Cooking, I mean, food, cooking foods is just everything that I do from morning to night. It's how I choose to live my life: through cooking, people that are in food culture. And I love it.

I never cooked at home - my father was the chef.

People will travel anywhere for good food - it's crazy.

Summer's the same, autumn is even more extreme. Then winter is when you sort of condense all of your ideas. You process all these things and you try to look for new concepts. In that sense, your intuition is in hibernation. What you fill up is your imagination; you fill up your memories there.

If you see someone in the kitchen that has good hands and a quick brain, then you need that person to be in the front of everything.
