Three Questions to the Chef

Where do you find your inspiration when preparing a new recipe?

It all begins with a though, an idea. I then visualise the main ingredient, its dressing and depending on the products at hand, I create the recipe.

My colleagues and I each test the dish in order to analyse the different flavours and the presentation. Everyone gives their opinion and the recipe is perfected from there.

How would you define your cuisine in a few words?

A creative cuisine inspired from my numerous travels, blending local products with European touch, filled with a diversity of flavours and colours.

Which other Relais & Chateaux Grand Chef would you like to meet?

An Asian chef for the diversity of spices used; a south African chef for the blending of their wine and their culture.
