Itโs very hard to be an innovator at the highest level in any discipline. For some chefs itโs merely about combining ingredients, but thatโs something you can do with your eyes closed.

Ferran AdriaA chef is a chef, a cook is a cook; a lorry driver is a lorry driver and a designer is a designer. I've never heard anyone say that Philippe Starck is a chef. The important thing is dialogue. If I said to Norman Foster that he was a chef he'd say "No", but he might have a dialogue with chefs. People have said to me for many years that I'm not a chef and that I'm an artist instead, but I always say, "No, I'm a chef." I just have dialogues with designers.
