Author Description

Herrlich Hosting is the debut book by Berlin-based creative force Hannah Kleeberg, founder of Herrlich Dining and self-declared Culinary Creative Director. Known for styling butter like sculpture, turning baguettes into coat hooks, and pairing natural wine with slushy specials, Kleeberg brings a radically fresh eye to food, atmosphere, and the rituals of gathering. Forget perfection. This book is about feeling--about turning a meal into a moment, a table into a stage (or anything into a table), and a recipe into a memory. Each chapter opens up its own world--dreamy, bold, or full of wit. From Bridgerton-esque breakfast tables to cake buffets inspired by bowling alleys, from island weddings to nostalgic countryside dinners, it's all about mood, style, and turning any setting into an experience. Herrlich Hosting celebrates a new language of dining: intuitive, emotional, and visually bold. It speaks to a generation at the intersection of food, culture, and self-expression--where hosting is less about rules, and more about rhythm, vibe, and imagination. It's a book for anyone who cooks like a stylist, curates like a designer, and gathers like it's an art form.
