FEATURED STORY

You can never truly describe what you’ve never truly experienced. So, as part of her research for our new book, Beyond Peaks: The Cuisine of Schloss Schauenstein, Phaidon’s multi-award-winning Creative Director, Julia Hasting, paid a visit to the tiny Swiss town of Fürstenau in the Graubünden.

During her time there, Hasting experienced not only the exquisite service and food created by the visionary chefs Andreas Caminada and Marcel Skibba but also observed the changing light inside and outside the castle, walked through its gardens and the surrounding town, absorbing  the things that make this three-Michelin-star restaurant unique.

Hasting’s aim was to understand the atmosphere of Schloss Schauenstein and its culinary world and to then translate the sensory and emotional qualities of the restaurant and surrounding area into a book format. “I wanted to reflect the many layers that make such a visit unique,” she says.
