This would suggest he had some hand in those creations.
A typical Lafer. Johann Lafer is known in Germany primarily for his cookbooks (which are undoubtedly good), TV shows, commercials and the "creation" of conveniance meals. With the Stromburg, he also had a hotel with gastronomy, in which there was a star restaurant in the past.
While Lafer was and is very present in the media, he never had a prominent culinary significance for me in Germany. For me, other people such as Witzigmann, Winkler, who unfortunately died recently, Wissler, Jürgens or Müller are more influential.
