A few weeks ago we did a culinary arts demonstration event with ADF (Alain Ducasse Formation). Chef Nicolas Navarro came to share the spirit of Ducasse’s art and his concern about creating a sustainable cooking. It is always a pleasure to work with such good professionals. Learning from good chefs is very important for me and I feel lucky for having the chance to have worked beside great chefs.
It is my turn now to grow as a person and as a chef. I feel ready for new challenges. I would never like to stop learning. Cooking is part of my soul. I want to do great things and will work hard to make my dreams come true. I like to share my experiences, this is a window for my passion, for this unique art that not many people understand deeply.
