Description

Cows are special animals to Andreas C. Studer. Ever since he was a boy growing up with cows in Interlaken, he has been fascinated by these peaceful creatures. High-quality products like savoury cheese, fresh butter and bitter melting milk chocolate would be impossible without their milk. While photographing he has discovered many beautiful unknown locations in Switzerland, as well as meeting many Swiss cows. Attracted to their passive temperament he has included descriptions of idyllic country life and how good it is to be a Swiss cow. Text in English, French and German.

Author Biography

Known affectionately to his fans as 'Studi', Andreas C. Studer's love of cooking began at a very young age as his mother was also a chef. He grew up in Interlaken in the Bernese Oberland, where he began his own career as a chef. He later worked in firstclass hotels in Zurich, before graduating from the Hotelfachschule Thun (Thun Academy of Hotel Management). In 1997 he began his career as a television chef for the highly successful program Kochduell on Vox. Considered one of the most popular German-language television chefs, for the past ten years he has been seen on Swiss television in the prime-time cooking show Al dente. He now cooks for the successful Lanz Kocht as well as for Kuchenschlacht on ZDF. Studer has published seven cook books. In this book he presents his hobby of photography as well as his love for cows and for his native country for the very first time.
