When it comes to dining with his family, TV chef Roland Trettl has strict rules. “Cell phones are forbidden at the table,” he says in an interview.
Strict rules apply at the dinner table of Roland Trettl’s (50) family. “Cell phones are forbidden at the table,” explains the TV chef in an interview with the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung”. When you call, “we let it ring”. You are only allowed to get up and leave the dining area when you have an important phone call. “Otherwise you pay a fine of five euros,” continues Trettl. “That’s what a piggy bank is in the kitchen for.”
The father of a son attaches great importance to eating together. “It is important that you sit together for lunch and dinner, not just because of the food, but much more because of being together and communicating,” explains Trettl. “If everyone eats when they are hungry, the cooking is no longer good either. Then one person sits on the couch with the cell phone, the other in the kitchen. I think it takes fixed rituals in the family,” he says Keep cooking.
