WILDKULINARIK
Magdalene and Wolfgang Grabitz
The repertoire of Magdalene and Wolfgang Grabitz, the hunter couple from Paderborn who cook wild game, ranges from tasty and down-to-earth to exotic. They travel all over Germany with their own seminars, cooking shows and numerous stage appearances.
Not only 'game' is their hobbyhorse, but also the processing of 'regional products' is close to their hearts. Following their two bestselling cookbooks “Das Original Grabitz-Wildkochbuch” and “Das Hüttenkochbuch”, they have successfully placed “Köstliches aus der Grabitz-Wildküche” on the market. All recipes are in the tried and tested style with step-by-step instructions that can give even the inexperienced a culinary sense of achievement.
At this year's 'Jagd und Hund', where they will be on stage for the 21st time in Dortmund, they will once again be presenting extremely interesting game dishes that visitors simply have to try.

Venison can be used in a variety of ways and offers countless possibilities in the kitchen.

Dr. Janine Brunner and Bastian Brunner
We are Dr Janine (veterinarian) and Bastian (professional firefighter) Brunner. Together we have been running the blog @vomWaldindenMund for 8 years, where we write about hunting, venison, recipes and everything that goes with it. We eat vilgan at home, which means we don't buy any meat products, but produce everything ourselves from the game we hunt. Away from home, on the other hand, we are low-maintenance and eat what's on the table. Above all, we want to reach other hunters with our content to inspire them to value their game, refine it themselves and present a positive image of hunting to the public. We live as a small family with our son Jonathan and our three hunting dogs in the Franconian Lake District.
We look forward to nice conversations with you at the Jagd und Hund, so feel free to contact us!
