The head chef at the gourmet Hotel Lindenhof is Giosué Nappo. He leads a kitchen team of fifteen and works with great passion and motivation. His credo: "The art and challenge in the kitchen is to appreciate the products, refine them and not adulterate them with artificial additives." Giosué combines Italian-Mediterranean cuisine, the "cucina della nonna", with regional ingredients. Pasta, bread, pastries and pralines are made in-house by his team. Particular attention is paid to the origin of the ingredients: as part of the PURE GREEN project, Giosué sources produce from Baumgartenhof and Karthein.gut, two farms in the immediate vicinity, as well as from the hotel's own vegetable and herb garden. The project unites a passion for nature with the art of cooking and reflects the hotel's commitment to a greener future.
