Two Questions to the Chef

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

The ambience and character of both the restaurant and hotel inspire my recipes and menu design; I want dishes appropriate for the property and the environment in which they are served.

How would you define your cuisine in a few words?

Quality and freshness of ingredients; unique recipes and dishes not to be found elsewhere; trendsetting menu design.
