‘KÜCHENTRATSCH’: BILLA launches cooking talk show featuring local celebrities on PULS 4

‘KÜCHENTRATSCH’ turns the private kitchens of Austrian celebrities into the setting for a new cooking talk show format, which was created in collaboration with BILLA and will be broadcast weekly on PULS 4 from 10 September at 6:55 p.m. The focus of the programme is not on the perfect menu, but on the stories of the people who cook together. The show is hosted by actress and cabaret artist Angelika Niedetzky, who visits an Austrian personality at home in each episode. Together they chop, laugh, discuss – and, of course, eat.
