f.y.i.
What would people be surprised to find in
your kitchen?
A state-of-the-art sound system so I can cook
to the sound of beautiful music. The universal
language of love is good food and music.
The place is burning down; you can only
grab three things from the kitchen.
My chef’s knife, my best olive oil and my
CDs... I would be lost without them.
Favourite guilty pleasure?
I never feel guilty about pleasure.
Life is too short for that. Cook, love, eat
with abandon...
What is your motto?
“I cook with no borders.”
What do you value most in a cook?
One who knows that respect for the
ingredient is crucial and that cooking
becomes the process to make it sing.
You need
on a desert island?
Parsley, tomatoes, mint, onions, lemons,
burghul, my chef’s knife, best olive
oil and my CDs that I saved from the
fire. Everything I need to make an epic
tabbouleh salad with hummus on the side
and hoping I’ll bump into someone from
LCBO who will have something to wash it
all down...
