The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands presents a culinary exploration of Germany’s Black Forest with chef Viktoria Fuchs this November.
An 8th generation gastronome who owns and manages the Spielweg estate in Münstertal, November 24-25 Fuchs will host an exquisite five-course wild game menu at the resort’s Beach Shack and a tasting of fine meats and cheeses from the Spielweg estate smoking chamber.
Whilst at The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands guests can look forward to an evening with Fuchs and a menu of Black Forest-inspired gastronomy, from Wild Boar Dim Sum, Pink-roasted Saddle of Venison with mango, to Gugelhupf classic fruit and nut cake served with Spielweg Gin. An intimate tasting experience at the Wine Cellar will also explore sliced mountain cheese from Spielweg’s smoking chamber and the Black Forest’s finest Coppa and Beef Ham – cured for two months and dried in a noble mould culture.
Following in the footsteps of her forefathers, renowned hunters, cooks and founding members of the elite Jeunes Restaurateurs, Fuchs helms the kitchens at Spielweg, serving an inventive menu of wild game and herbs from the Black Forest. From the family’s cheese factory, an age-old craft is kept alive with milk from the Hinterwälder cows that graze on a farm situated 1,000 metres above sea level.
As the family continues to support the local nature park and farms, Fuchs has also released the estate’s own gin – Spielweg Gin, made with juniper, blueberries, cranberries, rowanberries, mountain herbs and lemon peel, all sourced from the Black Forest.
On a journey to share her family’s passion and her experience with game cuisine from the Black Forest, Fuch’s award-winning book, FuchsteufelsWILD, is an ode to the long tradition of game cuisine in Spielweg.
