From culinary rebel to head chef – Arnold Pucher on his journey and the cuisine at the Hochschober

Episode 040
Between tradition, team spirit and new flavours

Culinary experiences are a central part of a stay at the Hochschober. In this episode of HOCHinteressant – the Hochschober podcast, host Karin Leeb talks to Arnold Pucher, head chef at Hotel Hochschober. Arnold Pucher looks back on an exceptional career: positions in Italy, Switzerland, England and the USA, successful restaurant projects and many years of experience in gastronomy have shaped his approach to cooking and cuisine.

Today, he leads a large kitchen team at the Hochschober. Their conversation explores modern hotel cuisine between tradition and Mediterranean influences, vegetarian and vegan trends, high-quality ingredients – and the challenge of leading an international kitchen team while training young talents.

An episode about a passion for cooking, team spirit in the kitchen and how holiday cuisine continues to evolve.
