HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR COOKING STYLE?

I take an innovative approach to traditional ingredients and focus on simplicity. When you use the best available ingredients, you just need a touch of imagination. At that point, my job is to exalt rather than mask flavours, all in an effort to ensure that diners have the full experience of what they are eating in an instant.

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR COOKING STYLE?

‍

What is one of the greatest lessons you have learned in the kitchen?

You should never lower your guard when cooking. It is essential that hands and heart remain in perfect alchemy.

Now over to the glass: what comes to mind when you think of Krug Champagne?

Krug is the essence of Champagne and Krug Grande Cuvée is the result of an extraordinary endeavour. It sees a man, Krug’s Cellar Master Éric Lebel, engaged wholeheartedly in the art of blending using only what nature has generously offered and to beautiful, artistic effect.

If you could prepare a meal paired with Krug for anyone in the world, who would it be?

My mother, my inspiration; the woman who tries all the new recipes I develop. She spent her life cooking in a restaurant and she continues to cook at home, even at 91! She makes homemade pasta from scratch. She taught me that food is love and that message is at the heart of every dish I cook.
