"The great thing about this recipe is that it combines cheese with something sweet. It's always important that I work with high-quality, seasonal, and regional ingredients, so it was great to be able to work with products from Markthalle Neun in Berlin for this recipe. I wanted to focus particularly on the inherent flavor of the individual components and how they can be combined on the plate. The kale for its part fits both seasonally perfect to this dessert, but also gives a nice contrast to the sweet apple compote."
