There is no doubt that gastronomy is a universal language which reflects who we are, where we come from, and what we and our culture and society are like.
Gastronomy is also a tool which we have traditionally used with the aim of making people happy through food.
In recent years, society has given us, chefs, an extraordinary power and media presence. I firmly believe that we should use our knowledge not only to make dishes of beautiful food, but also for the benefit of society. This way, we hope to give back to society the impact and importance it has conferred upon our sector. I believe that we should reconceive our stance and start to think about what we should be cooking on two fronts, from two different kitchens.
