Chef, can you tell us about your recipe?
I chose a dish based on ventresca (tuna belly) …
Let’s say it is a ‘simple’ recipe even if it requires some attention in the preparation, especially in the dosage of the three spices, which must be balanced properly.
Well … you are considered the Chef of Tuna …
This is partly true. I am still a curious person who loves to experiment and I believe it is essential to enhance the raw material, reinterpret traditional dishes to bring them to the tables of our days in an ever-current way. As usual, I love to seek excellence.
