Marco Krainer

Who is Marco Krainer?

Marco Krainer is an Austrian specialty chef who, among other things, works as a TV and Radio chef.

Krainer grew up in Carinthia, Austria's most southern province, where he also currently resides. In Carinthia, he attended the Culinary and Tourism Technical College in Oberwollanig by Villach, the same institution his colleague, Wolfgang Puck attended, who has become one of the most famous chefs in the United States.

Early on, Krainer became interested in public broadcast programs, which dealt with nutrition issues, particularly “Hobbythek” in the German Broadcast Station WDR. After an initial interview with the moderators, Jean Pütz and Sabine Fricke as well as the editorial staff, they became interested in Krainer. Shortly thereafter, in February 2002, the first invitation came from the WDR Studio in Cologne, Germany. At first, Krainer was responsible for research and development of the recipes. Later, it was decided to give him time in front of the camera as “Hobbythek-Chef”.

He is busy as show-chef for meetings, presentations, food shows and cooking classes. The unusual concept of “Cooking on the Radio” became very successful.
