Masterclass with Kristian Baumann

Learn the techniques behind Michelin-level cooking

In this masterclass, you can experience Kristian Baumann, head pastry chef at the Michelin-starred Koan.

The name Koan originates from Zen Buddhism, referring to a paradoxical question that challenges habitual thinking and opens the mind – a philosophy that is also reflected in Kristian’s approach to desserts and flavour.

In this session, Kristian invites you into his personal flavour universe, where Nordic ingredients meet inspiration from Korean cuisine. Through his culinary travels and experience, he has developed a style defined by precision, calm and depth – with a strong focus on seasonality, ingredient quality and subtle nuances of flavour.

You’ll gain insight into how he combines Nordic ingredients with Korean flavour elements, working with contrasts, textures and aromatics to create desserts that balance edge and elegance.

The masterclass offers an inspiring glimpse into the world of patisserie at Koan and Kristian’s approach to telling stories through taste.
