From the kitchen to the policy

In retrospect, the lateral entry what is the effect of a basic principle for Sarah Wieners career. She was in her mid-twenties, single parents, social assistance recipient, and without any training, as she began to peel in the Kreuzberg scene Restaurant your father's potatoes. Who would have then bet on it that this kitchen would be the most famous cook in the German-speaking countries? Later, Wiener rose with a converted kitchen of the National people's army in a cart to the Film-Catering. Who would have thought that would develop into a company with almost 90 employees?

so It is to be taken seriously, when the 56-year-old Austrian is now advertising to go into politics. In the European elections in may, the non-party TV chef for Austria's Green candidate wants you to apply to the second list, the party Congress will decide in March. Wiener wants to dedicate himself to the issues of sustainable agriculture, healthy food and biodiversity, and the white, "that I have a steep learning curve in front of me," as she told the news agencies. The sound is appropriately humble, but also good, finally the eloquent Austrian is ... because of its glamorous presence and your krachigen quotes a Bank for talk shows and Interviews in which she makes healthy eating a strong and robbery, some charm against the excesses of industrial agriculture and soulless vending machines kitchens.

Less conservative than the colleagues

The policy of Vienna is already longer closer than the title of "TV chef or celebrity restaurateur" suggest. Since the show-oriented stations, with which Wiener cemented their reputation sent are on the one hand, The restaurateur operates a Restaurant in the Berlin art Museum, the Hamburger Bahnhof, you used to run the canteen of the Federal presidential office, as the First with Johannes B. Kerner cooked, and Reality television made when it was still new. She toured in search of culinary discoveries for the TV-channel Arte through Europe and doubled by her marriage to the actor Peter Lohmeyer at times, your trips to red carpets.

in addition, her work with the Sarah-Wiener Foundation, which has worked for twelve years in schools for better food and farm tours for students and more organized, the know how a cucumber looks like. The Head now lives on her telegenic 800-acre estate Kerkow in the Uckermark, where she explains the benefits of mixing the seed and appropriate saddle pig farming.

Helped in the success of Wiener has certain that you appear more authentic and less stuffy than many of its colleagues. As the daughter of the cultural philosopher and jazz musician Oswald Wiener, she grew up with two siblings in the case of the single mother in Vienna, the artist Lore Heuermann, who did not know often, how the rent should be paid. Some find that they Images overdo it with the care of your Underdog, if you move out against the inequality in nutritional issues to the field. Others turn up their noses on their all-too-down-to-earth cuisine. Criticism of the Vienna with self-irony encountered: could not cook "from everything that I can, at best," she says.
