My Cooking

People often ask me “what is your style of cooking?”. I find this difficult to answer. Rather than creating a style, cooking is about creating an experience. When people eat my food, I want it to be a simple pleasure. I want people to experience something unique, but the food should not be so complicated that it takes away from the occasion. When creating new dishes, there are many factors to consider — there are the obvious aspects such as seasonality, taste, texture and the balance of each dish but no matter what the cooking technique, the food should, above all, taste great. The food in this book is designed to be interesting but accessible. I hope to not only share the knowledge and expertise I have accumulated over the years working as a chef, but also my passion for food.
