“In private life and at work, I think fast but I think over slow. They are two different things. I like to feel that things in my life belong to me, I like to develop them, it’s a way to encourage myself, an automatic inner work necessary to understand me. The foods I cook … I need to feel them… that they have a story, and is a primary need, like breathing. Wear the chef’s jacket was a natural choice, not the only option because my parents were chef. I wanted it, I burned with the desire to confront with what I lived. And “with this” has become “for that”. The Kitchen. Here is the basic, strong need: moving me for what I do, but also not be afraid to new, strong motivation, able to feed myself and then give nourishment to others.”
