Grahofer

Denise Jacqueline Grahofer lives in the Waldviertel, Austria. After school she attended the art branch of the BORG Krems and then trained as a cook. From early childhood she accompanied her mother, the herbal educator Eunike Grahofer, as she talked with older people about their life knowledge, recipes and plant lore, documented and published it. This sparked her interest in history and her love of learning recipes and cooking knowledge directly from older generations, who conjure delicious dishes from a few simple ingredients. She brings this treasure of knowledge into modern cooking with great sensitivity.
