Thomas Henkelmann is the most French of German chefs. Born in the Black Forest, this devotee of French gastronomy learnt his trade in Alsace before moving his pots and pans to Connecticut, and this beautiful 18th century farmhouse near the coast. Inspired by his travels, Grand Chef Henkelmann likes to break down boundaries and create surprising combinations, such as his champagne sauerkraut accompanied by a seafood mousseline. Each of his recipes makes a subtle reference to his origins. Thomas’s partner, Theresa, is an interior designer and has ensured that the hotel’s décor is worthy of his cooking and the recognition as one of Greenwich’s most tasteful addresses.
