When technology, art, and cuisine meet, a magical place comes to life: Hangar-7 at the Salzburg Airport. There, the two Michelin-stars awarded Restaurant Ikarus offers one of the most exciting restaurant concepts: The world’s best chefs take turns each month at creating elaborate dishes for the Ikarus guests. In the kitchens of Restaurant Ikarus, Executive Chef Martin Klein and his well-coordinated team perfectly stage the guest chefs’ menus with the most exquisite ingredients from around the world.
In the associated cookbook series »Ikarus invites the world’s best chefs« by Benevento Publishing, the current eighth volume brings together the exciting creations of top chefs from Germany, Belgium, Spain, Sweden, France, Italy, Portugal and Austria as well as their personal stories and places. Comprising eleven chapters and 344 pages – the eighth volume in the series offers plenty of space for presentation for each guest chef: In addition to the recipes of the five signature dishes of each guest chef’s menu, a very personal and hand-written credo, a glimpse behind the scenes of Restaurant Ikarus and a report on the chef’s home restaurant, we decided to use this time the strong colours blue and red. The chefs were portrayed through a curtain and their hands were staged in an unusual way. In combination with generous white space and impressions from the guest chefs’ home restaurants, this volume has become a colourful and high-quality culinary collectors’ item. On the chapter intro pages, geometrical elements create a frame as a special space for presentation, which is also UV-coated.
