For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is the balance between pleasure and wellbeing. It is the art of creating elegant and memorable experiences through flavour, technique

I trained in high-level kitchens in Italy and internationally, including Michelin-starred environments, 4 and 5 star hotels in Ibiza, Japan and Thaila

A cooking secret...

Respect for ingredients, precision in technique and the ability to create balanced dishes that deliver flavour, elegance and digestibility.
