From the gang scene to the Michelin-starred chef

From Berlin Gang Scene to Michelin-Starred Chef – An Unvarnished Life Story

Tim Raue tells you his life unfiltered: raw, emotional, honest. In "I Know What Hunger Is," you get an unsparing look into the journey of a man who turned his hunger for more – for success, recognition, and a better life – into the engine of his rise.

Content & Writing Style

Together with co-author Stefan Adrian, Tim Raue describes his escape from the notorious gang "36Boys" and his ascent to the top of international gastronomy. Born in Berlin-Kreuzberg, shaped by violence and poverty, he found his calling in the kitchen and became one of Germany's most influential chefs. This biography is not a self-congratulatory tale – it is a deeply personal account of searching, failing, and triumphing, emotionally told with a rough charm.

Who is this for?

This book is for you if you are inspired by real-life stories, if culinary arts and the people behind them fascinate you, or if social mobility and genuine success stories move you. It is for everyone who wants to understand how discipline and vision can overcome boundaries.

A biography that stays with you – captivating from the first to the last page.
