I am just a normal professional with a great job and a great life.

First of all, I can't really claim to be a great chef.

You can do almost anything with soup stock, it's like a strong foundation. When you have the right foundation, everything tastes good.

I have a lot of cooking tools. In fact I have a whole drawer full of knives. Cooking tools, especially cutlery, are my toys.

I think being famous is more of a hindrance, a constraint, than just letting yourself be free.

A lot of people don't enjoy their job, they may even hate it, but I am lucky enough to be able to make a living through my passion.

The only thing that counts is if you know how to prepare your ingredients. Even if with the best and freshest ingredients in the world, if your dish is tasteless or burnt, it's ruined.
