interview
Hi Vicenzo, an almost Italian name. Any Italian ancestors?
Hi Vicenzo, an almost Italian name. Any Italian ancestors?
(laughs) No, just a creative mom … Let’s talk about gastronomic trips. What is your favorite destination? Thailand. I was struck by the way of cooking, especially the techniques of the reductions and the delicious morning street food, when the streets are full of stalls offering local food. One of the best soups I’ve eaten in my life was the one prepared by a lady on the street.
A trip you would like to do?
If we talk about a long journey, it would be Japan. I am very interested in the gastronomic cultural experience and in exploring cuisine and techniques. I love sushi and would certainly have a feast of it.
First memory in the kitchen?
My scrambled eggs. I was already a creative child … I used to put salami instead of bacon …
What will I never find in your fridge at home?
Wagyu meat … it’s too expensive …
Your kitchen in three words
Experimental, modern, unique.
A dish that represents you particularly?
My shiitake mushrooms. Chips and fermented vegetables are prerogatives of the NOname menu and I think this dish represents a beautiful fusion of macadamia nuts, mushrooms and leeks. I am intrigued by combining the intensity of the mushroom with the soft creaminess of the walnut.
Can you tell us the recipe?
Here it is.
