Rechterfeld, September 2018. Things are heating up in the WIESENHOF Chicken-Schmiede thanks to Timo Hinkelmann: Whether it's fruity-spicy orange chili wings or a hearty BBQ marinade for the whole griller. The well-known TV chef has been creating exclusive, sophisticated dishes for WIESENHOF since July and will appear in various cross-media communication campaigns, such as videos in the WIESENHOF cooking club, as the new face of the brand. The rocker chef with a different kind of recipe ideas will really go full throttle in the WIESENHOF chicken forge. "Due to his broad experience as a chef and food scout, Timo Hinkelmann is an absolute asset for us. As a show chef at this year's Internorga, he already proved that he is a true chicken professional and fits in perfectly with our brand. He won us over with his unbroken creativity and love of experimentation. We look forward to continuing to work with him," says Dr. Ingo Stryck, Marketing Manager at WIESENHOF.

"I can't get anything else into my forge!"
"If chicken, then from WIESENHOF. Nothing else comes into my forge,” says Timo Hinkelmann, who is also known as the rocker chef thanks to band shirts and tattoos. When cooking, he attaches great importance to quality: "At WIESENHOF I know that I'm getting the best quality - and poultry that is guaranteed to have been raised in Germany. Everything that comes under the hammer and on my plate simply has to be good. Because the best recipes are useless if the ingredients are not right.” Born in Herford, he loves a challenge and is always on the lookout for new products and methods of preparation. After a short training as a chef, the 36-year-old became head chef at the Elsbach Restaurant in Herford in 1999 and a little later at Markt 21 in Bad Salzuflen. This is followed by a position as sous chef at Restaurant 1550 GmbH in Brackwede. Timo Hinkelmann has been self-employed since 2011 and runs the Quartier Lounge in Herford. He is best known for his participation in the show "The Taste" in 2014.
