Vincent Klink (born 29 January 1949 in Gießen)[1] is a German chef, restaurateur, author and publisher of culinary literature, jazz musician and media personality known for his food-focused television shows.

[3] Klink was founder member of the Deutsche Akademie für Kulinaristik, which takes care of the scientific exploration of the culinary art and customs.

[5] After receiving his master craftsman diploma in 1974, Klink and his wife Elisabeth opened their first restaurant, the Postillon in Schwäbisch Gmünd.

[7][8] Klink stated in an interview that he is mainly driven by the pleasure of entertaining and the gathering of cultural knowledge about good food, rather than commercial reasons.

[10] In spite of this distinction and the related celebrity, Klink puts emphasis on creating a relaxed atmosphere aimed at his guests' well-being.

[9] Klink exclusively cooks with vegetables sourced from organic farms and meat from species-appropriate animal husbandry, giving preference to food from the region.
