What defines German cuisine? For Chef Jan Hartwig, the answer lies in a ‘German taste DNA’ – one that binds heritage, culture and respect for nature.⁠

In April, the three-Michelin-starred chef from Munich joined The Chef Series in the heart of our rainforest, sharing not only his culinary philosophy but also a poignant reminder that nature grounds us, humbles us, and inspires us to create with respect.

His residency revealed that at its essence, cooking is about connection – to place, to people, and to nature itself.⁠
