AIDA Cruises: Stefan Marquard and the “Jungen Wilden” rock AIDAluna’s restaurant world

From October 22 to November 5, 2016 one of the most unusual cruises of the winter season – from New York to the Dominican Republic has come to an end. The gastro-revolutionary "Jungen Wilden" with their star, Stefan Marquard, rocked the ship's cuisine and restaurants.

These "Jungen Wilden" are dedicated chefs who, with passion and a love of cooking, are prepared to break the rules and subordinate everything to the best possible flavors. During the cruise from New York to the Bahamas via Baltimore, Charleston, Port Canaveral and Miami, it wasn't only their exclusive live shows that got AIDAluna's guests inspired.

During choice dinners at the "Rossini" gourmet restaurant and the teppanyaki grill at the "Weite Welt" restaurant, guests were treated to extraordinary new takes on classics, unusual ways of preparing dishes, and highly aromatic flavor experiences. Whether "smoked and flipped" or "foamed and frosted," the compositions produced by these award-winning young chefs astonished and delighted.

Naturally these culinary rock stars also staged a special program for events such as "World Pasta Day" or spine-chilling Halloween. From pumpkin carving to lightning fast pasta dishes, the guests were fired up again and again.

One of those accompanying Stefan Marquard was Joachim Jaud, winner of the "Junge Wilde" cookery competition 2016 and executive sous-chef at the Opus V restaurant in Mannheim. Other chefs who cooked their way into the hearts and stomachs of the guests were Max Aichinger from Salzburg, Walter Triebl from Graz, Christoph Brand from Fritzlar, Matthias Bernwieser from Vienna, and Bernd Arold and Bastian Falkenroth from Düsseldorf.

The collaboration was sponsored by the well-known restaurant industry magazine, Rolling Pin.
