First Steps in cooking
Following his brother into becoming a chef, Wahabi Nouri spent
3 years at Catering College in order to learn basic techniques.
He then increased his experience, by taking a new position
every year or every two years. Each establishment gave him the
chance to mix with talented chefs such as Franz Renneburger,
Harald Wohfart, or Eckert Witzigmann.
So many mentors allowed the German candidate to reach his
goal : since 2000, he is the owner of his own restaurant in
Hamburg : Le Piment
Training for the “Bocuse d’Or”
At the end of January in Lyon, Wahabi Nouri knows what to expect : two years
ago, he was already wearing Germany’s colours in Lyon. “For me, it was a tremendous
experience,” he remembers.
For 2007 the German chef expects to train by rehearsing his recipes as much
as possible, and especially, serving his customers, every day.
Outside the Kitchen
When he is not cooking, Wahabi Nouri likes to visit famous restaurants and
spend time with his son.
