Chef Blank’s gentle obsession with written recipes belies an influence stronger on his cooking than his culinary library: cooking with others who left profound and lasting impressions on his culinary scope and style.
Among the influences on Blank’s cooking was the formidable kitchen presence of his Würtemburger grandmother, Mary Katherina Blank (1859-c. 1954). Fritz’s first cooking memory is, at age three, helping to make his Oma’s potato salad. After more than fifty years, Blank still makes this salad by the gallon for staff meals and special occasions.
