My life is a journey navigated through flavors and words. From the time I was a child, the kitchen has been my kingdom, a universe of possibilities where my creativity knew no bounds. With a ladle in one hand and a pen in the other, I cultivated two great passions: cooking and writing, two worlds seemingly distant but intimately connected at the core of my being.My journey into the world of gastronomy starts with the simplicity of family recipes, a precious heritage that taught me not only the value of ingredients but also the stories behind each dish. This passion for storytelling expanded beyond the confines of the kitchen, pushing me to explore the vast territories of literature, from fantasy to thrillers, from psychological novels to any genre capable of stimulating my insatiable curiosity.The turning point in my life came with obtaining a master's in high cuisine, a transformative experience that opened the doors of starred restaurants around the world to me. These years of travel and work were like blank pages for me to fill with new stories, dishes, and encounters, each experience a blend of flavors, colors, and words, each city a new inspiration for my culinary and literary art.Working in internationally renowned kitchens taught me discipline, precision, and the importance of innovation, but it was the intertwining of my love for writing and a passion for cooking that defined my unique identity as a chef-narrator. Every dish I create is a chapter, a story to tell, a sensory journey that invites exploration of distant or forgotten worlds.Writing, for me, is like cooking. It's about mixing the most disparate ingredients - characters, settings, plots - with the same love and care that I put into preparing a dish. And so, between stoves and scattered sheets, between recipes and drafts, I found my balance, my unique voice in the great concert of life.My adventure is a testimony to how passion, dedication, and curiosity can intersect and nourish each other, creating something exceptional. Today, as I look back on the path I've traveled, I realize that my true profession is not simply that of a chef or a writer, but of an explorer of dreams and flavors, of boundaries and words, on an endless journey to discover the human through the art of nourishing the body and soul.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
