When you start at catering college, nobody prepares you for a book tour or public speaking.
Rene RedzepiI still cook at home. A lot of chefs I think don't cook at home. But I still do, I love cooking at home, I love having friends.
Rene RedzepiAll of the people who work in the kitchen with me go out into the forests and on to the beach. It's a part of their job. If you work with me you will often be starting your day in the forest or on the shore because I believe foraging will shape you as a chef.
Rene RedzepiThat's how people make sense of a meeting: they eat something. If they were in a sad moment it would be the same thing, they'd be eating something. It's what makes life fun. We don't need it to be delicious or great or all these things if we're just to survive. But it's one of those things that makes life fun, livable. And the more I submerge myself in it, the more fun I seem to have.
