I'm self-taught
I'm an account that, because of a blonde Spanish girl, became a chef
I learned...I'm still learning to cook. The day I learn you'll know it
I have opened various restaurants in Spain, the original in Madrid
The trattoria of my heart
Then I have a restraurant in the luxury Finca Courtesin hotel in Marbella
Then I have a private restaurant with a single table
which is truly "home cooking"
Shakira came to eat there once
She had an egg with truffle,
she had eggplant parmesan,
She had my fickle grandfather's garlic spaghetti recipe
Instead of chili oil he put in anchovies
Instead of peppers he put in njuda calabrese
It costs 3000 euros to go there
With a set menu and twenty people it costs E150 a head,
but then you add champagne, cocktails
because Spain is famous for its gin and tonic, with 160 different kinds of gin
I only distinguish between two types of cooking
I think there is no longer traditional cuisine and avant-garde cuisine
For me, there's good cooking and bad cooking
The mission of Academia Barilla is Mediterannean cuisine
I love that
The inventor of yoga died at 55
Some Greek that ate Mediterannean cuisine with olive oil lived to 102
If I had to choose...
I made spaghetti, instead of alla carbonara, alla "Marbonara"
I only changed two ingredients
Tuna underbelly instead of pork jowl and tuna roe instead of parmesian
The roe my brother sent me from Sicily
I hope to come back soon and that this becomes a regular occurance
Thank you
