This is where Christof Wirtz cooks
Hello, I’m Christof from Rösrath, Germany.
I enjoy cooking.
I enjoy eating even more.
And at some point, I decided to write about it.
Originally, I just wanted to experiment a little with WordPress, learn more about SEO and collect a few recipes. Well … suddenly I had a food blog. And then more recipes. And even more ideas. And at some point it became clear: I really enjoy doing this.
I’m not a professional chef. I’m more the kind of guy who says: “Sounds good – let’s give it a try.”
Sometimes it works right away. Sometimes it becomes … let’s say … “educational”. But that’s exactly what makes it interesting.
My recipes on Lecker-Wirtz
I have cooked and tested all the recipes on Lecker-Wirtz myself, and most of them have been optimized several times. So if you find me saying that something “tastes good”, I have actually eaten it first. Often more than once. Purely for scientific reasons, of course.
Cookbooks are as exciting to me as a good novel. When shopping, I often find myself standing next to the vegetables, the meat counter or the spice rack and start combining things in my head: What goes together? How should I prepare it? And will the timing work for dinner tonight?
For me, cooking is not just about preparing food. Chopping and sizzling is relaxing. And sometimes a new recipe starts with a simple question:
“What happens if …?”
On Lecker-Wirtz you will find recipes from many different cuisines, as well as barbecue and outdoor cooking, bread, sauces, spice mixes, cocktails and mocktails.
What else interests me
Apart from cooking, I’m interested in grilling and outdoor cooking, new technology and AI, as well as SEO and blogging.
And, of course, music.
I play guitar and drums, sing, occasionally write lyrics and listen to a lot of music. For some time now, I have also been learning electric guitar. After many years of playing guitar around the campfire, it was time to add a little more electricity.
From time to time, I also play music as a DJ for friends and acquaintances. The name DJ Lauter-Wirtz goes back to a good friend whom I told about my plans to get back into playing music more regularly.
Walking, cycling, playing a little golf now and then, family, friends and our dog are also part of my free time.
Profession
Professionally, I work as a personnel consultant in the engineering field. I help medium-sized companies in technical industries find the right employees.
Finding the right ingredients for a good dish and finding the right people for a company have surprisingly much in common: listening, combining, trying things out – and in the end, it simply has to fit.
Voluntary work and community involvement
I also like to stay active outside cooking and work.
I am still active with the JCI Senators Germany and remain connected to the Wirtschaftsjunioren Köln. In the past, I was also active with the Wippera Scout Group in Leichlingen as a rover leader and treasurer.
Whenever the opportunity arises, I also take part in the PfiZeLa in Westernohe or help with planning the leaders’ programme.
Leichter-Wirtz
Cooking and enjoying food belong together for me. At some point, that also meant looking at the other side of the equation: my own diet.
I changed the way I eat and lost a significant amount of weight. This personal experience eventually became Leichter-Wirtz.
There, I explore how conscious eating and enjoyment can go together. Even when losing weight or maintaining it, I don’t want to give up good food.
More about Leichter-Wirtz
Why “Lecker-Wirtz”?
Quite simply: the name came from my wife.
I liked it.
And it suits me pretty well.
The idea behind Lecker-Wirtz
I like trying things out, learning something new along the way and then sharing what came out of it.
That is really the idea behind Lecker-Wirtz:
cook, experiment, learn and enjoy.
I’m happy if you find something here that you would like to cook yourself.
Or at least something that makes you hungry.
Have fun cooking, experimenting and enjoying!
