Sweet Revolution with René Frank

Join us for a cool, bold and inspiring episode for food lovers, where fine dining meets fearless creativity. Our guest, Chef René Frank, takes us back to the heart of his childhood kitchen, where aromas, flavors and memories first ignited his passion for food. Amid the clatter of pots and the warmth of home-cooked meals, his journey is one that would take courage, vision, and relentless curiosity to transform him into one of the world's most groundbreaking pastry chefs.

Named Pastry Chef of the Year four times by Gault & Millau and Rolling Pin, René shares the moments that shaped him and his kitchen at CODA, his two Michelin-starred restaurant in Berlin, a cutting-edge food laboratory where indulgence is redefined, and dessert takes center stage. CODA is not just a place to cook and eat, but a place to nourish, where the World's Best Pastry Chef of 2022 creates dishes that defy convention.

In a city known for its freedom, creativity, and rule-breaking spirit, René is rewriting the language of desserts, eliminating refined sugar, butter, and flour to create something entirely new.

This episode is about more than food-it's about having the courage to challenge convention, believing in wild ideas, and following through even when the world might call those ideas crazy!
