Peter Asch worked for many years as a chef in well-known gourmet restaurants. Since 2003 he has been fascinated by Chinese medicinal plants and spent a long period of time in China being trained by a doctor specialising in traditional Chinese medicine. Now he is chef at the Klinik Silima where conventional and Chinese medicine combine.
