After giving birth, many young mothers expect a light meal, such as broth or herbal tea. In Hamburg, at the end of July 2025, German chef Zora Klipp made a completely different choice.
A few hours after the birth of her baby, she enjoyed a Dürüm-Döner directly in her maternity bed.
A Dürüm-Döner to regain strength after childbirth
Known for DAS shows! on NDR and Die Küchenschlacht on ZDF, Zora Klipp shared this moment on Instagram. To celebrate the birth of their child, announced on July 27, 2025, her partner brought her this sandwich. In the caption, she simply wrote that he had “done her a world of good”.
The photos, relayed by the German press on July 29, 2025, show the chef lying on her maternity bed, her newborn snuggled up against her and her Dürüm-Döner placed within reach.
Prepared with a thin wheat pancake, this sandwich contains grilled meat, raw vegetables and sauce. Easier to hold than a classic doner, it can be eaten with one hand. A practical detail when holding your baby in your arms. Served hot and generously garnished, it also helps you regain strength after childbirth.
This generous cuisine mirrors that which Zora Klipp offers in her restaurants Weidenkantine and Blattgold in Hamburg.
“Snacks & Snuggles”: the gourmet daily life of a young mother
Once returned home, the chef continued to share her daily life with her subscribers. On Instagram, she published several photos under the title “Snacks & Snuggles”, which can be translated as “Snacks and hugs”.
We see her enjoying a Franzbrötchen accompanied by coffee, toast with anchovies or even a creamy risotto. In the photos, her baby appears asleep against her or peacefully installed by her side.
The messages of congratulations multiplied. Chef Cornelia Poletto welcomed her baby, while one user said he was moved by “the adorable little feet and little hands” of the newborn. Another sent him an enthusiastic message, writing that “the most beautiful adventure of your life begins now“.
Who is Zora Klipp?
Restaurateur in Hamburg, Zora Klipp became known to the general public thanks to her shows. She put her filming on hold to take advantage of her maternity leave.
During his absence, the NDR channel entrusted his place to chef Hanna Reder. A spokesperson for the chain indicated that it would offer a new recipe every week until the end of November.
Beyond this Dürüm-Döner tasted after giving birth, it was above all the images that touched Internet users. They show a young mother regaining strength, listening to her appetite and taking full advantage of her first moments with her baby, far from the injunctions to quickly regain her figure.
