A talk with Sergio Sierra
My obsessions are purely produce and flavour.
How has the way you cook evolved as your career has progressed?
Today, my cooking is much more direct and focused. I do not try so hard to surprise people; my obsessions are purely produce and flavour.
Do you ever get the chance to pick wild mushrooms?
Growing up in Spain, I often went with my father to collect mushrooms. I still remember the smell of them before they were cleaned, and later when we cooked them on my grandmother’s wood-fired stove.
