Inaki

Pictured centre, surrounded by his team, Inaki Aizpitarte’s impact on home cooking is just starting to be felt. His is a quest for simplification in the technique and complexity of a dish combined with more demanding expectations of the quality and intrinsic flavour of ingredients. He is in sync with the change of attitude and style of an entire generation, the first who didn’t learn to cook by watching maman. Suddenly it is acceptable to mix lychees and mackerel, buttermilk and rose-scented sorbet, oysters and red fruits, as long as the flavours and technique are pure and simple and the ingredients of highest quality.
