CHEF's SECRETS

How this book come about?

The adventure of this book began many years ago. Driven by the curiosity of my scientific training I began to take notes of everything I read and experience about food. As always, the road was hard, I heard different opinions and often with not much of an explanation. One of the fantasies that fascinated me, as a child, has always been an image having lunch with a character of my choice. Who would you choose? Julius Caesar, Leonardo da Vinci, Napoleon? Surely, we would be talking about their lives, battles, and discoveries. Instead, I’d like to imagine a more down to earth meeting, that is, a meal that turns into a journey with someone who can explain everything about food, some kind of chemist-chef.’
