Overview
Experience the extraordinary food and philosophy of Schloss Schauenstein, the three-Michelin-starred culinary destination in the heart of the Swiss Alps
Schloss Schauenstein is more than a restaurant – it is an eighteenth-century castle reimagined as a modern gastronomic beacon. Here, a tight-knit team works at the pinnacle of their craft, guided by a philosophy that celebrates terroir through enduring relationships with those who grow, shape, and harvest its ingredients. The result is a living expression of culinary artistry, cultural heritage, and creative collaboration.
In Beyond Peaks, Schloss Schauenstein’s visionary chefs, Andreas Caminada and Marcel Skibba, invite readers to explore this extraordinary dining destination. Presented as a stunning dual-volume monograph, the book distils the spirit of Schloss Schauenstein through story, recipes, people, and landscape, both past and present.
Volume I: Stories is a richly textured portrait of the people and ingredients behind the plates. Through essays, profiles, and stunning photography, readers are introduced to the gardeners, artisans, bakers, winemakers, and craftspeople whose contributions shape the restaurant’s quiet brilliance.
Volume II: Recipes presents a curated collection of seasonal tasting menus, which articulate a meticulous yet expressive culinary voice. Dishes such as Fermented Asparagus with Barley and Juniper or Roasted Duck with Rhubarb and Pine are precise tributes to the land. Foundational recipes offer practical insight.
Conceptually rich and impeccably designed, Beyond Peaks will inspire anyone passionate about food as a cultural act: destination diners and armchair gourmands, professional chefs and ambitious home cooks, culinary educators and passionate cookbook collectors. It is a celebration of alpine culture, craftsmanship, and culinary innovation – anchored within the walls of a medieval castle and brought to life by two of Europe’s most respected contemporary chefs.
