INSPIRATIONS

WHO OR WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST INSPIRATION

"I’m inspired by the anticipation of fresh ingredients as the seasons change.  Even the simplest of ingredients should taste of themselves, but in an elevated and more intense way."

duck breast, morcilla, cocoa, beetroot,

"Dishes should use just enough technique to let the produce shine.  Food should be visually attractive but more importantly it must pass the ‘eat well’ test."
