Bettina Tietjen Leaves NDR’s DAS! Kochstudio as Inka Schneider Takes Over at Easter

The Easter switch signals continuity for the NDR holiday cooking staple.

Overview

  • Tietjen’s farewell episode airs on Good Friday at 6:45 p.m. on NDR with Zora Klipp under the theme “Spanien, olé.”
  • Schneider begins on Easter Monday alongside Klipp preparing “favorite childhood dishes” in her first show.
  • NDR says both Easter broadcasts will be available afterward in the ARD Mediathek for on-demand viewing.
  • Tietjen has fronted the holiday format since 2006, first with chef Rainer Sass and, since 2024, with Klipp, with peak audiences near 500,000 in northern Germany.
  • Schneider, known from DAS! Rote Sofa, says she rarely follows recipes and notes her husband calls her an “anarcho cook.”
